Soul's Remnant

It's Maplestory, it's just Maplestory, if you miss when Maplestory wasn't power crept to oblivion or stuffed to the brim with pay-to-win you'll love this. I think my favorite part is the create-your-own-class option where you pick and choose what skills you want to utilize with some skills even having a mix of influential stats. You want to make a paladin? Go with holy magic and melee. Want a magus? Magic with melee slashes. Arcane archer? Go with ranged attacks and grab the one attack skill that scales off dexterity and intelligence. The controls take some getting used to but nothing you haven't experienced before. Either way, it's worth giving a shot.

A return to that classic MMO feel. I really like that using a skill actually improves the skills you learn, and what branch of discipline you choose (ranged, magic, faith, melee) shapes the skills you learn. Or you can do a split and learn alternate routes, like a spell-blade. Easily allowing you to swap builds using a loadout system, and letting you refund points in both your stats and skills up to a certain level for free. Using a universal resource for both money, and improving your characters abilities is a neat idea. It encourages you to sell things to both people or NPCs, which in turn will likely make you focus on tasks like crafting, so there's always a piece of equipment you can buy if you choose to not master these life skills. The OST is well done, and it's surprising how much a solo dev did alone (which includes the ost) until just a few years ago. The platforming is pretty cool, and it encourages you to master it or you may end up at the bottom of a pond lol. I do wish there were more customization options, but they are tied behind the cash shop. There does seem to be many types of equipment though to enhance that experience though, and the cash shop items are fairly cheap. The game runs great on my laptop, and I would presume much lower models as well, so it's easily accessible to all types of hardware. I was getting 200+ fps, but I think they limited it to 60 now. Anyways, so far I'm enjoying it and I really hope this game succeeds, and their team grows further so we can continue to see this game grow.
