Returnal Reviews
Returnal transforms roguelike gameplay into a third-person shooter where players fight to survive a hostile planet that changes with every death. Players can switch instinctively between firing modes by using a single adaptive trigger and can get right back into the action after dying. PS5’s...

Returnal review
This PS5 port is a blast in the heat of battle, but feels trapped between two genres.
Returnal review: an immaculate third-person shooter that may keep you in its loop forever
Returnal is a top-notch conversion of one PlayStation 5’s finest, combining razor-sharp shooting with dense atmosphere and a captivating story.

With the PC version on the horizon, I thought it'd be time to make an OT for this version of game. I'm very hyped to be able to play the game once it releases on PC. The particle effects look insane and should scale well with more powerful hardware.

Holy shit can't wait, going to look glorious with RT and all those particles. Looks like a very competent port, judging by the oprions menu!

I have this thru PS plus but haven't played it. Guessing I should?
Multiple users here spoke very positively of the game and increased my desire to play it. Apparently it's pretty great.

Played it with ps plus. Game is fun! Either I suck (most likely) or it's pretty fucking hard. I love the way the trigger on the controller works for alt fire. Great roguelike shooter.
Yup. I remember quite a bit of positive buzz surrounding the game when it first launched. I love both rogue-likes and bullet hell but didn't have a PS system so I was a bit hard to ignore it at first, till now. Lots of criticism of the protags face though. Which, having not played it, was the only thing I could agree with at the time other than aesthetics.
Anyway, I expect the positive buzz to reverse coarse a bit now while the PC version launches as the PS diehards suddenly have negative retrospective thoughts on the game.
Crossing my fingers for some cool character mods. Hoping to replace the main characters model with something like Gunvalkyrie...

Absolutely looking forward to new character models by the community. Samus Aran comes to mind.
But I'd be for Vanessa from P.N.03:

I'll be getting it on PC. I'll be interested what price they try to launch this at though. This is something I'm happy to wait for if its too expensive at launch.
Yeah price point is definitely a big unknown. At 39,99€, I'd day one the game. But I have a feeling they'll include DLC and some new content and make it a full priced game. Who knows.

It's the first proper full PS5 exclusive game as well. I think they will likely go £69.99.
Definitely possible. Then I'll hunt for a cheaper key, even if I'll have to wait for a bit. Give modders the time to include better player models.
Who am I kidding I'll day one that fucker.

I'd be like that for an IP I know Demons Souls, Last of Us: Part 1 etc. I haven't tried this so it makes the wait easier, I don't know what I'm missing. It's also slightly riskier when there's a small chance I may not like it.
On one side its been out a while and is now cheap on PS5, on the other they need to reinforce the new price point as standard and not damage the PS5 "new releases". It's a toin coss what they will go for IMO.
If they release at full price I'll gladly wait for a sale. I have no shortage of good games in my backlog.
I've been excited for this game since the first trailer I've seen. Happy to finally be able to play it soon.

I just bought a ps5 to play this 
I'm a sucker for physics and particle effects. Always saying that all games need competent physics. Very glad to see this game continuing the devs physics and particle obsession.

Is this the Ellen DeGeneres game ? Housmarque is a pretty good developer
The game play loop was a little frustrating at first, to be fair, but slowly building permanent upgrades while testing different weapon builds and finding the best balance of 'risk/reward' looping was part of the fun. By the time I got through it once a fresh playthrough was a breeze.
Don't get discouraged PAD'rs and power through. Definitely worth the time investment.
Sounds great! A roguelike has to have some motivating permanent upgrades to go for, otherwise I tend to not like them much.

How are you liking it? Crying yet because of the difficulty?

Day one. Curious about the PC enhancements. Kinda sad that all the effects don't affect the environment much in terms of lighting.
The master racers can finally enjoy one of the best games in years.
Unless they are pussies who complain about dying in a videogame, of course.

Important part from the article:
"From what we know so far, the PC version of Returnal will have Ray Tracing effects, as well as support for NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR. Thus, these PC requirements are for its non-RT/rasterized version."
So the RT requirements are higher of course. Good to see it having DLSS. Now just need to know if the RT implementation will be worth it.

Played the crap out of the ps5 Version, looking forward to pc with rt at 120 
Just saw it now, holy shit at the 32GB RAM recommendation. I guess I really have to do a hefty CPU / RAM upgrade next year. Currently only rocking 16GB.

I'm going to pick this up day 1 as long as Sony stick with the £49.99 price point.
Not too hyped considering the OT didn't go past one page on PS5 release lol.
