r/Returnal

Any good tattoo ideas?

Returnal is one of my favorite games of all time, and i wanted to get a tattoo to reflect it affecting my life, but i'm not quite sure, what to get. I was thinking about doing simple digital 8:36 o'clock, but maybe people here can suggest better ideas?

Thinking of getting this game - do any of the nexusmods easy mode mods still work?

And if so can someone point me to one that works and is safe to use? that isn't malware/virus.

Help Please, fail session every time i try playing with a friend

So, i'm having an issue, me and a friend used to play together all the time. But now, an error occurs every time. The strangest thing is that we can play with strangers, on public maches, but when we try to play a private match between the two of us, the error happens; we've already tried everything. Is there anything we can do?

Would Returnal be worth it for someone who has my taste in games, but is on a tight budget?

My industry was affected by AI, so my budget has been pretty tight. Returnal has been on my radar for awhile, but I'm honestly debating getting it this time around. However, I have a few reservations that I'd like to get some honest feedback on, since $20 is sadly a decent chunk of my budget.

  1. I'm not very good at games. I normally play on normal in single player and still will have trouble here and there. I know this game is not only hard, but very unforgiving. I've been interested in it for months now, so I figured that it could just be one of those games I play here and there (vs every day) over the course of the year to beat, unless I get really hooked. But I'm just worried, I'll get too frustrated.

  2. I know it's not a horror game, but I feel like it has horror elements. Not just the atmosphere, but from what I heard about the story, there seems to be some psychological horror. Is that a good assumption? I love video games as a medium for storytelling and psychological horror is probably my favorite genre.

3)How many hours would you say it took before you got the hang of it? How many hours did you end up sinking in it before beating it?

4)How long would each gaming session need to be to make decent progress? Would just ending it each time I die be fine, considering it restarts you every time?

  1. Do you think I'd like it given my tastes? My favorite single-player games are Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 2 Remake and Final Fantasy X. And this is my steam profile for reference of my type of games.

Noob question

Like others, I was struggling with Returnal. I didn’t understand or get to grips with the whole cycle thing. 13 hours later along with some encouragement from the community, I persevered and got Phrike down. Now in Biome 2 and it is kicking my butt but I feel I understand more. When you die in biome 2, do you go through biome 1 and level up again or do you head straight to biome 2?

I head straight to biome 2 but just asking to see if I am missing the point of levelling up as usual.

This game…

Apologies in advance for the unrepentant glazing.

I’m just blown away by this game and wanted to share somewhere. At first, I was very frustrated by the difficulty. I almost put the game down… but something kept calling me back. Pretty quickly, I realized it was the adrenaline. There are moments where every shot and every movement feels like it matters because you’re on the brink of life and death. I can’t stop playing. It’s like fucking crack or something. I’ve never experienced anything like it in another game, not even in my beloved souls series.

…and I haven’t even beaten the second boss yet.

Really excited to keep playing and figure out more about this world.

I couldn't pass on this. The artwork is gorgeous, and I love Returnal too much.

My first and only vinyl.

Can’t come back from death at final boss

Forgive my ignorance in terminology. I made it all the way to the last boss and died. Now I can’t seem to make it back to him Without dying. I’ve been having fun at the tower trying to upgrade guns but is that even worth it for the main story gun progress?

Also as a side question. Was the weapon glitch fixed where you can have a laser shooting at all time?

I finished my first playthrough 🥹(spoilers probably)

Ok so first of all I posted like a week ago how this game wasn’t feeling “better” or “harder” than Saros and I am happy to report how wrong I was.

The game peaked in biome 4, that boss and the lead up to it was CINEMAAA

biome 5 fckin kicked my ass omfg altho WHY was there not a final boss for that biome?! major Missed opportunity

When biome 5 finally clicked last night I went through 4-6 without dying and finished the game using a level 28 Rotland Globber and didn’t even use my heal or figurine

Final boss was too easy but rly cool and yeah Saros first boss was a better version of this one.

I have so many questions about the ending scenes UGH

A wild ride that I will definitely continue forward for the true ending.

TLDR THIS GAME HARD & PEAK & PEW PEW PEW

What an experience. Now I’m downloading Saros.

Returnal is now one of my favorite games of all time. I think it was even that before I rolled credits and decided I was going to play Saros as soon as possible. I learned to love the cycle.

I remember hearing great things about the game when it launched, but I just didn’t seem drawn to it. I wasn’t a hater, just thought, sure, I bet it’s good, just not for me. I didn’t want to play a bullet hell game, a rogue lite, or even particularly enjoy the art direction in the trailers. Furthermore, I didn’t understand how the story would be compelling.

After giving it a shot last week, the game shattered all of my misguided apprehensions. I mean wow, what a beautiful game in every facet. Gameplay is great, environments are great, the story is deep (pun intended) or at least more complicated and exciting than I could have imagined, and the game made me emotional, digging deeper into Selene’s grief. What a fucking video game.

I hope the devs still see posts like mine and many other converts. I’m so appreciative of this experience. Now I’m off to continue the cycle in Saros.
