Returnal combines side-scrolling action with roguelike gameplay into a third-person shooter where players fight to survive a hostile planet that changes with every death. Players can switch instinctively between firing modes by using a single adaptive trigger and can get right back into the action after dying. PS5's immersive 3D audio brings the alien world to life around the player, helping players navigate the intense positional combat. Coming to PlayStation 5.

I really liked what I saw in the trailer, but I must admit the name is really bad. I wonder if it will hurt sales.

I thought the gameplay looked fun but also the game looked pretty budget all things considered.

Not necessarily a bad thing, I just felt like it looked a bit off.

An interesting trailer and I like the premise, but I'm intrigued to see more gameplay. Housemarque never disappoint in that regard.

The gameplay will be tight, it's Housemarque after all, I didn't like the environments though, but I'll buy it to support them.

Between this, Demon's Souls, Ratchet, and Horizon, I don't know which one made me more hyped. Finally a big scale Housemarque game, it's going to be so fun.

I was surprised by this one, considering the devs it's almost a given it's gonna control like a dream and there aren't that many third person run and guns.

It looks like a 3rd person over the shoulder bullet hell type game. I'm in for anything Housemarque. Glad to see them approach storytelling in a new way.

This is interesting, it gives me "all you need is kill/edge of tomorrow" vibe with the death loop

Returnal, exactly what people will be doing by bringing this game back to Gamestop!

Err, nah, looks interesting but a weird name.

That looked really good and creepy as hell near the end when the protagonist started getting... altered.

Feels a lot like Prey Mooncrash. The name is terrible though, smirked when I saw it
