Regardless, Remnant 2 deserves its spot in the limelight due to how good its gameplay loop can feel and how much of a challenge it packs, to the point that it's often referred to as a gun-based Soulslike - something that its dodge roll and tough bosses helped cement. And yet, another big aspect of the titles from Gunfire Games that Remnant 2 leans into is secrets, and its Archon class is a masterclass in how to add them to video games.

When it comes to Dark Souls, nobody does boss fights quite like FromSoftware. The games are challenging, fun, and addictive to win.
