Pros & Cons
Pros
This game is for someone who's willing to play 4 hours a day to get someplace. As a dollars-to-hours-entertainment ratio goes, this meets the standard to me.
The audio is stellar with ps5 3d audio. It utilizes the ps5's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers better than any other game out right now. Especially with the pulse 3d headphones (or others with 3d audio), the sound is excellent.
Returnal is stunning, impressive and immersive. The sci-fi other worldly atmosphere is very reminiscent of the movie alien and prometheus. Housemarque definitely knows how to make a * video game with a good engine!
This game is just a downright masterpiece.
Use the weapons to unlock a locked trait. Each time you play, the environment and available weapons, consumables and artifacts are entirely different. The replay ability for those games is also dependent on the game specifically.
Cons
I don't care if a game is a thousand hours. If those thousand hours are boring and depression-inducing, it is not worth it. For the rogue like that demands grinding this is quite repetitive and very quickly palls.
The difficulty, unfairness of enemies, and lack of saves is truly insane an infuriating. From game crushing glitches and updates that delete your saves to the overwhelming reliance on luck and randomness. Then the whole dungeon maps randomly change.
It is so gd frustrating. And that others just need to git gud. Sometimes objectives are impossibly far.
It's the obscene amount of money the game cost, plus the desire to justify the obscene price of the ps5 itself, the boredom of life in quarantine, before i even get to the disappointing qualities of the game itself. This is clearly an indie game at be... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Arrived sealed in the original packaging with the disc so no issues on the quality of the physical product itself
If you can put up with a challengingdemanding game and are okay with the lack of a proper save system i highly recommend it
Still with the heck the game becomes incredible and can finally be recommended
You have to suspend the game and put the ps5 in rest mode with the game still running in the background
Price
It might not really be worth 70 but if the price goes down below 50 you should really pick it up
Competitiveness
The audio is stellar with ps5 3d audio
One of the best ps5 exclusives challenging but a beautiful game that takes advantage of the dual sense features

The game does in fact have a type of checkpoint system in place people telling you their runs are lasting over an hour no offense arent playing the game right or are getting god runs without realizing it

For example your first mission is to find a key thats it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
From that point you can go straight to the first boss of the game after about 10 mins or so on every run after you find the key
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Once you beat the boss you unlock the next area and the same type of checkpoint system applies
