**The Official Returnal Thread**

[von Humboldt]

Was unofficially known about for ages, but Sony officially announced it there before The Game Awards. Coming in "early 2023".

I'll be interested to take a look at this on PC, I've heard a great deal of positive stuff about it on console

Platinumed it on PS5.

It's brilliant!

Remember when this released it got good reviews, surprised to see it coming to PC, definitely interested. Just glad to see more and more PS exclusives ending up on PC, shame about Bloodborne.

 

[Amatsubu]

Have it on PS5 already and it runs great so won't double-dip.

Definitely one of the most unique games this gen.
A roguelike bullethell with a cryptic plot is not something that happens everyday in AAA games.

Also, utterly fantastic sound design.

RTX, DLSS, NIS, Dolby ATMOS

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Not my type of game, but I’m sure it’d be great on PC.

+1 a must buy for anyone who hasn’t played it on PS5 IMO.

My game of the year when it released!

I cant wait, i hope it is released in the next 6 - 8 weeks or sooner

EDIT : 15th Feb date so that is great

 

[Bluecube]

Ugh. I might need to finally upgrade my graphics card. I’m not looking forward to paying through the nose for one

 

[ColdAsIce]

Woooo played it on ps5 but could not get on using a controller. Looking forward to full mouse and keyboard control.

 

[ShiWarrior]

just watched a video of this game (saying which PC specs)
and it was on in the background, and i like the look of this game

PS5 game coming to PC !
more on the way !

I really liked the atmosphere of this game but I really hated the min-max it wants you to do and the fact you don't get to really carry much progression over.

If you die, you die, and it's kind of back to square 1, as there seemed to be no way to boost some of the base stats through continued progression across runs.

For the min-maxing, people were essentially saying to boost stats you should not collect stuff and then come back for it later, but the problem here, is that I find this kind of gimmick a bit meh, I don't want to clear a bunch of stuff and then have to back pedal.

This game would be perfect if there was a longer goal of boosting stats to make subsequent runs easier, I would not mind dying a bunch if it helped me long term to complete it.

Recommended specs for 4k, 32GB memory

 

[Dano]

First few hours was fun, then it got very tedious and I gave up on it, overhyped would be my one word review, not recommended unless you are into repeating the exact same content (albeit mixed around and a hefty chunk of RNG luck thrown in) over and over again to attempt a boss fight.

 

[Westie]

Brilliant game this completed it on ps5... Defo up there with Hades for one of the best roguelikes around..

Recommended specs for 4k, 32GB memory

That should be standard nowdays anyway.

 

[MoNkeE]

Really? Is that just a 4k thing? I play at 2k, ultra, and have never ran out of RAM with 16gb?

 

[ShiWarrior]

Same with forspoken apparently

 

[Aegis]

Bad time for this to launch with Hogwart's stealing all the thunder but Returnal's out tomorrow - can't wait! (plus, I got it for £35 ) - only question mark hanging over this is how well Housemarque's tailored it to PC - it *is* Unreal 4 after all... Fingers crossed!
