A Short but Satisfying Experience
Remnant 2: The Awakened King DLC is a must-play for fans of the game. Despite its short duration of four hours, the DLC offers a well-crafted and enjoyable experience with high replayability. The blend of precise gunplay, Soulslike elements, and deep RPG systems make it a polished and satisfying addition to the game. However, the brevity of the DLC leaves players wanting more rather than feeling fully satisfied.
A Familiar Yet Rewarding Journey
The DLC takes players back to Losomn, the familiar world of the base game. The new content is seamlessly integrated into the existing zones, allowing players to explore both the new levels and the original Losomn areas. The Forlorn Coast serves as the overworld for The Awakened King Losomn variant, offering a randomly arranged open zone with side areas, dungeons, secrets, and hidden treasures to discover.
Worthwhile New Content
The DLC introduces seven new weapons, each with a satisfying impact and unique playstyle. While some items have obscure unlock requirements, most can be obtained through thorough exploration. The new rings also provide powerful effects that enhance specific builds. The standout addition is the Ritualist Archetype, which specializes in applying status effects and brings new abilities and playstyles to the game. The bosses in The Awakened King are challenging but fair, with the final boss, The One True King, being particularly memorable.
More of the Same
While The Awakened King offers a satisfying experience, it doesn’t bring anything truly innovative or surprising to the table. The Forlorn Coast and its side areas mostly reuse assets from the base game, making them feel less fresh and new. The DLC’s randomly generated areas using familiar art can sometimes blur the line between base-game Losomn and the DLC zones.
Conclusion
Overall, Remnant 2: The Awakened King DLC is a thoroughly enjoyable addition to the game. Despite its short duration, it offers worthwhile new content, including weapons, rings, and the exciting Ritualist Archetype. While it may not bring anything groundbreaking, it provides a satisfying experience for fans of the game.
