I love Returnal. Addicted to the heart pumping gameplay. So I bought the Deluxe Edition for Saros. Still haven’t finished Pragmata so I only intended to play for 1 hour.
This game rocks.
Visually amazing. Sound design is epic. Gameplay is Returnal on heavy metal.
Beat the first boss first try with one tiny bit of HP left. Heart rate maybe at 100-120 something. Sitting straight up from my sofa. Stretching my fingers. Yelled “f*ck yeah” in silent. The shield mechanic works so well to encourage a more aggressive playstyle. Block > Recharge > Power > Dash. Constantly dancing with the boss in perfect rhythm with the background music.
Amidst all that, I pause time to time just to look at the scenery and level designs. It simply hits.
Buckle up, you are in for a massive ride through Carcosa.
