Remnant: From The Ashes

Getting rid of the Root (of all evil) to save the world from their own subconscious.


Personally not a fan of soul-like games, but since it’s co-op multiplayer, I enjoyed the game even though it was a test of my endurance. Clearing maps and defeating bosses gave me a sense of accomplishment, especially after dying plenty of times. As the player collects gear and levels up, the game’s difficulty seems to scale accordingly.

Overall dark palette, with careful use of color to show importance of information. UI is grunge-y but neat, feedback is adequate, and never gets in the way. My guess is that the theme was probably chosen to represent the post-apocalyptic environment. Icons are very nicely rendered, highly detailed with good use of positive and negative space.
