Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a sleeper title on the PS5, thing Dead Souls that is a bullet hell kind of game. The semi rouge like gives it an additional challenge. I always suggest people to watch a gameplay video to get a better understanding of the game mechanics. Otherwise the game doesn't get many chances because it can be too hard. It is the most played game on my PS5 and for very good reason!

Taking a rogue style, and stuffing it into a massive, EXCELLENT story like this is unprecedented, and just done so magnificently. A stellar game, albeit EXTREMELY difficult.

I’m maybe 5 hours in and I’m blown away. I’ve never played a rogue like before and was hesitant to. But I’m an old school gamer and this feels very Metroid with tons of modern polish. It’s very engaging and has that “one more run” mentality to keep you going. Again, incredibly polished experience and this game was the reason I picked up a PS5 after praise from MyLifeInGaming (YouTube) and some of my friends. This game is brutal but if you love a challenge, welcome to Returnal!

Possibly my favorite game on the PS5 so far. While "Rift Apart" was amazing and well optimized, Returnal hit so many of the notes I didn't realize I wanted in a game. Challenging at first, but becomes manageable after some time and adjustment. Love the nonlinear storytelling, gunplay, enemy variations, and maps. Even the endgame mode (tower) is extremely fun after finishing the game.

Bought this game to give it a try...never played a game by this company but overall it's a unique and great experience. I know that when you die you start over but I just wish they had saves in it where you can save your progress and then still come back to where you left off...then if you die, you start over again...but they need to be able to let people close out the game and turn off their PS5's. Just beware that you can't save in this game or turn off your PS5 after playing or you will have to start over from the beginning. Great looking graphics and challenging gameplay though...Great new game!

The patches and how this game lacks saving really made the release week feel like a mess. I enjoyed playing it for hours, but was careful in how I managed runs because I didn't want to waste my time like others did that didn't know patches would restart the game. Or in the case of one rushed out patch destroy the save file. I thankfully kept track of what was going on and don't happen to trust new patches on new software. In spite of its fun game play and great looking environments I must knock the way they handled releasing this game. It's a good game, but falls short of greatness and really I question the value of it being 70 dollars. I would buy it again, but really it's still a shame games don't release in better shape.

This is a great game, but pretty difficult. Not crazy about not being able to save your progress. That makes it much more difficult for a casual gamer who doesn't have endless hours to pour into the game.

This game will test tour limits as a gamer; you will die a lot and start from the beginning. However you will enjoy every minute of it. I highly recommend this game

I purchased this for my son. One day I passed by his bedroom and was enveloped by the game and didn't realize that one hour had passed. I bought this game online three days before his birthday and it came in time.

One of the few games that offers a high challenge while also delivering a story that cant be figured out instantly.

Returnal is a must have PS5 game. It truly stands out as a gem of the next gen titles. The difficulty is hard for sure, but the replay value is through the roof. It's very satisfying to progress further each time through the different biomes. It's definitely worth checking out.

Very difficult game , havent played too much but definitley a challenging game . Awesome story so far too

Excellent game, hard to put down! One of the best non-series, original games I’ve played in a long time. Also really shows off the PS5 capabilities well.

Amazing game! Difficult to start but near the end it gets easier, you will become more powerful and it is a fun game to dive into, a definite must buy!!!

From beginning to end this game will chew you up and spit you out. Despite that you’ll be coming back for just one more run! The sound design is top notch and begs to be experienced with headphones. The graphics are incredible and the music all come together to bring you an amazing gaming experience. The new patch allows you to finally save your game in the middle of a run if you need to step away for a bit and the game crashes are all but patched out. Housemarque knocked this out of the park for their first third person game.

Unique and fun gameplay. Really interesting storyline. Definitely frustrating and a but repetitive but there are a lot of ways to go about it. Definitely needs to be llayed in the dark.

One of the best ps5 games on the system. Gameplay is thrilling and the story is intriguing

I played the heck out of this to the point I caused bad stick drift in my controller. I'm not usually one for souls like difficulty in games but it being sci fi and having long range weapons made it palatable

This game was made for PS5 with the the feedback controls, stunning graphics, 3d audio and game play. Dont like not having a save feature at launch.

Hard rouge-like arcade shooter style game. Fluid controls, and luck of the draw randomly generated maps make this an interesting concept that works 85% of the time.
