Remnant: From the Ashes
Remnant: From the Ashes is pretty different from a lot of games on this list.
First and foremost, it can be played either solo or in multiplayer. That means that you and your friends can all combat difficult bosses together, sharing in the frustration of figuring out how to defeat them.
The other, more obvious difference is that Remnant: From the Ashes shows what Souls-like combat is like when melee combat isn’t the main focus. Instead, players can choose between guns and melee weapons, with plenty of variety and mods for each of them.
The game’s impressive atmosphere and innovation certainly made for one of the biggest surprises of 2019, coming out of nowhere late last summer.
If you haven’t played this one yet, try it out and see if its “Dark Souls With Guns” approach works for you.
