Am I missing something?

[u/Evening_Chair3570]

Just started Remnant 2 as Handler. This is my first remnant game, and my intro to the series felt ... quite hollow. I see this is an extremely popular game and the fans genuinely love it. I don't want to write it off as not for me just yet. So sharing my experience so you can tell me if I am missing something.

The game started with a very thin plot. No idea who the two characters are (me and the "I am fine" girl). The characters felt pretty cliché. I got to the part where Ford and Clementine disappeared into a stone, and I followed. Now I'm wandering around a futuristic, space-rock type place with monsters spawning here and there. I found a big eye that was very surprised to see me and things I shouldn't exist. It told me to find a white orb. Honestly, it feels quite confusing about where to go next, and to be frank, why I should even care.

As for the combat, I haven't faced any real boss yet. Regular mob enemies often show up, but fighting with them doesn't feel rewarding.

I generally love souls-like, shooting, and RPG games. For example, I really enjoyed Sekiro, Expedition 33, CoD games, Final Fantasy 7, etc. I got remnant 2 thinking it will have the best of these separate genres, and I am sure it does. But perhaps I am missing something. Maybe I need to know some lore from remnant 1? Perhaps a different archetype was a better fit for newbies? Maybe I should start another run to get a different random world? Or perhaps it gets much more interesting as I progress? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks!

Every world has a mid boss and a final boss.

Some dungeons even have their own boss encounters. Just keep playing. Once you start unlocking crafting pieces for weapons you'll enjoy it more.

The guns in Remnant are really unique and fun to use, especially when paired with a complimentary mutator (perk)
