Pretty cool video dude,I like your counters about randomness giving good arguments and comparisons, this game truly amaze me because is something fresh and unique, a triple A exclusive, rogue-like, bullet hell, fast paced, skill-based 3rd person shooter with metroidvania elements. Do you have any plans to revisit the game when new content, trophies and improvements are added based on the feedback of people from Housemarque's discord server? I think is awesome to see that housemarque listen and cares about the community's opinion (they dont listen to everything that is bullshit obviously lol). I saw a review from someone called Sophia Narwirz, idk what you think about her video.
Thanks for watching! :) Returnal is definitely one of my favorite games of the last couple of years. Housemarque did an incredible job for their first AAA title, and I'll be keeping tabs on them for whatever they make next. I don't have any plans to head back to the game unless Housemarque releases an expansion. I would love to get the platinum trophy, but the sheer randomness of unlocking scout logs doesn't appeal to me. I'm not a huge fan of those types of trophies/secrets. I've heard complaints that is bugged too, so I'm steering clear for now. I am slowly putting together research for a story analysis of Returnal, so in that sense, I'm still coming back to it. Whether or not I get around to creating a video on that will depend on how much free time I have outside of work and family. Videos take me a long time to put together haha
@@lordjlo817 nice! i will watch your analysis of the story when it comes out. I sure they will make quality life improvements and fix some bugs, you can see that they really care about Returnal and they want to make the game even better. i love how Returnal connects its gameplay with the story/narrative.
@@user-nx1rn3wm9z It definitely has an interesting way of presenting its story, and I feel a lot of people who play it won't see all it has to offer. There are some pretty good story analysis videos out there right now, so I'm doing research until I come up with something more original. I don't want put in the effort to say something someone else has already done. I'm sure I'll find something though. This game has a lot going on.
UPDATE: Housemarque has announced version 2.0! They are adding a photo mode, which is neat, but the big announcement is... SUSPENDING RUNS! That's right! The biggest critique of Returnal has now been rectified. This already amazing game is now even better. GO GET THIS GAME! th-cam.com/video/CmBcI_9Bui0/w-d-xo.html Returnal is a remarkable game that tested my resilience in the face of some brutal encounters. Having finished, I kind of wish it was harder because I was sad to have my experience end! :( If you've played Returnal, what did you think of the difficulty? Did the lack of save features hinder your ability to play? If you haven't played, does this seem like a game you'd pick up? Thank you for watching! Have yourself a good one!
Great game and great review. A rare instance where dying repeatedly for 20-30 hours left me wanting more. I know it was a great game for me because watching gameplay in the review makes me want to jump back in.
Thanks, bro! Putting the video together made me want to pick it back up, but I knew if I did that I wouldn't get any work done haha Truly a great game. I hope if they make a sequel there's co-op...
There's definitely an interesting learning curve to Returnal depending on the player and play style. I played fairly aggressively and leaned into high risk/high reward mechanics, which often resulted in aborted runs early in the game.

@@lordjlo817 I will say that a save feature would definitely get me back into grinding for a platinum
I had more deaths in biome 1 than any other.

@@lordjlo817 same. The most I ever recycled than my water bottles lmao
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching! 😁
Please make a full story breakdown.
It's on my list. I have a few videos ahead of it, but once those are done, I'll be working on it with earnest 👍🏻
