I fun shooter that tells the story of ???????????????. Dodge and weave.
I hated this game in the begining because it was too hard for me and surprisingly it would run like trash, crashed my pc often. I decided it was too hard and would only play it co-op with a friend. When we found the time we would try do a stage and I dumbed my pc down from ulta to medium with some elements on high. After 3 biodomes I became really invested in the story and the game. I finshed the game with my friend. He didnt want to grind for the true ending so I played it solo and found the game to be alot easier. The reason being is the resources are shared when playing co-op and you dont get hit by enemy bullets or rings that are after your friend because in solo, everything happens infront of you. After the 3rd biodome, you unlock an endless tower that follows the conventional roguelike rules (i.e Do a floor, get a reward. Rinse And Repeat till you get a boss at floor 20. Fight the boss. Get a permenant reward and carry on). I found that to be alot more enjoyable as that stages are quick and straight forward. After completing the true ending I started to grind for 100% completion. The problem is, certain glyphs are found in specific rooms and because the map is randomly generated, you might never see that room spawn. There are 277 randomized rooms and even though I have defeated all the bosses solo 11 times now and did the tower over 20 times I still havent seen 11 rooms because they won't spawn. So in short; Run the game on medium or high if you are having problems. Use a friend to get past the first 3 bosses and unlock the towermode. Then play it on your own. The gameplay is quick, fun and chaotic. The story is short and sweet. As everything is a metaphor for whats actually going on, the ending leaves answers open to interpretation. Graphics and sound good when not on ultra. As a whole 7/10 and a must play.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 28: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Returnal is a great game. It can be challenging but it is extremely fun. Great graphics, gameplay is butter smooth and the audio is top notch. Highly recommend Returnal if you are looking for a challenging and very fun game.

This game completely blew me away. I dreamt about it the first night and it consumed my waking thoughts for an entire week. Just an incredible package (story, gameplay, visuals, music). The boss battles are incredible (there's one in particular that is truly among the best gaming experiences I've ever had, the kind you don't want to end, and will happily replay over and over, you'll know when you come across it). Don't be discouraged by the initial challenge of the game, expecially if playing with a controller, the game definitely becomes easier with practice and as you unlock weapon perks (they make a big difference). The first biome in any run is always the hardest but then your power snowballs from there. Apparently the game is a lot easier with kb&m but it was designed with controller in mind so thats how I played it. No issues running it on my 3080 and 5060x. I absolutely recommend this one if you're on the fence.
Cool game. Shooters are not my usual genre, but I enjoy rogue likes and the action sequences in this game are dope.
То как игра наказывает за ошибку под конец игры это просто финита ля комедия. Три сложных пути испытания, до которых ещё нужно дойти без потерь умудриться. Игра 10 сосаний жоп из десяти, должна быть у каждого уважающего себя рогаликовода. Ну а давайте поставим на перезарядку миниигру, чтоб у игрока развилось косоглазие пока он одновременно пытается увернуться от всего говна, что летит на него и попасть в тайминг зарядки уе. ** А давайте сделаем чтоб какие то хилки просто хилили, а какие-то ничего не делали, кроме как заполняли шкалу прочности костюма и причем визуально это было не отличить, чтобы игрок пытаясь выжить пробивался к ним и сосал жопу получив вместо хила повышение хп на единицу прочности костюма, а чтоб жизнь мёдом не казалась сделаем так, чтоб на миникарте не было понятно проклята хилка или нет. О о а давайте еще сделаем оружие, которые после каждого выстрела заставляет играть в мини игры попади в тайминг перезарядки, а потом добавим возможность увеличить количество выстрелов до двух, чтоб если игрок приноровился к таймингу, тайминг рвался и игроку приходилось бы переучиваться при этом сделаем так, чтоб шанс, что эта же пушка выпадет в следующий раз сделаем минимальный, чтоб собака не расслаблялся и учился блэт пользоваться всем, оружием, а то чего он. Ну и конечно же сделаем, чтобы после сложных арен хилок впринципе не было, в нашей игре казуалам не рады, пускай сразу видят где их петушиный угол
!!!Introspection macabre!!! Il y a très peux de jeux qui ressemble à Returnal, Nér'ud dans Remnant 2 qui s'en inspire peut-être ou Soma pour l'ambiance. Le parcoure de plusieurs lieux déroutants, les intrigantes créatures croisés qui nous offres des affrontements de plus en plus tendu au fur et à mesure qu'on progresse dans ces lieux presque cauchemardesques. L'explosion musicale mélancolique qui favorise cette ambiance de nuit traumatique et ces rencontres de boss monstrueux de souvenirs engloutis. Les boss justement au design très particulier qui ponctuent l'aventure de manière grandiose, ils ont chacun un nom, une musique, une signification obscure, les combats sont très réussi ! En particulier Hyperion ! Scénar et mise en scène cryptique, on fini quand même par comprendre certaine chose avec la vrai fin, sans oublier l'Ascension de la tour de Sisyphe qui apporte encore des éléments convergents. Le gameplay nerveux calibré pour une action frénétique qui donne envie de persévérer encore et encore malgré une progression en 3 actes un peu étrange, rester constamment en mouvement sera votre meilleur protection ! Si vous ne connaissais pas encore cette univers d'introspection macabre, laissez vous tentez !!! J'espère qu'ils pourront continuer à développer d'autre jeux cosmique après Saros !
I played this game on my old PC, and it ran like a charm. Considering how good the game looks and how fast-paced the gameplay is, I never had any issues with FPS drops or performance problems. That said, this is probably the best third-person shooter roguelite ever made. The level of polish is insane, and even though PlayStation is behind it—which can sometimes be a disadvantage when it comes to PC releases—this game turned out fantastic. Everything just works. The enemies, story, characters, weapons, movement, music, and the overall horror atmosphere are all top-notch. I genuinely enjoyed every second of it and can't think of a single bad thing to say. The funny thing is that I went into it completely blind. I picked it up on sale without knowing much about it, and that turned out to be one of the best gaming decisions I've made. If you enjoy fast-paced shooters that feel like interactive art projects, don't think twice. Once you start playing, you'll understand why so many people consider this game a masterpiece.
Returnal will go down as one of the all-time greats of the 2020's. Gameplay, atmosphere, sound design and thematic elements are all chef's kiss. Only issue is the slightly buggy multiplayer -especially against the boss Nemesis in Biome 3. This glitch has been around since the original DLC dropped and has not, to this day (May 26), been resolved. But otherwise, Returnal is an absolute must-play.
