I'm still stuck on N'erud, that's where it sent me after i re-rolled down to the medium difficulty. I have finally bought and switched archetypes to the dog so solo has got a bit easier, I just send the dog in and pick them off with the hunter rifle. got a decent smg pistol for when I need a short range weapon too.

I think the Handler with mutt is the game's intended solo character for what is essentially a co-op game.

Anyone aware of a fix for the SSAO turning off at the edges of the screen?

Quite distracting once you notice it.

Unlocked some new weapon mods tonight, didn’t realise they actually change the aesthetics of your weapon too, pretty cool

Yeh I noticed that too, hopefully will get patched, but not a biggy (for me).

Jumped on this one today as well as I played the 1st game. Loving at the moment and yeah it is pretty demanding of the PC hardware that I have. Can manage to get decentish FPS (80-90FPS)on 4K Ultra with DLSS on Performance on my 4080 , but usually I like to have it on DLSS Quality but that tanks FPS to just over 60FPS. Dropping to High Preset doesn't really increase FPS all that much to be honest. I'm sure that patches will improve the FPS somewhat but it seems pretty playable at 80-90FPS. It's a bit of a nice break for me from D4.

Mate bought it so had my first experience with co-op play again. Absolute game changer it’s just so much better as a co-op shooter. Loving the little puzzles thrown in too.

Nice, hopefully it comes down some more by the time I've done with the first one.

Was thinking to get the first one. Worth it? It's £12 atm

I got it free on epic store so definitely worth it for me. I hear it's very similar to the 2nd so maybe just go with that.

Absolutely loving this game, in about 25 hours now. Been a mix of solo/playing with friends, all on the medium difficulty.

Only boss i found particularly challenging was the ghost lady in the nuthouse

(Not saying I didn't spend a few retries on others, just nothing else has felt near dark souls level frustrating)

Where are you seeing it at that price?

I just realised the same I have the first one on epic store when it was free. One thing worth remembering for xbox owners is several games if bought from xbox have a windows store version included as well such as the first one shown in the "playable on" works if xbox keys are bought from other key sites as well

Was also thinking of picking up the first/original game - For those who have played both, do you need to have played the first game (From the Ashes) prior to trying the new one, or does it not really matter?

Cheers.

There are references to "The Wanderer" (you in the first game), but I don't really think it matters.

Its a good game though, and worth playing in its own right.

Is this a K&M or controller game? I know it's generally subjective but was wondering what choice you were all making?

Gamepad is brilliant in this game, and like a lot of games these days, was clearly designed around one.

I exclusively use pads when I can, so can't comment on how good or bad it is with KBM.

I play on K&M, its 100% fine with K&M

At Cdkeys. Remnant from Ashes. Right ? So is it worth it? I don't use epic and won't even if it's free
