Remember: we don’t pre-order games.
Never did finish Returnal, need to get back to it. Was a lot of fun just kinda fell off of it. This looks pretty cool.
I’m so hype for this! Returnal was one of my favourite pandemic era games I played, and really helped me get back into gaming as a hobby. Very excited to see what Housemarque have cooked up.
Is Returnal as hard as they say? I’ve heard good things, but I’ve also heard it’s incredibly unforgiving and hard. I’m a little scared I won’t be able to finish it.
One one hand, yes it’s hard. But also, some progression is permanent, and it is possible to build momentum over the course of a single run and over all you runs in a way that can snowball. The first biome and boss is probably the hardest, because you as a player are at your least skilled and the caps on your maximum power are still quite low as well. If you can push past the first biome and boss, you can beat the game because your power cap grows faster than the difficulty does.
It does get very hard, but it’s also a game that doesn’t require finishing IMO. I’ve played till it too hard or I needed a break and then come back to it a couple of months or a year or two later and get further every time. It’s awesome.
You’re not necessarily selling me on it with that comment, but I’m glad you’re loving it! 😅
