From the opening cinematic where the ship is crashing, you can feel every rumble shift from one corner of the controller to the other.

Returnal really shows off the potential of the DualSense. Returnal is a third-person action game with a lot of frantic fast-paced gunplay, and before we get into the details of the gameplay, I’d like to highlight some of the features on the DualSense. Once in a while, you will visit a house where the perspective changes to first-person view and this is where you have some of the more intimate story moments. For the first couple of hours, the story feels like a slow burn and that’s ok as the game is helping you come to grips with the various mechanics and it’s only once you’ve endured through the time loop a bunch of times that the story starts to unfold. Some of it feels contradictory to what the Selene you are playing feels and it is in these moments of Selene talking to herself that you understand some of the depth the story brings. It is these scout logs that not only give you a hint as to what’s coming next but also highlight the mental state of the protagonist. Throughout your journey, you will find Scout Logs left behind by Selene probably from a previous run. Not only because of the time loop but because the foes in the game look a lot like the aliens from the movie.

This live-die-repeat formula feels a lot like the movie Edge of Tomorrow. In the first minute of the game, you come across yourself lying dead on the ground and in the next 10 minutes you will face a foe who kills you in a matter of seconds and you awaken at the crash site once again. You must explore the planet to “Locate the ‘White Shadow’ Broadcast. You don the role of a Space Scout, Selene who has crash-landed on a hostile alien planet Atropos. But it’s only when you progress far enough that the plot truly starts to unfold. The story of Returnal sounds straightforward when you start. Returnal is one of the first games to show us what the PS5 (review) can do and it looks like it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I don’t remember the last time I leapt off my seat to rejoice in a victorious boss battle or felt so immersed in a game thanks to the controller.

Returnal is a rogue-lite game and let’s get the obvious out of the way – if you love games like Hades or Control (review) then you will definitely find appeal in what Returnal has to offer. You can learn the difference between roguelike and rogue-lite here. Rogue-lite adds some new abilities like carrying over some abilities or making some permanent changes to player abilities which will be carried forward with each run. A rogue-lite game has some elements of a roguelike game but not all.
