Got to the first boss. Died on its final health bar. I'm really not having any fun with this one. Lol. The rooms have zero variety and you see repeats all the time. So it makes exploring boring. I don't find the gunplay entertaining at all (more going through the motions).
This is probably the first big whiff of the gen for me. Maybe I can sell it to recoup some of the cost.

-You can run through the first biome, don't bother with the boss. just getting as many hostiles, health upgrades as you want. The earlier the run, the less risk there is.
-Immediately after going through the portal to the 3rd biome, in one of the first rooms you'll have pickups that will increase your health, proficiency and other stuff.
-From the shortcut to the boss room is pretty short if you've already attempted the first boss. But you can explore get even more stuff if you want.
Going through 2 whole biomes is overkill and not needed.
tips for third boss
-have a long range auto gun, either the hollow seeker or carbine(without the high caliber skill)
-best alt fires would be the horizontal/vertical barrage, killshot or blast shell
-for the first two phases, you don't need to sprint to avoid the projectiles, if you strafe, they'll never actually touch you, dash left to right for extra safety
-for the third phase, if it's giving you issues, just stay as far away as possible, the attacks will more than likely miss you and there's no distance penalty for damage.
Correct, it's for the biome you're in, once you leave it it's gone.
If you are talking about those reward chambers marked with a yellow sprite, then I got clapped by those two. Two times I went in there at the beginning of a run, thinking I'd get something sweet and then got destroyed. The third time I dropped into one of those I almost popped a vein, and then turned around to realize you can actually just warp out of there before the enemy spawns.
Because if I want to play another game (say a MP game because my friends are online) then I literally can't switch games without ending my run. That's a huge problem. I shouldn't have to plan my entire night around when I play Returnal.
Finally beat the first boss today. Piledriver is completely OP :D
Whats the best strategy for heading to the second biome ? Just do a complete run of the first to power up or head straight to the second one when you find the portal ?
Also if someone wants to collect a lot of corpses add me on PSN :D

This game is an absolute beast.
I'm getting my ass whooped as it seems my muscle memory isn't building very fast at all. I'm loving it, though. The gameplay and the atmosphere and the pleasure to f learning tidbits along the way. Little startegoes coming to mind at a regular pace. This is great.

I'm just scared that it will be hard. I haven't seen it.
on the plus side, it sounds like checkpoint saves are coming soon.
and I could totally see them patching in some sort of difficulty level thing. Nex Machina was perfect for that.
I would imagine the last thing these guys want is for a boatload of used copies from frustrated players to show up on the market and suppress overall sales.
Whew think it was my 4th run but I got through the the first boss. Got wrekt shortly after in the 2nd biome cuz I had no health and got a malfunction that fucked my healing and I forgot I needed to do melee kills to clear it. Also thank goodness for the clone/checkpoint thing. I had the boss pattern mostly down but died on my first try but luckily I used the cloning thing and barely got the boss the 2nd time around.
I don't even know what biome I'm in anymore. I beat the fourth boss but
now I'm underwater? Previously I was in a snow area but didn't fight a boss there.....and I've been going deeper and deeper with no end in sight. I mean I got the abyssal key but I swear if I die and get a restarted ALLLLL the way back to fourth biome in the jungle, I'm gonna be annoyed.
This shit is FUCKING FAR.

Grounded the first biome; went to the desert and was stacked in terms of my build. I managed to beat the thing with the sword and then died in the next room. Goddamn this is addicting
Yeah I think I agree. I grinded the whole first biome again and went to the 2nd, it helped a tiny bet, but I don't think it's necessary. Takes too much time too imo

First of all sorry for my english it is not my native language. I really love the game. I beat the first 3 boss and now i am in the 4th biome. The game is a little blurry or is it just me? It is like 1080p but not that blurry just slightly. Anyone else having the same issue?
Oh, it's hard. I'd still take a refund the second Sony offered.
You get the equipment to go through the red waste after the 4th biome
Those I'm still inconsistent with, sometimes they don't stagger as much
What I miss most from other roguelikes is seeing my damage in subsequent runs be obscenely high and oneshot everything at the start, the daily challenge was everything I wanted from new runs after death
After getting to the second Biome (and dying on the boss) what should I focus on doing on new runs?
Welp, just hit the door bug. I had changed outfits before doing the Daily, and the first door wouldn't open. I realized I never hit Restart Cycle to fully test it. Talk about instant Karma. 😄
this is simply not possible for me. i had 7 runs since i died on the third boss and getting to the "shortcut" in biome 1 that leads into biome 3, takes fucking ages. it always at the very end of the biome and i am swarmed with strong enemies. every fucking run.
Adds damage is my guess. I bum-rushed through some enemies and they died instantly.
Same, lol. They are SO annoying.
heavy upscaling. base res is 1080p which is TAA'd to 1440p then checkerboarded to 4k.
or something like that according to DF
I just watched the video. That explains it. So it is not my ps5 or tv.
Piledriver? I've been playing for over 20h, still didn't beat the first boss ( yet had runs for over 2h) and only weapons I'm finding except starting sidearm are:
Maybe I'm just that unlucky with Returnal rng loot system and it's time to restart console and game 😂.
Tho looks like I'm having luck with game stability.
I didn't quit the game since first time launching it at midnight 30th of April 😛 Been suspending my PS5 (Digital Edition if that matters)all the time when I had to do some chores or take care of kids, using pre-order suits and game didn't crash randomly to dashboard yet (after over +20h of playtime).
i tried going directly to the second biome without any upgrades and it was….rough
Now I understand the complaints about no save game.
Already finished Act 1 and each of my runs turns around 3-4 hours right now. This is quite large chunk of playtime for non serious players.
And to be honest, I would love to jump over some CoD with my friends for some spare time, or something in between to rest but.... I won't throw away 4 hours of progress.
But seriously.... this game is amazing. It makes me feel better than Doom Guy evading all those glorious effects that I would love to hug but FUCK THOSE, IT AINT GONNA KILL ME!!!

Honestly the second biome enemies are easier to farm. The third biome always starts you off at the start with level 9 prof. Item, a weapon, and a heal item. So jumping from 1 to 3 seems fine until you realize how fucked you can get when a door locks you to clear the entire room with a mini boss, 12 flying kamikaze assholes with rockets, and rush down fat guys. All while a green pillar is healing them if you don't take it out, and the mini boss is doing a strobe show to destroy your anus.
Otherwise level 3 would be manageable as you can run past a lot of stuff to just get to the boss and fight it. Boss isn't particularly hard, but his third phase just takes for God damn ever to do finish which leads to more chances to get hit.
I'm curious is a better path to level 3 success to farm level 2 ?
Uhhhh...I guess I beat it??? I'm looking at the credits.
Man.
Three things.
First off: if I had discovered the pylon earlier in the game this shit would've been a cake walk. The gun took me through consecutive bosses on one run. I'm staring at the credits from the same run I'm speaking of. It's honestly the best gun in the game and I'm surprised it hasn't been nerfed.
Second: if players had known the spaceship heals you I'd guarantee nowhere near as many posters would be hitting a wall so quick in the game. Shit they don't tell you. Amazing how easy the tides turn in your favor when you are SET UP. I cleared out the beginning biome and kept coming back to heal. Then extended my integrity with the remaining green items, and went through the following biomes with relative ease.
Third: In Biome 3 those fucking ships that shoot a barrage at you were hands down the most I died, and the most trouble I've had this entire game. That is literally where I died most and got the most frustrated. Not even the boss, no, that shitty ass enemy. Everything past that? It wasn't bad, imo.
With all that being said. I'm starting my new run now. And for people who are struggling: heal at the spaceship and take advantage of the green items that are left on the field. Oh, and use the goddamn pylon!!!
10/10 game.

You have to find the Promethean Insulator I think.
I have no idea where it is. I can't find anything on google lol
Does era want to help settle a debate with me and my wife? She says the opened door icons on the map are red. I think they are grey.
some friends have said purple and red. Am I crazy, they are grey right?
