Remnant 2

I AM A SPACE NINJA, carving up robot sentinels on an artificial planet stranded in time. A few hours ago, I was blasting British-accented elves off a dilapidated clocktower with a gun that fires cubes. Before that, I was having my life drained by a cursed board game in an antechamber of a vast golden palace.
If variety is the spice of life, then Remnant 2 is a blazing hot videogame chilli and a deceptively complex bit of game design. It takes the over-theshoulder shooting of Gears of War, welds it to Dark Souls' twitchy dodge-rolling and checkpointed level progression, then feeds it through a procedural generation algorithm that randomizes not just level layouts, but the entire structure of the campaign.
