Remnant: From the Ashes Xbox One review — Is it worth buying?
Before investing in other traits, we would recommend upgrading Vigor and Endurance, in that order, to the maximum level of 20. This way, you'll be able to withstand a lot of damage and run away when need be. However, the extensive Traits make it so you can customize your character however you like.
