Great to see how the game takes shape and hype. I'm really looking forward to play the final release on Friday.

Wccftech states a full run takes up to 90 minutes. Sounds a bit longer than most roguelikes? But thankfully shorter than the early estimates we had.

Both reviews at 9.3 though :o
90 minutes is a good number of me, I was feeling a bit uneasy because I usually get 60-90 minutes of play time in a normal weekday session. Breaking it up over two days at worst, however I'm probably dead meat after resuming from rest if I'm in a tough spot, takes me a few minutes to get in the zone in tough games.

The only reason it would take hours is if you are meticulously going through all sections vs being selective imo.

Fuck that Wccftech review had some serious spoilers in the first few paragraphs. I read the first spoiler, skipped to the next paragraph, then read another one in that paragraph, and the hard quit out. God dammit. I really wish I didn't read that.

22 hours and I'm going to feel every minute of the wait.

Is that where your Xbox normally lives? Doesn't look like it'd be good for ventilation given it sucks air up through the bottom?

No, as I said in the other thread I'm at mums place looking after her while she has a broken arm. I just pull out my consoles when I feel like a bit of gaming and that's where they ended up today lol they're fine.

So I'm seeing a full run is like 90 mins? I'm wondering how many hours you actually get from this overall. $70 is a bit much, but I want to play something made for the PS5 itself.

I really want to watch it but I've been liking only knowing what two of the biomes are.

How are you unlocking in 22 hours, shouldn't this unlock at 12 AM PST? Unless global times are different and I'm missing something
I'm in Sydney. It's currently Thursday 1AM here and the PS5 says Returnal unlocks in 21 hours. If that's wrong then it unlocks in 23 hours at midnight like usual, at least I assume it should unlock at midnight local time.

Yeah I think you will be one of the first I believe.

I knew the review thread went up too soon. Hopefully, the OP's just gets re-opened instead, otherwise, it's a waste of effort.

I missed it, did it get closed?

Cached reviews are here if anyone missed them (have heard the second possibly contains spoilers)

There's 6 biomes in total. From what I've read around 40 hours seems to be a rough estimate for the first playthrough.

Im so excited if this is true. Was expecting like an 8 hour game.

To clarify, a single biome takes about 1h30m once you master it, but the initial playthroughs should take you several hours or so to complete?
