It’d be a nice place to settle down, but when your friend is dragged through the reactivated crystal, you’ve no choice but to go in and get them back. You’re joined by allies new and old, with many of the past game’s characters returning here, much older and more hopeful, living in a small town built above Ward 13. In Remnant 2, you’re the Traveler, a new protagonist who must take up arms against the Root. However, it hasn’t been fully vanquished, and the canon choices made at the end of the previous campaign have left many other worlds open to invasion. Set some years after the first game, the Root has been effectively pushed out of Earth thanks to the actions of the Wanderer, Founder Ford, and your allies in From the Ashes. You’ll meet the same bosses over the course of several runs, and the items crafted from boss materials feel a little too restrictive, but ultimately your story will be yours alone.Īlthough, the story itself has a tad more setting than actual substance. The idea is that no one will have the exact same experience, and it works incredibly well. You’ll have a random starting world each time, and each of these worlds is broken down into random dungeons, objectives, and bosses. Each of its worlds is procedurally generated, as is your path through them.

Remnant 2 is a sprawling, multi-branching labyrinth of a game. You’d be wrong, though, because Gunfire Games’ difficult second chapter deliberately ups the density, to often quite staggering results. Remnant 2 refreshingly drops the subtitle, which you’d assume would be a metaphor for a simpler, more streamlined design. But once I was in, I was all the way in, which set me in great stead for the sequel. I tried and failed to get into it several times around its launch, and it wasn’t until this year that it really made its mark on me. The following lists all traits that appear in the game.I was a little late to the party with Remnant: From the Ashes, and not through a lack of will. All traits affect a Sim's behavior and emotions, for example, a creative Sim may randomly become inspired, while a Sim that loves outdoors will sink into a low mood if they stay inside too long. Toddlers and Infants both have 1 personality trait, taken from separate sets of toddler-specific and infant-specific traits. Teens may have up to 2 traits, and children only have 1 trait. The Observant reward trait allows a Sim to instantly learn the traits of other Sims.Īdult Sims created in Create a Sim may have up to three traits. For example, asking a Sim's career will reveal if they have the ambitious trait, or flirting with a Sim may reveal the romantic trait.
