Best special edition for killzone fans.

I’m ready to go to Vegas and bet my unborn child’s whole college fund

Nothing better than hanging out drunk with the boys and killing some bugs. Reminds me of the good ol’ college days.

I would say I’m an expert when it comes to handling anime bullshit, but Yuffie somehow broke me. I felt like I was watching a Tik Tok cringe compilation every time she used her whole body to talk.

Overall, it was a nice little DLC to get you excited for what is to come.

This has probably been said 1,000 times over, but the final 15 minutes make this game worth the play. Zacks's new VA may not be it, but the character himself is still our guy for sure. At the end of the day, I'm happy I picked this up again before Rebirth comes out tonight. The short and sweet experience made the final wait hours more bearable. I just wish some of the awful writing didn't take years off my life.

Now, I officially feel like a cultured man from Gongaga.

Pound for pound, the best action gameplay you can find.
If I could rank this game as "triple S", I would.

Probably the best video-game of the modern era?
Yes... yes I think so.

Excellent combat system the likes of which we had never seen and probably will never see again, unless they do a sequel.

One of the most unique and addictive fighting games which still holds up 7 years on! It is still getting supported with new content and balance changes. It's just a shame the dwindling playerbase can't support more than 3 or 4 different game modes.

I've never been more immersed in any other 'immersive sim' game. The presentation is just gorgeous.

What a superbly realised world with a brilliantly janky combat system that all combines to mimick your character's experience from complete and utter novice to proficient and worthy knight. It feels entirely player driven and that is glorious!

My friend asked me to play this.
I had no interest in it... like zero... nothing... nada. It started as 2.5 stars.

I've finished it now.

It's pretty good.

The boys yearn for a new Battlefield

Would it be wrong to consider this game a cult classic after only being 3 years out from its release?

Writing about Returnal is difficult for me because I don't think I have the skills to accurately describe just how brilliant it is. Housemarque crafted something special here, so instead of trying to decern whether or not you should play it by reading this, just give it a shot! If you're at all a fan of unraveling narratives and intrinsically motivated gameplay, this'll become one of your favorites.

I hate it, but I can't stop playing it.

I‘d give this two stars, but Kassandra is hot so it‘s three stars
