Returnal blends elements of shooters, roguelikes, action games, and horror to redefine bullet hell and conjure a mysterious, moody masterpiece.
After reviewing many roguelikes, Mike Epstein sometimes feels like he too is stuck in a loop that punishes his every mistake. He played Returnal for about 25 hours. Despite that, he will almost certainly be back for another run before too long. A review code for the game was provided by the publisher.

whyd they have to get the deaf guy to review it
Waiting for that price drop
good review, a game worth buying.
looking forward to Rage Quit videos for this game. heh
Do we finally have a female Gordon Freeman? 😀
They need to allow saving between runs…
Wow, seriously the spoilers are completely unnecessary at the end of the video. (stop at about 8mins if you dont want spoilers…)
Another top tier PS EXCLUSIVE.
I only have XSX currently, but will def snag a PS5 for these sweet exclusives.
I mean, I guess you have to play a game to fairly judge it, but just from the footage here, the bullet hell aspect just looks amazingly terrible.
Blobs and beams everywhere, total visual overkill, not appealing at all, especially in a game that is supposed to be atmospheric.
And regarding the review itself: If you're going to hire someone to read out loud your review – why not find someone who can actually declaim and clearly articulate a text?
You might as well just save yourself the effort and run the review through a speech synthesis program. I'm not trying to be mean to Mr. Hussain, but he talks as if he has a hot potato in his mouth.
Im just gonna come out and say it. As someone who speed runs games on the hardest difficulty this game looks very easy.
Why they choose an old woman for protagonist?
This looks really interesting, but I’m just not “good enough” for these dark souls inspired games with crazy high difficulty. When I was younger & had more time for games, I’d have been all over this, but at my skill level now? It’s mostly just frustrating for me to play stuff like this
Did not like it… therr is no sense of progression whatsoever… it becomes utterly repetitive, and the runs are too long… this game is for people who likes to shoot around again and again and again… it is hard, many will find that compelling… but it bore me, because you just have to go back and do all over again, even if the stages are procedural generated… rogue type games not my genre… has potential but it is too repetitive… and at last… the “perks” are always against you! It is like some form of saddistic game! Who plays games to make you feel powerless? Anyway… 70 USD is way too much for this… others may enjoy it, I did not!
Return to the urinal-Returnal! Those orbs remind me of Nier Automata… but hey, good luck finding a PS5! Thanks for the review…!
If the main character was atractive, I would had bought it.
This seems like a great game, but I have a feeling it's somewhat difficult. Nope. I'll pass. Can someone let me know their impressions of the difficulty level?
All we get now is generic first person game and soul like games. I’m tired of both
dang they really pushed that PS3 to the max!
Who is AL? Are we sure we want him back?
Why does 9.28 remind me of PT ???
2 years from now it will be in ps plus😀
This monotoned reviewer sapped any excitement I had right out of Returnal!
Great review
The narrator sounds so bored
really having fun with it! 80$ bucks at target with tax. yes I live in cali :/
I hear the sound is incredible.
Is this worth a download or wait for a physical copy? Best Buy screwed up and didn’t get the shipment. I got an unavailable email. Every store in my area is sold out. Should I wait or download?
This looks difficult
Housemarque have done a fabulous job with this game. It’s not easy but it’s SO good. Love it, and it looks amazing!
Cant wait to play this and then next Friday, resident evil 8 🔥🔥🔥
Series X, the best place to play OLD games.
Someone tell me why we have to pay 70 dollars for this game when it runs at 1080p?
Being a rogue-like kills it for me 😔.
This game makes me want to not returnal to work to tomorrow so I can play it more.
PS5's next game will probably just be named "Kallie Plagge" or "Lucy O'brien" to appease Gamespot, IGN. Days Gone 2, change dot org probably only needs another 50k signatures to get a sequel and a movie. I don't have to tell these YouTube channels, especially after some of their reviews of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the pressure of going against the mainstream femia. Playstation's CEO needs to hear from you !
Every game borrows from every game doofus. What doofus review. Why even say that? Must be a Xbox fanboy.
70 bucks for a 1080p game, yeah right.
