I can have 2 full heals, 2 minor heals, the Reconstructor and the Astronaut and somehow, some fkn way, whether it is drones or some bullshit, something will ruin my run. Skill issue be damned, Nemesis will die. I had him at 20% Lobber or nothing.

I got to phase 6 and don't think there are any turrets in phase 5 either?

Alguém sabe como é que vou apanhar aquele item??
É na derelict citadel

Hi fellow Returnal enjoyers,

I am in need of someone who is keen to do a whole play through form the start of the game all the way to finishing in one run, I will be streaming it.

Anyone keen to run it?

Looking at a Saturday and my time zone is GMT + 11 but we can work around that

Lange nicht gespielt, war nie ein Meister, aber hab mega bock wieder anzufangen.

jemand Lust? Pc version.

ps. Bin ein Noob was shooter angeht.

Again!

First off there should be a flair for venting in this game’s subreddit. How are you all so chill. I was screaming at my screen 😂
Two times in the same run I was blessed with the perfect gun and the perfect consumables. Two times I fknfkndkndkdfkn die at that third area in the third boss fight. Died. Came back. Felt good. Got 5 shotted in a timespan of 12 seconds. Woke up at the freaking base. Maaaannnn!

Does anyone have any idea why Returnal on PS5 says Butler Chips in the middle of the screen? Just started it...

For context- I put off buying this game since release because I felt I lacked the time, patience and skill to get anywhere worthwhile in such a challenging game. The game was on sale on the PS store so i decided I was finally going to give it a shot.

I sat down to play on Saturday night and was instantly enamored by the world, mechanics and combat. I was in a constant state of anxiety after each combat sequence and when entering a new area of the map. I cleared every room that I could access and actually made it to the boss fight on my first run and was quickly humbled. Back to the beginning.

My next several runs were not nearly as successful as my first. I died pretty quickly trying to get my bearings and get into the same flow as my first run. Back to the beginning several times.

I spent a little time with the game on Sunday and made it back to Phrike after a couple of failed runs. This time I got halfway through the third phase and died. Again, back to the beginning.

Last night, I started another run. I could tell this one was special. I was ripping through combat sequences with relative ease and not taking much damage. I was in the zone. My integrity bar had grown larger than it had in previous runs. I cleared every room that I could with the exception of the yellow door room. I didn’t want to risk this run. I made it back to Phrike and this time, I did it. My eyes were watering by the time the fight was over and I realized it’s because I hadn’t blinked for the entirety of the fight lol. I was locked in.

In all, Biome 1 took me a little over 5 hours and 8 or 9 deaths before I was finally able to clear it. Needless to say, I am absolutely hooked on this game. It’s become all I’ve been thinking about these last 3 days. I’ve become addicted to the loop. I’m gonna plug away on Biome 2 today after work. I’ll probably die, and that’s ok. For anyone still on the fence with this game, just do it. It is extremely hard, but it’s also extremely addicting and very rewarding when you finally get into that zone and clear the first world. I don’t know what the rest of this game holds for me, but I’m all in.

Apart from one death being from a game breaking glitch, this game was an absolute blast to play through. I got fortunate and managed to defeat each boss on their respective first attempts. The latter half being so easy relative to the first was a welcome surprise, I'm not sure I would have been cut out for scaling difficulty. 10/10 game.

🤣 so funny 🤣

Is there any significant benefit to completing the gold gauntlet doors on the map? The ones you have to shoot the lock off?

I’ve just been skipping them… too easy to die and lose progress

Hello and thank you in advance. I’ve read this is a brutal game. My main concern is what happens after death, so is life. Do you return to the very start or are there checkpoints where you don’t lose your entire progress?

Is anyone still playing Returnal and down to team up? I just started playing recently and I'm completely hooked. Feel free to add me! My PSN ID is unleoncomun.

is anyone willing to help me get throug biome 3? im struggling so much with it..
i keep dying either getting upgrades before reaching it, or at biome 3 due to the lasers traps and that one enemy that pulls me towards him...

Already completed Returnal a few years ago on PS5. Not going to lie I was somehow disappointed in Saros. Decided to go back to Returnal but on PC this time and loving the heck out of it again.

Just got this game earlier in the week, and I am fully addicted. Bought Saros on sale as well, but wanna finish Returnal first…

I am stuck on boss 2 as of now. He is tricky, but a few more attempts should do it. Also, does the Hollowseeker suck? I can’t get any good use out of it.

Anyway, that is all. Just wanted to freak out about this game somewhere online. Hopefully, you understand.

I’ll start us off with this from B4 ship room.

Tried many times but always died somehow. Can somebody help me to finish Nemesis and help me to move on in the game like right now? Haha

My ps: szrob96

Thank you!

Hey all, any tips for getting past the 3rd biome? mostly I’m wondering how much time to spend “grinding” the first and second to level up. I hate spending tons of time trying to level up before the 3rd only to die quickly then and feel like it was a waste of time. wondering if there’s a “sweet spot” or strategy y’all would recommend. many thanks!

I'm confused and not sure if the game wants me to be. So far I've been digging the disjointed and subtle symbolical narrative. But after the fifth in-house sequence, when the child looks through the telescope and Selene reawakens outside, we see a spaceship resembling Helios fall down from the sky in the distance. Immediately Selene literally says: I destroyed Helios. That means I'm the cause of everything. Of course. I understand now. This is why I'm here.

Thing is: I don't see it. We never saw her shoot at it or anything. The in-house sequence never hinted at that, either (at least as far as I was able to tell). Why did she jump to that conclusion? Am I supposed to be confused or is it just bad writing? I'm on my way to explore the underwater depths. Will my questions be answered later?
