The story of Remnant: From the Ashes receives mixed but often nuanced praise, particularly for its world-building and ambient storytelling. Critics like Cultured Vultures and We Got This Covered highlight its intriguing, gradual narrative that unfolds through journals, dialogue trees, and environmental details, creating a sense of mystery and discovery. RPGamer commends the effort put into fleshed-out characters and an immersive post-apocalyptic world, while MGG praises the engaging storyline with "intriguing characters" and interactive elements. Additionally, GamingTrend notes that while the big-picture narrative may lack satisfaction, the lore and world-building are well-developed, offering depth for players who seek it. The game’s focus on exploration and player-driven discovery is seen as a strength, even if the story isn’t the primary hook. However, the narrative faces significant criticism for being underdeveloped, convoluted, or unengaging. Gamer.nl and Slant Magazine accuse the plot of relying on jargon and "deadwood," with unclear motivations and a lack of emotional investment. Hardcore Gamer and GameStar (translated from German) describe the story as "loose," "limp," or "confusing," with lore that feels disconnected from gameplay. Shacknews criticizes the overuse of proper nouns, making it hard to track characters and locations, while IGN and GameSpot call the narrative "uninteresting" and "lacking in character development." Many reviewers, including Meristation and New Game Network, point to unremarkable characters, clichéd tropes, and a lack of originality, with some calling it a "tired apocalyptic survival genre." The story’s secondary role to gameplay is both praised and criticized, as it allows for flexibility but risks leaving players unsatisfied. Overall, the consensus leans toward mixed but generally favorable assessments of the narrative. While many critics agree that Remnant: From the Ashes prioritizes gameplay over storytelling, they acknowledge its strengths in world-building, lore, and atmospheric engagement. Cultured Vultures and Digital Chumps appreciate the player-driven mystery, while GameGrin and Critical Hit note that the story, though convoluted, can be overlooked for the game’s core appeal. Conversely, IGN, GameSpot, and Gamer.nl emphasize its flaws, arguing that the narrative fails to resonate emotionally or cohesively. The game’s story is seen as a secondary experience—more of a backdrop than a driving force—but its layered lore and exploration elements earn it respect from players who value depth over traditional storytelling. Ultimately, while the narrative isn’t a standout feature, it complements the game’s action-oriented design in ways that many critics find acceptable or even compelling.

The gameplay of Remnant: From the Ashes is widely praised for its blend of Souls-like challenge and shooter mechanics, creating a dynamic and engaging experience. Critics consistently highlight its responsive gunplay, diverse weapon options, and procedural generation as standout features. Shacknews and GameGrin commend the "crisp and satisfying gunplay" and "variety of weapons," while XboxAddict notes the game’s "challenging but rewarding" mechanics inspired by Dark Souls. The co-op focus is another major strength, with SomosXbox and IGN emphasizing how teamwork makes the difficulty more manageable. Additionally, the game’s emphasis on customization—through mods, traits, and weapon upgrades—is lauded by critics like Destructoid and GameCritics, who praise its depth and replayability. The combination of third-person shooting, strategic combat, and randomized elements creates a sense of discovery, as noted by Screen Rant and GamingTrend, who highlight the "satisfying gunplay" and "engaging core loop." However, several critics point to notable flaws that detract from the experience. Slant Magazine criticizes the "lack of viable melee combat," "unfair difficulty scaling in co-op," and "randomized boss appearances affecting weapon drops." Shacknews and The Indie Game Website mention pacing issues, with the latter noting "formulaic" level design and "questionable AI." Other concerns include the gear system’s underwhelming nature (IGN) and clunky mechanics, such as "limited approaches to combat initially" (DarkStation) and "unbalanced boss encounters" (We Got This Covered). Some reviewers, like KeenGamer and Windows Central, also point to occasional awkwardness in gameplay flow, such as "clunky melee combat" and "empty dungeons." While these issues don’t overshadow the game’s strengths, they highlight areas where refinement could improve the experience. Despite these criticisms, the majority of critics agree that Remnant: From the Ashes delivers a compelling and rewarding gameplay experience. The Souls-like difficulty, combined with shooter mechanics and co-op focus, is seen as a successful hybrid, with GameInformers and Hardcore Gamer calling it "challenging and rewarding" and "the strongest aspect." While some flaws exist—particularly around combat balance and pacing—the overall consensus leans heavily toward praise. Critics like Jeuxvideo.com and MMORPG.com emphasize the game’s "versatile combat options" and "engaging experience," while others, such as GameGrin and GamingTrend, highlight its replayability through procedural generation and diverse builds. For most reviewers, the game’s strengths in mechanics, customization, and co-op collaboration outweigh its shortcomings, solidifying it as a standout entry in the action RPG genre.

The graphics and visual design of Remnant: From the Ashes received praise for their artistic direction, environmental variety, and immersive atmosphere. Many critics highlighted the game’s unique blend of post-apocalyptic and fantastical elements, with GameSpot noting "diverse landscapes" and "unique art direction creating an immersive experience." TheXboxHub commended "impressive character models," while Softpedia celebrated the "unique art style blending fantasy, steampunk, and occult symbolism." Several reviewers observed that the visuals improve as players progress, with Critical Hit praising "incredible environmental art-design" and "gorgeous vistas," and GameGrin noting that the game starts with a "bland mix of browns and greys" but becomes "visually stunning and varied" later. Enemy designs were frequently lauded for their detail and creativity, with Eurogamer Italy highlighting "well-executed graphics and enemy design," and XboxAddict pointing to "impressive environments and detailed designs" in later worlds. However, technical shortcomings and platform-specific issues overshadowed many positives. On the Nintendo Switch, critics like Pure Nintendo described "rough graphics" with "blurry details and frequent pop-in," while Starbit noted that "graphics push the limits of the Nintendo Switch hardware" but suffered from reduced textures and performance issues. Similar complaints arose on PC, where New Game Network criticized the "Unreal Engine-y" look, "stiff character models," and reused assets, and Meristation mentioned "technical issues like hitbox problems." On PS4, Everyeye.it criticized subpar NPC models and optimization flaws causing crashes, while Video Chums found the graphics "neither stylish nor realistic." Many also noted repetitive or sparse level design, with GameSpew observing that "outdoor maps can be sparse and empty at times" and Hardcore Gamer criticizing "spare level design" despite rich visual palettes. Overall, critics generally agreed that Remnant: From the Ashes boasts a strong artistic vision and visually engaging environments, but technical limitations and inconsistent execution tempered its impact. While GameSpot, IGN, and Softpedia praised the game’s immersive world-building and unique aesthetics, platforms like the Switch faced significant graphical compromises, as highlighted by Pure Nintendo, Starbit, and Switch Player. The consensus leaned toward a balanced assessment: the visuals are ambitious and often impressive, particularly in later stages, but issues with optimization, asset reuse, and level design prevented it from reaching its full potential. As GameGrin noted, the game "starts bland" but "becomes visually stunning," reflecting a broader sentiment that Remnant’s visual strengths are evident but occasionally undermined by technical flaws.

The sound design and music of Remnant: From the Ashes received mixed but generally positive feedback from critics, with several highlighting its immersive qualities and atmospheric contributions. KeenGamer praised the "satisfying battle sounds" and an "understated, haunting soundtrack that fits the game's aesthetic," while Impulsegamer noted that the sound design effectively "immerses the player into the world." GameStar commended the catchy title music and positive feedback on weapon sounds, and Softpedia appreciated how the soundtrack complemented the atmosphere with calming music in safe areas and ominous ambient sounds in dangerous zones. Shacknews emphasized that the sound design made combat feel impactful through "unique violence to weapon sounds" and enemy recoil animations, while New Game Network highlighted clever audio cues for enemy behavior. These critiques underscore the game’s ability to create a cohesive and engaging auditory experience, particularly in its environmental storytelling and action sequences. However, several critics pointed out notable flaws, particularly regarding consistency and technical execution. 3DJuegos noted that the sound design "could use more variety," while Everyeye.it criticized "poor voice acting" and "inconsistent audio levels." Jeuxvideo.com and others mentioned "poor sound spatialization" as a recurring issue across platforms, with Screen Rant specifically pointing out that muddied sound effects on the Switch made combat feel less impactful. RPGamer found the music "unmemorable," and Vandal highlighted problems like "excessive ambient noise" and "noticeable lip-sync issues in the Spanish dub." Additionally, some critics, like GameCritics (on Nintendo Switch), noted that while sound was crucial for gameplay, the review lacked specific details on the music or sound design. These critiques reveal a disconnect between the game’s ambition and its execution, particularly in areas like audio clarity and emotional resonance. Overall, the consensus among critics leans toward a balanced assessment: while Remnant: From the Ashes excels in creating an immersive atmosphere through its sound design and music, it struggles with technical inconsistencies and occasional lack of variety. Positive remarks from outlets like KeenGamer, GameSpace, and Shacknews emphasize the game’s strengths in environmental storytelling and combat feedback, whereas negative critiques from Everyeye.it, Screen Rant, and RPGamer highlight flaws that detract from the experience. The mixed reception suggests that while the sound design is generally effective, its impact varies across platforms and depends on individual sensitivity to audio quality. Despite these issues, many critics agree that the auditory elements contribute meaningfully to the game’s overall immersion, even if they fall short of being exceptional or groundbreaking.

The voice acting in Remnant: From the Ashes receives a mixed but generally favorable reception, with several critics highlighting its strengths. PlayStation Universe praised the "well-crafted dialogue and characters," noting that NPCs feel like genuine individuals with compelling backstories, while Gameplanet and GameSpace both commended the "well-acted" NPCs, enhancing immersion. GameStar specifically highlighted the quality of English and German voice work, particularly praising the German voices and text. IGN acknowledged that the voice acting is "generally good," even if it lacks depth, and The Indie Game Website described it as "a little odd in places but good overall." Additionally, Generación Xbox and SomosXbox celebrated the Spanish voice acting, calling it a commendable addition for a game of its budget. These positive remarks suggest that while not flawless, the voice work contributes meaningfully to the game’s atmosphere and character engagement. However, several critics pointed out significant shortcomings. Everyeye.it criticized the Italian voice acting as "lacking," contributing to overall disappointment in sound design, while New Game Network called it "painfully inconsistent" with subpar performances that undermined the game’s serious tone. IGN noted that the sparse voice acting "tells the player where to go and what to do" but fails to create emotional investment. We Got This Covered criticized the protagonist’s "cringy" quips as out of place, and Worth Playing found the limited dialogue for the main character repetitive. Windows Central also mentioned "questionable" voice acting and "repetitious" dialogue, while Xbox Tavern described it as merely functional—"getting the job done." These critiques highlight issues with consistency, emotional depth, and variety in performances, particularly in certain language versions. Overall, the consensus among critics is that Remnant: From the Ashes’s voice acting is decent but uneven. While some praise its ability to enhance character depth and immersion—particularly in English, German, and Spanish iterations—others criticize its lack of consistency, emotional resonance, and repetition. The mixed reception suggests that while the voice work meets basic expectations for a game of its scale, it falls short of delivering a truly immersive or impactful auditory experience. Critics like GameStar and SomosXbox highlight commendable efforts in specific language tracks, but the broader sentiment leans toward "passable" or "functional," with notable room for improvement in areas like emotional nuance and variety.

The technical performance of Remnant: From the Ashes varies significantly across platforms, with several reviewers highlighting notable strengths. On PS4, critics like 3DJuegos praised its procedural generation and level design despite minor issues like enemies getting stuck in environments, while GameCritics noted improvements from the launch version. For Nintendo Switch, MMORPG.com lauded the "smooth performance" with no major frame rate drops or bugs, and Pure Nintendo acknowledged a decent portable experience despite long load times. On PC, Attack of the Fanboy reported a "smooth and stable experience," while Vandal commended its optimization, calling it a "technical achievement." Meanwhile, Xbox One saw praise for stability from Generación Xbox, which highlighted consistent performance in closed environments. These positives suggest that the game’s core mechanics and design are well-executed across platforms, though technical execution differs. However, several platform-specific challenges emerged. On PS4, Everyeye.it criticized frame rate issues and crashes as signs of "lack of polish," while PlayStation Universe noted unbalanced fights and frame rate problems. The Switch faced criticism for glitches like enemy clipping (GameCritics) and visual downgrades (Hey Poor Player), with Movies Games and Tech pointing to "tiny map size" and potential performance issues. On PC, Gameplanet highlighted bugs, disconnects, and latency, while Hardcore Gamer described co-op sessions as plagued by "technical issues." For Xbox One, SomosXbox criticized control problems requiring restarts, and Xbox Tavern noted lag during boss battles with many enemies on screen. These negatives reveal a mix of persistent bugs, optimization struggles, and platform-specific limitations that detract from the experience. Overall, critics generally agree that Remnant: From the Ashes is a technically sound game with strong procedural elements, but its performance varies by platform. The PS4 version shows improvement over time but still suffers from frame rate inconsistencies and crashes, as noted by Everyeye.it and PlayStation Universe. The Switch port faces mixed reviews, balancing smooth moments (MMORPG.com) with glitches and load times (GameCritics). While PC and Xbox One versions are praised for stability in some cases (Attack of the Fanboy, Generación Xbox), they also grapple with bugs and co-op issues. Despite these flaws, many reviewers acknowledge that the game’s core design and polish—particularly on PC and PS4—make it a compelling experience, even if technical hiccups remain. The consensus is that while Remnant has room for refinement, its strengths in gameplay and world-building outweigh its technical shortcomings.

TL;DR

Procedural generation and co-op depth drive Remnant: From the Ashes' replayability, offering dynamic worlds, boss variety, and carry-over progression. Critics praise its challenge-driven design, multiplayer synergy, and semi-procedural campaigns, but flaws like repetitive layouts, frustrating detours, and shallow progression hinder longevity. While Souls-like difficulty and randomized elements attract fans of chaos, critics note inconsistencies, dead ends, and a lack of New Game+—leaving its appeal split between hardcore players and those craving polish.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the replay value.

The majority of reviewers highlight procedural generation and randomized elements as core strengths of Remnant: From the Ashes, which significantly enhance its replay value. Critics like IGN, GameGrin, and PC Gamer emphasize that dynamically generated environments, varied boss encounters, and unique loot drops create fresh experiences with each playthrough. The game’s multiplayer component is also praised for adding depth, with Destructoid noting the shared bonfire resurrection mechanic and Switch Player highlighting co-op gameplay as a key factor in extending longevity. Additionally, features like character progression systems, trait customization, and the ability to carry over upgrades between runs (as noted by CGMagazine and MGG) encourage players to experiment with different builds and strategies. The semi-procedural nature of campaigns, allowing for re-rolls with increased difficulty (per Hardcore Gamer), further reinforces its appeal for completionists and fans of challenge-driven gameplay. However, several critics point out significant drawbacks that limit the game’s replayability. Slant Magazine and Jeuxvideo.com criticize the superficiality of procedurally generated content, noting repetitive layouts and confusing objectives that can frustrate players. Critical Hit and GameSpew highlight issues with incremental progression and a lack of meaningful advancement, while New Game Network and Vandal mention dead ends and frustrating detours in randomized level designs. The game’s reliance on procedural generation also leads to inconsistencies, such as bosses being overly reliant on "adds" (as noted by PlayStation Country) or the absence of a New Game+ mode (per TrueGaming). Additionally, some reviewers, like Pure Nintendo, suggest that the Souls-like difficulty and genre-specific appeal may alienate players who prefer less punishing experiences, further narrowing its replayability for broader audiences. Overall, the consensus among critics is mixed but leans toward positive, acknowledging Remnant: From the Ashes as a game designed for multiple playthroughs despite its flaws. While GameSpot, PC Gamer, and GamingTrend praise its procedural systems and engaging co-op mechanics, they also recognize limitations in depth and consistency. The game’s replay value is often tied to player preferences: those who enjoy challenging, randomized experiences (as noted by IGN Italia and 3DJuegos) may find it highly rewarding, while others might be deterred by repetitive design or pacing issues. Ultimately, the game’s ability to offer varied experiences through its systems is widely appreciated, but its success in maintaining long-term engagement depends on how well players navigate its trade-offs between innovation and repetition.
