Returnal is a twitchy shooter with a dash mechanic to ensure you can avoid the bullet-hell attacks from glowy aliens. But while Housemarque has shifted away toward more narrative and higher production values, this is still one of those games. The presentation mostly works, and the Prometheus vibes will win over fans of spooky, slimy sci-fi.

Returnal still has that great Housemarque action Occasionally, an enemy will glow the same color as your heads-up display, which can make reading the important info on your reticle nearly impossible. It’s a sci-fi action shooter from developer Housemarque, which is best known for arcade-style hits like Super Stardust HD and PS4 launch game Resogun. Returnal is the latest first-party PlayStation 5 release from Sony Interactive Entertainment. Returnal’s biggest weakness is a dearth of compelling progressions to distract you from its learning curve, and that is detrimental to its pacing and sense of momentum. The idea is that if only you can unlock that next weapon, maybe you’ll have what you need to progress - but in reality, you are actually learning the way the game works and getting better at playing it. Instead, it puts the focus on smaller tasks to unlock new weapons or tools. A good roguelite, however, distracts the player from this process. But that is a tedious and laborious process. In order to finish the game, the player needs to improve their skill. The art of building a quality roguelite is in the sleight of hand. That the encoded qubit lifetime could extend two orders of magnitude beyond theīreak-even point, with substantial margin for improvement through progress inįabrication and control electronics.Connect with top gaming leaders in Los Angeles at GamesBeat Summit 2023 this May 22-23.
