    Visually stunning and atmospheric. Gameplay is solid but the structure holds this back, along with some jaw dropping decisions when it comes to respecting a players time. With no ability to save or checkpoints, the probability that large chunks of progress will be lost because life or the dreaded crash (it's happened to me 3 times), is great.

With no ability to save or checkpoints, the probability that large chunks of progress will be lost because life or the dreaded crash (it's happened to me 3 times), is great.
    The game also has some bugs that stop progress and forces you to have to repeat a run, just like a crash. Ultimately, the story which has a great premise, falls short late game, and makes completing the game more of a slog than it should be. This could have been an 8 or 9 with some better decision making on the devs part, a more robust narrative in the second half of the game, and better marketing that didn't mislead many that pre-ordered the game. I was consuming every bit of news and followed the lead up to release intently and even I was surprised to find out the week before release how many of the games systems were implemented. A lot of people who didn't pay as close attention to the information just before release, will buy this expecting something closer to an action/adventure, 3rd person FPS, and be disappointed.    … Expand

    A brilliant game. I was sceptical because this is my first roguelike game I have ever played and yes, it is hard af. All souls games seemed to be hard at the beginning but "practice makes you perfect definitely" so I beated all souls-like game on the market with big smile on my face.
    Atmosphere, sound and graphics are just amazing, gameplay is so addictive. I love this game.

    Boring, repetitive SLOG of a game. I like roguelikes, but this game lacks variety and fun. And for SEVENTY DOLLARS?!! That's absurd. Too bad Sony is so dirty and greedy they won't allow a refund. Game is trash. Stay away.

    Eight crashes, three game breaking bugs and everything starts from scratch. I'm afraid to start already a run. I'm very disappointed.

Don't get me wrong and this games story, graphics, ray tracing, use of the PS5 controllers functions and everything is here. I don't mind dying all the time and jumping back in but with no check points or saving options this is really not what games are about these days. People's time is worth that function to be put into this game and then it's a 10. Great first PS5 exclusive and worth the buy because of what it brings to the table for gamers.

    The honest core gamers that pay the most and is the most pasionate about gaming dosent stand a chance in getting a triple A game that is developed with their tastes and wants the priority these days. Its all about the journalists scores and using the fanboys the right ways.


    $70 for this buggy game that can crash and cost you hours of progress , this is a joke. Its one of those lazy stories that are so vaugue that theres no actual plot. They use the , make your own conclusions excuse for the fact they couldnt make a good plot.. Not that it matters as its so hard to give a crap about a protagonist with resting female bog face anyway.. But really the plot is stupid not matter which vague conclusion you choose, fever dreams , all in tbe head stuff, but shes running around pew pewing aliens, its dumb.

    Ive had the game hard crash my system, ive had doors not trigger so I am stuck and have to restart, ive had the game just plain freeze. This type of game can be fun if its done right. It all reliant on RNG, luck and time gate , its not hard its imposible,. The game lets you progress when it wants you to progress, the longer you play the more powerful item get unlocked and there is less cheap one hit kills. Its a way to arificially make the game seem bigger and longer than it is. But really this is a cheap budget game through and through..
    Get " RISK OF RAIN 2" if your interested in this experiance. Its 1/4 the price 10 times more polished , 100 times more fun and satisfying and you dont have to play as a Hilary Clinton look a like. In fact you unlock a bunch of characters adding to the games quality over Returnal..    … Expand

    10/10 cause of review bombing, my honest note would be 8 or 9/10 though, so not that far off.

    The game is NOT as hard as some people are saying, anyone saying you have to start everything from scratch when you die haven't got pass the first boss or don't have the game. Actually the amount of things you keep inbetween runs is quite lenient for a rogue-like.

    The game is NOT as hard as some people are saying, anyone saying you have to start everything from scratch when you die haven't got pass the first boss or don't have the game.
    Actually the amount of things you keep inbetween runs is quite lenient for a rogue-like.
    You get to keep a massive upgrade after each boss, making the first stages way easier, AND you get a pretty massive shortcut to later stages once a boss killed, these shortcuts also adjust your level to the current stage, giving you a hefty boost. (About 5 levels per stage, so on stage 2 you get boosted straight up to level 5, on stage 3 to level 9)

    In a nutshell your usual run at mid-late game will be something like :
    - Rush through the first level trying to get some upgrades if you can
    - Get the shortcut to the level you are currently dying on
    - Get a weapon in the new stage as fast as possible

    And with only that you're pretty much caught up with where you died.

    Now that the discussion about difficulty is over, the game in itself is great, the particle effects are amazing, the gunplay feels really great, (seeing every enemy attack feels way better to me than the usual "invisible" bullets we get in Third Person shooters. Since dodging is possible, getting hit leads to a bigger penalty than in usual TPS), the atmosphere is really great, I was genuinely startled/scared during the first few hours before really figuring out the gameplay loop, the enemy designs and the music, coupled with the weight of the hits you take are really coming together to get this feel of unease. I feel like this game accomplishes what Prometheus aimed for but way better and in video-game form.

    The bosses I've encountered yet are all also very interesting, not cheap but pretty demanding, they have very well defined patterns and it's up to you to react to them, once again knowledge will be your best weapon to defeat a boss giving you trouble.

    This game's worst aspect to me would be its items (which is telling on the quality of the whole game) the items are well thought and usually give you either bonuses, sometimes changing your play style or very interesting risk/reward choices, (a huge bonus with a hefty downside that could cause your downfall) but they rarely bring synergy with the weapon unlike with a Binding of Isaac or a Risk of Rain 2. Sometimes there is some opportunity to do a build around the secondary shot but that's it.
    The game is less about making "the build" but managing a lot of risk/reward choices and trying to survive as best as you can.

    This tamer nature of items is probably a design choice to make the player less reliant on items allowing skilled players to come out on top no matter how unlucky they can be. You can still have some lucky drops making the game easier, but bad luck will usually not cause a death.

    TL;DR : Great Game ! Pretty demanding gameplay wise, but the catching up mecanics are saving the gameloop from being tedious or boring. Would recommend trying it even later down the line, this game is already a top PS5 game to me and should stay in my Top 10 for a good amount of time.    … Expand

    Never played a roguelike before but this game is honestly really good. The game utilizes the dualsense really well and helps you feel more immersed in the gameplay. Although you have to start over when you die this game is really addicting.

    I played with a professional headset and so far the best 3D audio on ps5 to date (same as demon souls). I can pin point the exact location of the enemy. The Dualsense support is just marvelous. I notice you can also locate an enemy with the Dualsense haptic feedback. Very precise. Took the headset off for testing. The only downside is the lack of trigger vibration such as in COD Black Ops Cold War but to compensate the Alt Fire option does the trick for the trigger. Overall its the best game showcasing the haptic feedback beside Astro playroom. The gameplay is fast quick and responsive. The story is very interesting that you have to put together yourself. In general, I got the vibe of Alien or James Cameron’s Avatar. The cons are that I have encountered some bugs during some cycles. I created an item just to find out I am unable to take it. When this happen no door would open, I was stuck in a room. I was lucky I was at the beginning of yhe cycle but when you have good gear such as an artefact that repair your health when its low and you have to start over because of this is annoying. Hopefully it will get patch later on. However I found very frustrating the lack of health item in the game. I will be fighting 100 enemies that will deal huge amount of damage and will have next to zero healing capabilities. I explore to get some health and I once spend 20 minutes looking around to find nothing. I found myself going to a boss room without healing consumables and low health. This is unfair for a game that hard and I am coming from Demon Souls which I platinum.

    This lack of fair gameplay puts me off the game which I really, really want to enjoy. I simply cannot recommend the game to everybody.    … Expand

    Absolutely love this game! Extremely inventive and just plain old fun.
    Fantastic visuals mixed with gameplay that's truly fun and doesn't get old.
    Unlike many other Sony offerings, me and my bf actually like this.
    Zero political agenda too. My fav ps5 game. I voted for GOTY.
    Part 2 when?

    Returnal is the most amazing game PS5 possess so far. The gunplay is beautiful, battle system works beautiful and I’ve never played something that makes me stay 4 hours sit in a round.

    Amazing game. Great story, game mechanics are spot on. No wasted items, all loot is important. Took 17 hours to finish first play through, but as an old school Doom player, who's played all Dooms on nightmare, this game was fairly easy for me. Last night I managed to do a full run in one sitting with around 5 hours play time.

    A fun game for the first few hours… but the story progression dries up as you grind for a build that’ll get you through each area. It needs either more story beats to keep you engaged, or lower difficulty to let you progress what story there is more quickly. When you’re grinding repetitiously with no new story progression for hours at a time, it gets tedious. And that’s a shame.

    Barely a roguelite and much more akin to a rogue like . Hate seeing this compared to dead cells and hades as in regards to those roguelites returnal is nothing like them. Seeing as practically nothing is carried over and no skill trees to unlock give you a boost to weapons or extra resources to start each subsequent run.

At first, the procedurally generated world makes it interesting, but then you start to realize it’s all the same and most of it never comes together in a meaningful way. Laser obstacles will appear in random, pointless places and it’s all pretty obviously randomized at times. In Returnal you need to spend hours prepping for a boss battle, finding items and artifacts that will give you a better chance, and then it’s most likely you die and have to start all over from the beginning. The more of the world you unlock, the longer it takes to try again. I eventually made it past the first couple of bosses, but when I died a few times of on the third (and some on my way there) I gave up. I spend all day hard at work– that is a challenge. Being a dad is a challenge. I don’t need this repetitive, time wasting challenge on my PS5. I feel like this was mostly a waste of money. I’ve decided I’m not buying another game like it.

    When you have a limited amount of time to play games for the weekends, this is not something you want to play as Returnal is designed to be really redundant and time consuming as they force you to restart everytime you die in the game.

    Alas this game is just stupid. Here, contrary to the Souls-like games I enjoy so much : you die, you restart basically everything : no leveling, no keeping weapons, no nothing.

    Basically you get your gun, your ugly-ass face and a couple of "artifacts" you grabbed during a previous suicide run.

    I don't mind the fast-action shooter that looks taken from an old shoot-them-up, that's my style, but it gets repetitive quick. As for the level generation, I already know every room they glue together by heart.

    First thing I don't like : there is no feel of progression, even if there is some (hidden and minor).

    Second thing : every time you start, at some point you loot different weapons and some are just not a good match so, like in every other badly designed rogue : you suicide and restart if the first thing you find is garbage, hoping for a better draw.

    Third thing : I've just encountered the boss, managed to get it down to another phase but then got killed (no health available, no ship healing like before they stupidly nerfed it : bad luck)
    I die and naturally, I'm back in another instance with basically nothing to show for my "work".
    Do I want to go through all that to take another shot? Killing my character if I get another bad draw?
    Hell no! I've seen more than enough.

    The worst though, is that the game innovates in design stupidity : you cannot stop the console nor play another game until you reach some point about 6 hours in. I'm not a child with ample time on my hands and I like diversity. This is already pretty much a deal breaker, alas it was too late for me when I learned about this.

    Unless you have ample time, love wasting your time and are prepared to only play that game for a long while, just dodge this bullet.
    It's just not fun.

    Maybe try it when it becomes free or something, then be glad you haven't wasted $70 on this, only a few hours you'll never get back.    … Expand

    Because with each and every update, this game gets even WORSE! The developers are some real major trolls. Instead of making the game easier and add some quality of life features (like the ability to have checkpoints and saves), they not only keep those out, but make the game HARDER with every update! Enemies are made harder, your weapons get weaker with every update, and even the healing mechanics get worse in every update. Basically with every update, the game gets more and more unplayable to the point people like myself have started to quit and realized we wasted $80 on this piece of trash. This along with Cyberpunk 2077 should be prime example of why reviews on major websites NEED to be updated with their scores changed once major updates come out that dramatically change gameplay. They intentionally kept the game at a reasonable level until it was reviewed and already sold to customers before they started stripping the game of those features and improvements and made it worse like the trolling sadomasochists they are at HouseMarque.

    I’m willing to bet, especially with the latest update which as of press time is 1.4.0, that if the current state of this game is what was reviewed back in April, it would’ve gotten a bad or mediocre score and since they were banking on this being their first major retail game, they needed all the help they could get to the point that they even implemented a feature that allowed you to plug a USB keyboard in and spawn weapons, transfer you back to the ship without restarting the current seed, and also sleeping in the ship healed you completely and could be done as many times as needed. No doubt the reviewers used these tools to speed through the game and gave it a high score based on the points I mentioned at the start of the review. This game was a fraud right from the start. It’s sad too because this could’ve really been something but instead because of the cockiness and attitudes of the developers, it’s just a pile of trash that isn’t even worth $20 much less $70-80. I bought the Digital Deluxe Version and honestly I feel cheated. If you are considering this game even after all this, I urge you to buy something else.

Souls games are made up of ever changing and meticulously crafted worlds full of lore and secrets that beg to be explored. In Returnal you have 12 billion variations on the same 4 rooms. Literally. It gets unbelievably boring with every 2-4 hour slog and you wonder how they got away with ramping up the difficulty so high on a game with so little variety to offer. It's very arcadey. Yet despite this arcadey simplicity, it has the gall to also demand everything and then some from it's players. It demands so much more than something like Dark Souls or even other Rogue likes, yet what you're receiving in return is really a little too simple when you strip away the next gen graphics and haptic feedback.
    So to the creators of Returnal, I say you should be very proud of yourself for making a really cool game. But I also encourage you to find some humility, because it's not THAT cool. Not cool enough to warrant it's teeth shattering frustrations, anyway. Very disappointing.    … Expand

I like the nature of this rogue-lite, the graphics and boss design are insane and the sound design is superb. For me it is no 10/10 because the permanent progression feels too weak in comparison to genre contenders and the missing auto-save via save and quit is unacceptable. It is not about being able to save, but having to turn off auto-updates and place it into rest mode to persist your game is absolutely off for such an expensive game.

    I am still the opinion that 79€ is too much for this game, although it is a great game that will have you on the hook between 15 to 80 hrs depending on your skill level and whether you want to go for optional stuff. I would definitely recommend this game if you are familiar with fast paced rogue games, shooter and/or bullet-hell games. If this is not your dish then this game will probably drive you nuts. Also I would suggest to get it on a price drop for 10-15%. The game is great but still slightly overpriced in my opinion. Enjoy this great PS5 exclusive!    … Expand

    Много раз хотел забросить игру но, после победы над очередным боссом понял, что мне все под силу) Шикарная игра, графика, звук и тд. Не умеете играть, не засирайте игру)

    Después de algo más de 10 horas jugando, puedo decir que es un buen videojuego. Lo compré de salida por 59'99€ y me parece una buena compra.

    El juego plantea un verdadero reto y está enfocado para echarle buenos ratos de por lo menos un par de horas, ya que cada game over nos llevará a empezar desde -prácticamente- el principio del juego una y otra vez.

    Aunque no me declaro buenísimo jugando ni amante de los Souls like, he de decir que el juego presenta una dificultad alarmante pero que me ha resultado igualmente divertido, y aunque alguna vez te lleva a perder los estribos, el juego se deja jugar y pesonalmente lo estoy disfrutando.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent sur quasiment tous ces aspects. Pour moi le seule gros problème c'est que quand tu ferme l'application, tu dois recommencer la boucle à zéro la prochaine fois que tu rejoue, plutôt que de te remettre la ou tu t'es arrêté.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Easily one of the best games I've ever played. It's very immersive and fun. The controls are amazing, graphics are great, story is good, music is outstanding. The 4th boss you fight (one playing the piano, or w/e) is one of the best boss fights in any game I've ever played. Just incredible.… Expand

    A perfect example of the performance of the PS5 and all its functions. Great gameplay and the music catches and won't let go until you get to the bottom of it all. But in the end, the final may surprise you unpleasantly.

    An unobvious reinforcement of PlayStation’s range of exclusives. You can love Returnal, you can hate it, the feelings can even be simultaneous. Even though it’s tough love, there’s something about this game that makes you scream into a pillow and then try again. And again. And again. [07/2021, p.44]

    Returnal has everything you’d expect from an exclusive that comes early in a console’s life-cycle. It shows off everything PS5 has to offer, while delivering a solid roguelike experience. [Issue#254, p.54]
