Ever wondered what a roguelite game with a AAA budget and development studio would be like? Well this week our episode on Returnal is your answer!
Winner of 4 BAFTAs including 2022's game of the year award, it's a visual and storytelling powerhouse. But what mysteries does this alien planet hide and why is there a mysterious human farm house here?
#Returnal is, simply put, a damn masterpiece. And it's not for its great gfx powered by #UE4, nor for the superb soundtrack. No, it's cos of the various gameplay mechanics you make acquaintance with little by little, as you die and live again, from the beginning. All of them force you to make decisions that will deeply affect your fate. Somehow this punishing, fast paced #thirdperson#bullethell#metroidvania#roguelike mongrel manages to keep you glued to the screen till the very end. #gaming
Finally back home with a #PS5 again. All the games I missed are now included with #PSPlus so I’ll have quite a backlog. One reason I stopped playing my PS5 was the games were too expensive. Waiting a couple years solved that
#Chiaki also works great on #SteamDeck. I’m now debating whether to keep my #PlayStationPortal preorder. But it’ll have larger screen, 1080p (vs 720p), adaptive triggers and rumble.
Periodic meditation on how #Returnal#PS5 is truly superlative. Extremely talented people worked on this game. I’m so glad they got their four BAFTA’s for it.
@Shini92@the_white_wolf I was on the third boss and I thought that I was wasting time on this game. It is too hard and you have to start from the beginning every time. To punishing
@greenvahn I don’t know, I swear this PC version is harder than the PS5 original. I clocked it there, including the real ending, when it first came out and before we could suspend and quit.
Maybe I’m just older now, but I swear it’s harder 😅
I don’t remember having much difficulty at all in the abyss on PS5 🤷♂️
