The tutorial segment is very weird for Remnant. My partner died before the 'final stand' segment of it (and before she had even seen all the control prompts) and she was shown the cutscene and dropped off at the Ward!

The game is definitely Souls-lite, and some of the bosses can be brutal (I have not finished my first run of the game, for reference), but I found it to be a fun time with friends. And it appears number 2 dials things up and addresses some of my issues with the game.
