What I enjoyed the most about Returnal has to be the art direction and the setting of the game. It is a haunting, powerful and intense world with plenty to discover. The gameplay is also challenging and creative, with every death offering opportunities to play differently and discover ways to survive better as you discover the story behind the strange alien world you land on.
This was a very fun experience, however, I will discuss the death system in a bit. The monsters you battle all have incredible designs that are inspired by literature. They are as diverse as the environments you discover. Returnal has a little bit of everything for horror and sci-fi fans, TPS enthusiasts, and people looking for a great universe to explore and gameplay.
That being said, the repetitive aspects of the game surrounding the death system can become tedious to some people. That is why I can't recommend Returnal to every player unless they are used to the roguelike system. If you are open-minded and are interested in a wild sci-fi adventure, try it out!
Final Score: 78/100

@ WuPac | Updated my review a little bit and raised it a little to 78. I liked my experience with the game, but I think it can be very subjective depending on who is playing it. Especially if you are dying often or losing quite a bit of progress. Also in my personal ranking system, anything above a 75 I consider a pretty good game. 62-72ish is average or ok, and 80 and above are great games that really captivate me. I really liked Returnal but I don't think it quite reaches that level.
