I still need to beat Act 2 and 3...

Speed runs in games like this are truly special because another gamer with less skill could get a faster time on just luck. Likewise, a more skilled player could take longer just on bad luck like me. My first run I beat the first two bosses without dying. After that, the first room or two everytime was like insane and I swear I had to check every single room for the damn key after that.

This game... wow just wow the adrenaline rush I get from this game is unreal!

Returnal is the first game ever where after continuous dying over and over I just smile and jump back in for more.

So glad I stayed persistent after taking me 25 hours and 67 deaths to beat the first boss 🤣
Im on biome 3 now after beating Ixion yesterday woohoo!

I really need to get back to this game, I got to the 3rd world a few times and then got distracted with something else. What I have played of it was excellent though.

This game deserves more recognition.

I've heard a lot of bad things about it and a really disagree.

"2 hours in a single run" = my longest was 40 min. My endgame 30 min

"No sense of progression" = didnt play the game. A lot of things are permanent, you keep for the next run

"Story is unclear and open ended" = its not direct, but with some effort its clear and have an ending

"Too dificult" = sorry, its not. Its unbalaced, but not that hard

Should be on PC as well. It would sell really well.

Christ, I have no idea how long it took me to do several runs to find the last symbol in Biome 6. I know I was on the verge of losing my mind though

Madness.

Okay that's amazing. 46 minutes means he didn't go to side rooms most likely. Which means he likely had very few artifacts and was working primarily off whatever weapons he finds off enemies and chests. Which also means he dodges most if not all attacks.

I can do 3 biomes in 46 minutes but not 6 biomes

I’m on the last biome. I suck against one of the new enemies, but I love it.
