    Until there is still serious trophy glitches, this game only worth 0 points.

    Creo que puedo decir sin duda a equivocarme, que es el peor juego que jamás he podido probar. No compréis esta mierda, haceos un favor.

    Grafik olarak oyunun kötü veya eksik bir yanı yok. Hikaye heyecan verici fakat hikayenin anlatımı bana göre çok kötü kesinlikle yeni nesil bir oyun diyemem. Roguelike tarzında bir oyun sunmaları bence hikayeyi böyle anlatmak istediklerinden değil daha çok oyunun oynanış süresini uzatmak istemeleri. Beğenenlere saygım sonsuz fakat bence 620 tl verip zamanınızı boşa harcamayın. TavsiyeGrafik olarak oyunun kötü veya eksik bir yanı yok.

    Эксперимент не удался... Игра однообразна. Cкучный лэвлдизайн, однотипные локации, и отвратительные спецэффекты.

    Minor, very minor spoilers I think about 1/2 down in my review.

    Here's the problem. This game is fabulous for about 2-3 hours. It's NEAT. I get the concept but I'm not into playing Dark Souls or Bloodbourne or Elden Ring or any Souls clones anymore. They are tiring and I still have the new Demon's Souls to try and grind through. They are a dead, beat horse. I'm glad this was free as part of my PSN plus package. Would have been severely mad at myself if I paid for this game. The first time I died I could tell it was to advance the story line; had no chance to beat the red beast thing. After that I died a couple of more times getting the hang of the game. After the 4th death the game got significantly harder for no apparent reason other than I was progressing along in the map finding and some of the story items. Then after about 2 hours I had a good base down and I cleared the entire map and move from objective point to objective point to the boss. SPOILERS. I found the machine that takes 6 ether and paid the cost. After I stepped inside, I had no idea what just happened. My hands were sweating thinking if I just died, I would quit the game. I did not die but I also did not know what happened until a little later. I was using a great pistol but only level 1 because one it was shooing 4-5 homing projectiles per shot and two it had the green alt-fire projectiles which packed a real punch. I really did not find a better weapon this run thru. My fav is the rifle though. The pistol worked well until the boss where it did not have much effect. I was able to get the boss down one full bar and 7/8 of the second bar before getting killed. All the Sudden I was born again at the machine that took 6 ether and I was like heck yeah so I ran for the boss immediately. This time I was better at dodging I felt but he mowed me down before I even got one of his life bars gone. I'm feeling like the game made it harder yet again and each hit I did take was packing more damage. After I died I thought I would go back to machine kind of like Bloodbourne lets you shortcut to the boss that keeps beating you....but no. Back to the crash cut scene and starting all over again. I played for 10 minutes, read an online review that someone played for 20 hours and only go the boss twice and died and I was thinking this is probably like Infinity Blade and I'm not about to level up 56,734 times to beat the God King. It was fun for the 3ish hours I played. I quit and deleted it. Thank you PSN for making this game free as part of my package because I'm 99 percent sure i won't play it again unless they add a save feature.    … Expand

    GOATED OST. Many people sleep on this game but it's dope. Surprisingly well crafted, and it's clear the developers actually play game. Only issues are QOL issues.

    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]
