Returnal
Jumped in last night. Always been interested in the game but was too unsure if I could handle the roguelike nature, and the price was too much.
In comes PS+ Premium tadaaaa!
Can’t say I’m 100% sold on it yet but the roguelike mechanic is done way better than in any other game of that type. I really like how they’re doing a story about every restart and the storytelling is great, love how she talk about what’s happening.
It’s still annoying to start over when you just got a great weapon. Feels like playing Super Probotector with one life, but you can never learn the levels.
I’ve got two permanent upgrades though but they’re just starters so I’m still in the phase where it feels like I’m stuck at the start.
I’m guessing I get a permanent grapple hook upgrade or something soon? There is a glowing ledge in the crashsite room that I can’t reach.
For those of you who have already played it. I keep messing up in boss rooms from what seems like a jamming main gun. Or maybe I’m out of bullets? I don’t think it’s that secondary fire crap
(that barely work, trigger resistance is too weak, works 50% of the time) since I can still load up that, or try to do it because I’ve always died before it’s ready to be used. Too stressed out to notice any prompt about what’s happening. Annoying.
Maybe it’s a fabricated death scenario to advance the story?
Anyhow, some annoyance but definitely better roguelike mechanic than I thought it would have. I’ll keep playing.
