PlayStation Plus users recommend PS5 AAA “masterpiece”
There’s plenty of exclusive games in the PlayStation lineup and many are available as part of PlayStation Plus. One of these games gets a lot of attention and has been a sleeper-hit which some have called a “masterpiece’.
Returnal is an action game that is roguelike and plays in a loop, letting the protagonist die repeatedly and over while slowly progressing as well as figuring out the fundamentals of the mystery.
Returnal has many gamers, as it appears. Many of these are on the Reddit thread that was created by a person who considers the game to be a “masterpiece”. The initial post made by JimmySteve3556 describes how they played the game regardless of being a “casual gamer”. They gushed about their love of this game after discovering the game by accident after playing Demon’s Souls.
Their message prompted a flood of gamers to step up to praise how amazing the game can be. “The visual and audio design, and the atmosphere it creates is exceptional,” according to one player who isn’t incorrect. Returnal is an extremely beautiful game that is based on stunning graphics as well as rousing music.
“Unbelievable game! The rush of dodging last minute and shooting back is amazing,” writes Ok_Captain7309 from the forum, who gives hints on the rigours of playing. The game is known to be tough as nails, and numerous comments concur that the game is fantastic however, it doesn’t take any prisoners. “The game was just too hard for me, gave it 30hrs and made no progress,” wrote one participant who considers that the game is more difficult than other Soulsborne games. Another Redditor was in agreement, stating, “I have not been able to get past the first boss.”
Returnal isn’t for all, but it is certainly worthy of the flowers it has, especially since it was an exclusive game that occupied the PS5 for a good while until new exclusives were released.
