Remnant From the Ashes Subject 2923 Impressions
The final DLC for Remnant From the Ashes, Subject 2923, is here, offering a fresh campaign and exciting new content. In this article, we’ll share our Remnant From the Ashes Subject 2923 impressions, including our take on the new challenges, locations, and gameplay mechanics. Whether you’re diving into the icy world of Reisum or exploring the military base on Earth, this DLC brings a fitting conclusion to the story. Read on to find out what we think about this final chapter of the game.
A New Beginning, A Familiar Feel
Subject 2923 opens with a slight departure from the randomness players have come to expect from Remnant From the Ashes. Unlike the unpredictable dungeons of the base game, the DLC’s opening sequence is a bit more linear, guiding you through old farmlands and a military base before transitioning to the icy planet of Reisum. While the linearity is a change of pace, it sets the stage for a compelling experience that allows you to focus on exploration and problem-solving.
The military base, in particular, stands out as a maze-like puzzle. Unlike the typical combat-focused gameplay, you’ll need to use your brainpower to figure out where to go and how to get the power on. A unique time-shifting mechanic adds an extra layer of challenge as you interact with various doors and obstacles. It’s a refreshing break from the usual action-heavy gameplay, and I found it to be an enjoyable change.
The Icy Planet of Reisum
Once the power is restored and the portal to Reisum opens, the DLC truly begins to shine. Reisum is a frozen, frigid planet that features a mix of snowy mountains, icy shores, and remote villages. The planet’s stark contrast to Earth’s familiar landscapes is striking, and it’s a visual treat that keeps you engaged.
As expected, Reisum brings its own share of randomized dungeons. Each new area offers fresh puzzles, enemies, bosses, weapons, trinkets, and NPCs to discover. The variety ensures that every playthrough feels distinct and offers hours of content to explore. Players can access Reisum from both the campaign and Adventure Mode at the World Stone, making it easy to cycle through dungeons and fully experience the planet’s vast offerings.
A Satisfying Conclusion
At its core, Subject 2923 doesn’t stray too far from the formula that made Remnant From the Ashes so enjoyable. The DLC sticks with the same formula of randomized dungeons, fast-paced combat, and a steady stream of loot. However, it successfully introduces new elements to keep things fresh, particularly with the military base puzzle and the exploration of Reisum.
If you’ve enjoyed the previous DLCs or the base game, Subject 2923 is a no-brainer. The DLC offers 10-15+ hours of content, making it a worthwhile addition for fans who want more to explore. From new bosses and weapons to deep lore, Subject 2923 gives you everything you loved about the game, along with a satisfying conclusion to the story.
As Gunfire Games wraps up this chapter of Remnant From the Ashes, it leaves players with a sense of closure while also fueling excitement for what’s to come next.
