Returnal – PlayStation 5

This game is *HARD*, but not “Unfair”
It seems like many of the reviews of this game either didn’t reach the first boss or didn’t beat it. This game is just a downright masterpiece.The game does in fact have a type of checkpoint system in place, people telling you their runs are lasting over an hour, no offense, aren’t playing the game right or are getting God Runs without realizing it. I haven’t had a run go over 45 minutes unless I have beaten several bosses in a row, and that’s on the long end of it. For example, your first mission is to find a key, that’s it. Once you find that key you no longer have to find it on subsequent runs, it is automatically in your inventory. From that point you can go straight to the first boss of the game after about 10 mins or so on every run after you find the key. Once you beat the boss, you unlock the next area, and the same type of checkpoint system applies. Once you beat the first boss you do not have to beat it again on every run after the winning run, you can go back to fight the boss if you CHOOSE to, otherwise you can skip it and go immediately to area two. This pattern applies to the rest of the game as well. Yes, dying after a longer run can be frustrating, but you have to know that you are making progress, sometimes it’s just hard to see.Now onto the actual review of the game.The sound design, visuals and gunplay feel spot on. Most important of all of these is the sound design, what enemies are in a given area, where they are in that area, the game gives all of that information to you through sound alone. The visuals… I mean, it’s a game running at 4k 60fps, it’s gonna look good. The enemy designs are all a work of art each in their own right, especially some of the bosses (No spoilers). Gunplay is quick and snappy with tons of depth to each weapon. Do I like all the weapons? No, but that’s because of my personal playstyle, people will find the weapons they like and use them more than others.The name of the game is movement, enemies are relentless in their pursuit of your demise, so it’s very important to move constantly and create space between you and your attackers. The further you go into the game the more abilities you unlock to avoid incoming projectiles. Speaking of projectiles… There is a TON of them coming at you. Housemarque is known for their Bullet storm games and this game is no exception. The longer you have to react to incoming attacks, the less likely you’ll get hit.Overall, this game is absolutely fantastic, is it more of a niche title than say Uncharted or God of War? Yes, absolutely. But if you’re willing to push past that first initial wall of the first area and reach the first checkpoint, you’ll never want to put the game down.

Excelente. Entrega rapida e até antes do tempo estipulado.

El juego a mí me gustó mucho. La curva de aprendizaje es empinada, pero una vez en la cima es muy divertido. Después de jugar quién sabe cuántas horas y haber conseguido el platino, sinceramente creo que el primer bioma es el más difícil. La historia es intrincada y un poco perturbadora. La mezcla de audio está increíble; el audio es realmente importante, desde el poder identificar dónde hay enemigos, hasta la atmósfera creada por la música. Hay momentos en los que la música me recuerda blade runner de 1982. Ahora hay modo cooperativo que funciona muy bien, aunque aumenta la dificultad del juego. Y también la expansión la torre de Sísifo(a uno no le queda más adorar el juego debido a la simbología). Tal vez el juego del ps5 que más he disfrutado.El servicio, como siempre, excelente. ¡Saludos! ✌🏼

Esse jogo é muito divertido! Se você gosta desse estilo morre volta tudo de novo, e adora uma midia física, é pra você!
