The ultimate edition is out and available. I picked up that edition from GMG. The game has a good feel. Don't remember if the original had a minimap but this one does. This took 4 years or so, which is a pretty fast pace for a small studio. The first game was really good so I did not have any issues preordering.
Glad to hear it still has good feels. I was watching a few streamers play it briefly, and it looked like good fun again. Think I'll pick this up.

Completely subjective here, but some game engines just have the right 'feel' to me. Remnant was that kind of game, it felt good. I don't know if it's movement speed, field of view, object depth, or what, but it just felt really nice controlling my dude. Hope this one feels the same.

I also got 20% off which was the gold xp discount, but it was 18% off for everyone at the time (don't know if it's still the case or not).PropheT wrote on Jul 20, 2023, 14:04:Hrmmm, showing $69.99 when I followed your link. weirdRedEye9 wrote on Jul 20, 2023, 13:46:Jim wrote on Jul 20, 2023, 13:43:CheapShark is showing Cheapest Ever: $69.99 on June 8, 2023 for Ultimate from GMGRhett wrote on Jul 20, 2023, 13:36:what region?

Nice! Got the ultimate edition for essentially base game MSRP (GMG), and I never get ultimate editions... Looks very promising.

It's $57.39 right now on greenmangaming for the Ultimate version.

U.S. GMG (Green Man Gaming) "Gold XP" or whatever it is, has a 20% discount - although that's only 2% more than it currently is, at $57.39.
I don't really see it discounted anywhere else except potential gray markets, at least as far as deals.gg is concerned.
Edit: Maybe try July17 as a code, too. That may apply.
Likely a day-one buy for me. First game was a great time.

Down boy... got the first one free on Epic, very good. Looking forward to this!
I'll be getting this. The original was a very solid shooter soulslike. Levels and bosses are somewhat randomized. They had some clever ideas and overall they worked well.
Looks good.
IGN gave it a 9

Yeah, I stumbled on Remnant: From the Ashes when it was a PS+ freebie and it caught me off guard. Great game, and I'm really looking forward to this one.
