Something very very unique among triple A titles, if you like shooting and wee bit of horror this is it.

OMG the best Sci-fi plus a bit of horror game ever play. It is impressive overall.

Returnal is an arthouse blockbuster, both a technical marvel that fully showcases every aspect of the PS5 that makes it features absolutely sing while providing a bold choice of structure, narrative twists and other leftfield moments that embrace the new weird. It’s also uncompromisingly tough as nails, which might scare off a more mainstream audience. But this is a game that doesn’t do half-measures on either its gameplay or as a truly next-gen exclusive that you won’t find anywhere else. Let its tentacles embrace you and by the time you come out the other side bruised and battered from your infinite battles, you won’t want to let go of it either.

Showcases every unique feature of PS5 to its fullest; Brilliant combination of bullet-hell shooting, exploration and roguelike; Epic memorable (and tough) bosses; Constantly surprising with its story and structure;

Frighteningly difficult at first; Some runs can be down to luck;

Incredibly hard rogue like game with amazing graphics, atmospheric 3D audio and very addictive gameplay. Get ready to write off a large chunk of your time!

My bf ignored me for a week to play that game. So it must have been good :/

A deadly alien planet is a playground for your senses and curiosity.

The core gameplay loop is definitely not for everyone but the rewards for persisting are well worth pursuing here. The gunplay and movement feels absolutely divine and the “one more run” approach to the gameplay is certainly addictive and unique amongst larger budgeted titles.

Returnal puts its own stamp on the roguelike genre, blending ever-changing levels and permadeath with an intense third-person shooter experience. While players are often at the mercy of Returnal’s unpredictability – for better or worse – the immersive storytelling and the utilization of Sony’s latest hardware makes it feel like a true PS5 exclusive.

DualSense support is subtle but effective; Sounds amazing with headphones; Seamless loading times; Immersive storytelling; Environment changes keep gameplay fresh;

Few persistent upgrades; Runs can feel needlessly long; Combat can feel repetitive
