Ok, so what even isReturnal?
Then my review code came in and Ive been obsessed ever since.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Its almost likeReturnalis tailor-made for me.
Its an insanely challenging third-person shooter with roguelike elements.
ThinkHadeswith a AAA budget.
Returnalstarts off with the main character, Selene, crashing her spaceship on an alien planet.
Though tough as nails,Returnalplays like a dream.
It runs at a buttery-smooth 60 frames per second and the controls feel great.
High risk, high reward is whatReturnalwhat excels at.
You die very quickly, but you gain power-ups and bonuses just as easily.
This design philosophy shines in the games Adrenaline system.
As you kill enemies without taking damage, your adrenaline level rises.
The flipside is thatReturnalfeels amazing when youre doing well.
The world is procedurally generated, so you wont get the same layout twice in a row.
That being said,Returnalwill still kick your ass a thousand times before you kick off making significant progress.
Returnallooks, sounds, and plays exactly like I want it to.
Its the big-budget PS5-exclusive roguelike I never dreamed of getting.
I still find it very hard to recommend to anyone who isnt invested in the genre.
