I don’t know what game these reviewers were playing but this is good at best. The time loop mechanics are interesting, but you eventually realize that there’s not very much freedom with how you solve it. I find it clunky to play and isn’t as satisfying as it should be. The story is told almost exclusively through reading notes, and why would I do that when I could go kick a guy off a cliff.

Gameplay is Returnal’s biggest strength, and it leans on it heavily. It’s always challenging, rarely ever letting up, but it never feels unfair. The story isn’t the main attraction, but it’s told in an effective way and creates an unsettling atmosphere that enhances the experience. One of the most underrated PS5 titles so far.
I didn’t think it was possible to make the performances any better, but the modern graphics and animation take what is already one of the best games ever made and brings it up to, and even a little ahead of ,modern day standards. If you haven’t played this game at this point, what are you even doing?
