RNG around every aspect makes for a **** time when you're trying to accomplish a goal. Nerf drones. & I do not recommend. I platinumed this game, so it's not absolutely terrible. Design choices just create way too much frustration. Very small player-base that will actually enjoy this game. So many reviews are made without taking a good deal of time to play.… Expand

    Waste of time. Very repetitive, combat is boring and shallow. Without checkpoints you spend 80% of your time shooting basic monsters with a starting weapon hoping the rRNG will finally give you a normal weapon in the next random room to go make another try on the boss.

    I'll try to keep it brief: to me, a videogame must provide fun, not angry. It's not difficult to reward all players (poor, good, great, pros, etc) and is to let the player choose his own level, like in any other recreational activities. In this game, the developers have deliberately chosen to prize only the best players but they have happily taken the money from the others as well.

    No save feature on a game with multiple hour runs. Ps5 crashes and lose your progress. A patch that deleted your entire hard save. HMQ is the most brain dead studio how they could launch this game without save features is baffling. They expect you to use rest mode as your save and hijack your console. Avoid at all costs

    Overrated. The game brings nothing new. It's just a combination of Doom, Alien, God of War and movie Edge of Tomorrow. It's awfully repetitive and boring. Zero story. Very simple difficulty (death means nothing in this game). Enemy attacks still the same and like from some bad mobile game.

    I played and finished Elden Ring and Demon's Souls recently and although they very frustrating at times, you could still make good progress in them and enjoy that progress. This game is less frustrating as you won't die easily from one/two hits, but when you die multiple times at the first boss, you quickly lose interest in spending another hour to get back to it every time.    … Expand

Had I known this was one of those games when I was deciding whether or not to buy it, I certainly wouldn’t have bought it, but I pre-ordered it, thinking it was more like Prey or something with checkpoints and saves. It is absolutely not, almost everything is completely lost when you die, and after 20 hours of play, I’ve fought the first boss 3 times, and haven’t even gotten 2/3 of the way through beating him. Between each of these were hours of repetitive beatings in the randomly generated dungeons, wherein I was beat to death by random monster things and didn’t even make it to the boss fight for which I was trying to prepare. This is in no way enjoyable to me. If there was an easy mode I would turn it on immediately. If I could save the game after preparing sufficiently to have a chance against the boss, I might actually win that fight with the first boss after a few dozen attempts. But as it is, I’m likely to stop playing this game out of frustration before even beating the first boss, and count my $73 as a very bad decision.… Expand

    MAny people already lost their saves because of a bugged patch, many trophies are bugged and wont pop.
    It feels like devs arent testing games anymore and especially patches anymore...same problem was with outriders where a patch just completely destroyed your character and you had, like herem start all over...cyberpunk...its just so sad...i miss the old days where we had no internet and devs actually HAD to release a working title because there was no way to patch them...no players are the testers...i guess i wont buy games day1 anymore and just wait until the beta-testers aka players make the games playable    … Expand

It feels great to play and traversing areas is fluid and fast. The issues lie at the core structure of the game. Death as a mechanic is not new but it's not something anyone can implement without horribly breaking a game completely. Returnal is very inept at this or does it on purpose. At first, dying time and time again feels meaningful, you keep some upgrades, you retain lore entries and also some auxiliary equipment, however you keep nothing that would remotely give you an edge over a failed run. The alt fire should be a stock feature and the atropian blade only helps you uncover rooms with health pickups. Using it on enemies is almost suicidal. Aside from that, all is lost and you're tossed right at the beginning of the game. every death is a full restart. The closed loop is a cool sci fi horror staple but it needs to be built around some passive progression. Returnal only makes it harder and harder for you to advance closer to the goal. After getting all permanent equipment, restarts grow exponentially more challenging, with instances of a dozen of enemies spawning in the very first room, at this point you have a pistol and a glorified grass cutter. You'll begin to die more and more often than before and deaths will lose all meaning very quickly.
    No matter how used you are to fighting generic tentacle enemy #5, you can only do so much with basic gear against a horde of them. Some enemies will fold you in 2 good hits, and any human error which happens to the very best players will be severely punished and completely doom a good run.
    Health pickups are abundant but do little against waves of enemies that grow more and more in volume as you advance. Bosses are not easy either and pretty much the bulk of failed runs lies at their feet. Dying on the first area is bearable and you can catch up relatively quickly, but dying close to the end is pretty much an insult. The only thing that can put you on the winning path is either finding the most precise and optimal loadout of weapons, health augments and parasites OR endlessly repeat cycles till you pretty much memorize every enemy type pattern to a T.
    As a working adult, I don't have that kind of time. If you get the best weapon early on and a rare as **** type of parasite which prevents death, sort of, then you're set for a good portion of the game. The last stretch is a nightmare, no matter how well equipped you are though.
    In summation, you need to clear this game in a single run, with no save data, no passive progress, no checkpoints, random weapons with random stats, random parasites, random level enemies and very challenging bosses. Every death drops you right at the beginning with absolutely nothing carrying over besides mundane equipment that only helps open new areas and gives no extra advantage.

    TLDR; ever played DOOM 16 on ultra nightmare or Dead Space 2 on Hardcore difficulty? This game is like that. You must know the game and its mechanics by heart and invest ungodly amounts of time on it. It will demand everything from you and give absolutely nothing in return. Not even a good story and/or ending. Avoid.    … Expand

You can either restart from the first biome once and again, or go to the third with a gun and a short life bar, and due to a really poor and randomized level design, after the first door huge enemies will destroy you most of the times. It becomes tedious because at that point there is not new learning, nor new abilities unlocked.

    Furthermore, the weapons you can unlock at the final stages of the game are worse than the first ones, which doesn't make any sense in my opinion. You probably will end up with a simple gun hoping to get a better weapon that most of the times won't show up. I know that getting that final solar fragment will be only a matter of time, but it could have been a much more pleasant experience, without lowering the difficulty, just with a better level design and a more logic weapon and ability increase through the game.

    Interaction, weapons, story, visuals, are all great. But this game is a 1 in my book because they just throw everything at you all at once no matter what stage you're in. It only causes irritation, aggravation, rage, etc. from playing it. The little joy in playing is quickly erased by it's ridiculous enemy spawning.

Cometi o erro de fazer um upload do save sem suspender o ciclo, por esquecimento, no último bioma do jogo, e fui jogado de volta para o quarto bioma, perdendo quase todas as melhorias da personagem.

It was difficult but not overwhelmingly so and I loved the atmosphere. I died a few times in the first biome and it took me a few attempts to defeat the first boss after reaching it. The same was true of the second biome and its boss.

    Upon reaching the third biome, the difficulty escalated and I was simply unable to reach the boss of that area with enough health and resources to defeat it, even after several attempts.

    Then the patches started being released. I never lost my overall progress but without the option to heal at the ship I was unable to build up enough integrity to sustain me through longer runs. I was having to reset the game nearly every other run due to doors that wouldn’t open. More difficult enemies from longer runs began appearing en masse in the very first rooms. Now, I could barely survive the first biome long enough to collect a few artifacts and increase my integrity before moving onto biome 3 and I was surely dead not long after arriving there.

    The more I played, the less I enjoyed the game. I began making fewer runs each time I played and skipped playing entirely on some days. Shortly, I found myself starting the game up and then shutting it down just a room or two into the first biome. Every time my adrenaline reset or I sustained heavy damage it just felt entirely pointless. Finally, I just deleted the game.

    I’ve enjoyed most of Housemarque’s other games but I’m afraid that after spending $80 on Returnal they’ve lost me as a customer. I’m not a stranger to difficult games and there are some that I was unable to finish but still enjoyed my time with (including Housemarque’s own Outland). Sadly, Returnal’s design seems antagonistic and disrespectful to me. It demands much of the player in terms of skill, focus, and commitment in regard to length of runs and the need to leave the game active while in rest mode. In return, it does nothing to encourage a struggling player to persevere.

    It’s not enough for a developer to tell the audience that their game is difficult when that’s both relative and highly subjective. Returnal goes beyond being challenging by disregarding the player’s time and need to use their console for other activities in addition to punishing design. Returnal should have had a demo prior to release so that players could gauge their interest prior to spending a minimum of $70 on it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The idea is great in theory, but I always am a little suspicious about games that try to span genres.

    Returnal is a “roguelite, bullet-hell, platformer, third person shooter” and herein lies the problem, Returnal is not quite capable of delivering on any of the aforementioned categories and just falls flat.

    There are good moments in the game, but few and far between, the gameplay is decent sometimes stelar, but the RNG mechanic is not at all thought out just like other core mechanics in this game that seem to be an afterthought.

    Let’s break it down first by genre, as a roguelite Returnal fails miserably. While other rogue games understand that death means progress in Returnal death just means you spawning at the crash site with little to show for it. There are “permanent” upgrades but are inconsequential, like 4% damage for a particular weapon that just doesn’t translate at all in the game. The bullet hell aspect of the game works as in it works to prove how unfair the game is. Bullet hell games are usually top down for a very particular reason, so that one has the arena/level in full view and can dodge projectiles coming from behind the player, in a 3rd person setting this just doesn’t work. You will be blasted by enemies that are off screen, you have a reticule that shows when you are attacked form a specific direction, but the UI and graphical effects are cluttered, more on this later, and so most of the times you will loose life with no fault of your own. As a platformer, Returnal is just frustrating to say the least, in the 1st and 4th biomes traversing sometimes is a chore, the jump peaks to early and you will fail to land on a platform. With time some might get used to it, but during a battle dodging, jumping and generally attempting to not get hit will result in you falling of a ledge. As a 3rd person shooter Returnal is passable sometimes good, but having to cary only one weapon without being able to choose which one you want is just obtuse. Keep in mind that out of the 10 available weapons maybe 3 are good and most of them will be unlocked in late game. The shooting is fun, precise but lacks a punch, you feel like you are using a pea shooter while your enemies always have a nuclear option. The UI is cluttered especially when obtaining more than one malfunction, the Adrenaline meter charges with a bright red flash akin to when taking damage, so some time you get unfocused by it.

    The enemy AI seem to see through walls and sometimes even shot through them, but don’t try to emulate them, it doesn’t work.

    The risk reward system is just broken, I’ve found maybe 2 parasites that are worth it, malignant chest should never be opened as the risk outweighs the reward tenfold and the malignant keys are just there to force you to open a chest or door that never seem to ofer a decent reward. RNG - while I have a personal problem with this mechanic, some games make it work. This is not the case with Returnal. The feeling I got was that the devs were either lazy or just didn’t care enough to find a better way to deliver artefacts, consumables of weapons. Did Returnal have to be a roguelite? Unfortunately not, no value was added by this mechanic. Did Returnal had to be this hard? Well yes and no, yes because you could not justify the price tag for a game that without the difficulty curve would last maybe 5 hours at most. No, because it just feels like padding.

    All in all I appreciate an experiment and I like the fact that Sony were willing to invest in Housemarque, but Returnal fails at the first tenant of game design, the game should be for the users and not the developers.

    I’m not touching the story, I personally feel it was shallow and just didn’t make sense. You are never sure what happens in the game even after finishing all 6 biomes (which by the way are only 3, that repeat with slight variations that actually don’t matter). Filling in gaps isn’t storytelling, it’s a excuse for lazy writing. The conclusion is that Returnal is an exercise in futility, good graphics cannot save a game that is bland.    … Expand

    2) No ability to save and quit to resume your session later is crippling. Want to play anything else in the middle of your 3 hour run? Sorry no dice! You get to play Returnal and then later some Returnal.

    3) It really feels like this game was rushed out the door with balance being the last thing considered. Areas 1-3? Felt great balance wise. If you took your time and were careful: you'd overcome any room. Areas 4-6? Sorry pal the very first room will have 8+ enemies for your starter pistol to shoot also area 5 enemies will do 1/4th your life every hit lmao (we had to do this so you'd remember it's a roguelite). It just comes across as cheap and obnoxious more than anything else.

    4) As stated before: this game wasn't ready for 1.0(.) Close, but not ready. The amount of bugs with the terrain has been unreal, including some critical errors of FALLING THROUGH THE WORLD, landing on an object in space, and essentially destroying the run because the world forgot to load in. Unbelievably I've had this happen multiple times now.

    Look all the points above were negative. I get that, but I honestly have a lot of hope for this title. It oozes potential and atmosphere. In a year it might be in a state to purchase, but for a $70 (plus tax) product: it's too buggy and imbalanced to touch. If you HAVE to play it now: rent or Gamefly it.

    No puede ser que un videojuego que te fuerza a estar varias horas sin guardar de repente tenga un error aleatorio y tu partida al carajo: ES UN EXCLUSIVO DE PS5, NO DEBE TENER ERRORES. Sería más comprensible si lo hubieran hecho compatible con 5 consolas a la vez, pero Dios mío, es UNA. 80 euros de precio estándar y dónde está el departamento de QA de este juego? No se le ve.

    Va muy rápido (y eso está bien) y los gráficos son espectaculares. Al final es bastante repetitivo, quizá mi mente estúpida no sea capaz de abarcar la grandeza del juego, considero que no merece lo que cuesta.    … Expand

    If I knew this will be another soul-like game I’d never buy it. Dozens of hours spent for nothing. I’m not a hardcore player, just like enjoying the game. Wish this monsters added some kind of difficulty change possibility. Guys if you care about your mental health don’t buy it.

    I was really excited for this game but after purchasing it on launch day I am very disappointed. The game is visually great but the game play is horrible. Every time you die you start the game over from the beginning, there are few way to refill your health meter, the item and weapon drops are random, and the game environments change every time you die.

    Menos que un indie, pero a precio de AAA, no vale la pena sobre todo por la gran cantidad de fallas de lanzamiento. Es posible que cuando lo corrijan y bajen el precio a uno acorde a su calidad, sea una buena opción, mientras tanto no lo es

There are a lot of people out there who like rogue-like games, whether its Dead Cells or Lost Castle; that being said this game suffers the same problem those games do. After the first several hours of playing it your having fun. But when you get to a certain part in the game where you just can't get past even after taking hours and hours before fighting a boss to progress is only met with failure and no do-over's makes it really lose its appeal for fun. That being said, the story and the atmosphere and gameplay and level design are all really well done not to mention the visual's. All the other parts of the game are amazing. I have played games like Sekiro, all the Darks souls games, Devil May Cry all of them hardest difficulty as well as Ninja Gaiden Black on hard, the original God of War on the hardest difficulty. I couldn't even get through the 2nd boss fight of this game. Due to the fact I got tired of restarting from the beginning. There are buffs and even an extra life you can get as well as healing items. But when a boss can basically 2-shot you it makes all the hard work you did before mean nothing I don't really see myself wanting to continue that loop. So in closing I will say this. This game has a very steep curve for difficulty, and unless you are extremely patient with restarting over and over again and have a very high skill level and you like rogue-like games, then this game is for you. If not don't buy it, rent it or wait till it comes down in price or the developers add a mode for people who don't prefer the rogue-like element. Like I said the story and game design and gameplay are all incredible. The rogue-like element is just not for me.… Expand

    Returnal is a super aggravating rougelike with great combat and an interesting story. But the lack of any save feature makes the game almost unplayable. Updates, restarts, powerless, pretty much anything will cause you to loose all your progress and be reset back to the beginning. I would not recommend this game at all until they address this issue.

    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]
