Returnal Is a Must Play - (Spoiler Free) Review in 2024

[@focusflute]

possibly my fav game of all time

[@dualshooter2461]

Then you are a person of culture and great taste 🔥🔥🔥

[@DreadclawDragodon]

I actually never noticed the reload mechanic in Returnal till it was pointed out in this video...... it was one of the reasons outside of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Kena that made me want to get a PS5 (of course now they're on pc lol) I kinda want them to do a spinoff for Returnal that's more like a metroidvania, excellent review :)

[@dualshooter2461]

Thank you! Don’t hate me…but I’ve never played a ratchet and clank. I own a few, but for some reason never played them. Have to add that to my list!!!

[@Rich0029]

I completed Returnal a few days ago it’s probably been my favourite game of this generation really glad PS are bringing games to PC. The music is good really recommend checking out it’s soundtrack. Nier Automata is the only other 3d bullet hell I’ve played.

[@dualshooter2461]

That is interesting. Nier is on my list to play, and didn’t realize it has shooter elements in it. That might be the next game I try.

​@@dualshooter2461 Just beat Nier Automata last night (ending E) and it was one of the best media experiences I've had. Highly recommend it!

[@robertocurrlos7470]

I just wish it didnt have so many energy weapons. Energy weapons and unreal weapons im not too into but the game does look satisfying and im only into games which have satisfaction.😊 Games these days lack this

[@dualshooter2461]

I think I understand on the satisfaction. Like the feedback of the weapons right?! Surprisingly a lot weapons are what I would describe as “crispy”. They feel very diverse and I would say the entire gameplay loop is very satisfying.

[@Olliecksdee]

Really good review im super interested in picking this game up eventually the gameplay looks so unique. Sorry i haven't been able to catch the streams recently too much going on irl. And sorry abour your dog, she looked gorgeous x.

[@infamousstyle]

i cried watching the dedication to Sadie. Show me a mans dog and I can know the man. Such love, rest in peace Sadie. Love you two!

[@dualshooter2461]

Thanks bro. She was a great dog and had a great life. She only how to do shake cause you taught her! 🩷

[@Justgusto718]

One of my first Ps5 games it kicked my ass for months until I finally got past the second boss also beat the tower dlc 10/10 hands down one of my favorite games of all time

[@dualshooter2461]

Glad you persevered! Such a great game.

[@boogie56ace]

Sadie was awesome by the way. Looked like she lived a great life.

[@dualshooter2461]

I appreciate that!! I believe she really did ❤️❤️❤️

[@wetteryan]

Im a huge stan for Risk of Rain 2. That game embodies "flow state" to me. Looks like I need to finally give this game a shot.

[@dualshooter2461]

Just looked that up! Looks sick. I might get that on steam. Steam sale starts today too, so hopefully I’ll get a deal. If you try out returnal, let us know what you thought!!!

[@Shalq_]

awesome game, im lvl 99 patrol at PS5. i wish some new content but game is "finished" They should fix at least the 3rd boss fight with coop falling to the death. Anyway if u need some help on ps5 just let me know. Shalq_

[@matthiasmartin4355]

I just finished this on the PC and had a lot of fun. It's also absolutely gorgeous looking with raytracing and all those particle effects on a HDR monitor. Although mouse and keyboard definitely makes this game a hell of a lot easier than I assume it was on PS5. My first death during my very first run happened in Phase III of the White Shadow bossfight at the end of the third biom where I just didn't have enough firepower. My only point of criticism is probably that the "secret ending" was a bit of a letdown. Overall I'd rank this at 8,5/10.

[@dualshooter2461]

The auto aim on controller was quite heavy lol. So wasn’t too bad aiming wise. That is wild you made it that far on your first death?! Glad you enjoyed the game 🔥🔥🔥

[@matthiasmartin4355]

@@dualshooter2461 I own a DualSense controller but due to all the reports about the high degree of difficulty I decided to go for mouse and keyboard on my first playthrough and I think that was the right choice. When I feel the urge to replay it I'm going to test the controller. Also I think the game spawns easier enemies on your very first playthrough. Afterwards I died half a dozen times before even reaching the first boss because the game started spawning those bats that explode as they rush you. Took me a couple of hours to get used to that difficulty spike.

[@boogie56ace]

Sub good video.

[@boogie56ace]

So I haven't picked up the Returnal yet. I just got a ps5 and I am debating if the psn plus is worth it. Returnal is in the games catalog.

[@smithtschenden]

I didn’t like this game initially… but holy cow I’m LOVING it now that it clicked

[@dualshooter2461]

Right?! Once it hits, damn it’s good. The music and atmosphere carry it till that point, but’s it’s so fun.

How long has this been out? And it’s still $70..

[@dualshooter2461]

Where you see it for $70? Amazon has it for $40, eBay can find copies from $30. Steam I’ve seen it on sale for $40.

[@Bazinga22199]

I believe it’s free on the second tier of PlayStation Plus

Really?! How so? That’s one of the next games on my list!!

[@nickl.2565]

I havent played it but just looked at these boss fights reminded me of nier

@@nickl.2565 sweet. I’m excited to try Nier out.

[@Anouargama]

I’m playing Nier Automata as we speak. The way it might resemble Returnal is that currently I am going through my fifth consecutive replay of the main campaign which varies from a few to eight hours each run. Everytime you start the game again by the end you will have uncovered so much extra lore/weapons/new missions it will leave you astounded how the developers chose to hide all that unique awesome content behind a “multiple playthrough wall”. The proof that the game is awesome is that each playthrough is meaningfull and an absolute blast and fun. Also remarkable that you don’t get bored of it as so much remains to uncover. Would love to see your review of that game.

[@dualshooter2461]

@@Anouargama now I’m hype for Nier! Can’t wait to try it.

[@zvette5]

I stoped playing I hatec the concept of dying and starting at the beginning

[@dualshooter2461]

That’s fair! It can be hard to see progress when you start from the same area. I loved the concept, but I can see how it can be frustrating for sure. Sorry it wasn’t your cup of tea 😫
