## Key points

- Shrek 2 Remastered has mixed Steam reviews.
- Players report technical and co-op problems.
- Epic Games integration and suspected AI textures draw criticism.

## Summary

Shrek 2 Remastered launched to a mixed response on Steam, where players have criticised technical issues and the use of Epic Games integration for online multiplayer. The complaints matter because the release was anticipated by fans of the 2004 game, whose local co-op was a prominent feature.

Of 389 Steam reviews, 46% were positive at the time of the article. Reviewers cited limited settings, poor mouse and keyboard support, graphics they felt looked little improved, and cutscenes that do not run at the new resolution; some also reported local co-op problems. Claims that the remaster uses AI-generated textures are suspicions raised by reviewers, not established facts.
