Thank you for this, i'm several years late to the party but have decided that I'm not putting myself through hell trying to beat this game. I'll just enjoy watching this instead and save myself hours of suffering :)
Love how Selene is obsessing over the White Shadow and the tower and losing her mind screaming at ghosts. Ma'am you've been on this planet for 16 minutes.
I played Returnal at launch. Couldn’t stand it, it was too hard. Years later I gave it another shot and I absolutely love it. Best PS5 exclusive in my opinion. The controls are so tight it’s unreal.
What i dont like about this game is that after a dozen or so runs i realized that 90% of the time you are better off to just go past enemies. Like you would in a speedrun. Thats not why i play games. That said, this is pretty amazing.
@@izenbice hi, I actually no-lifed this game and completed act 2 now. I would say it's a case of choosing your battles at the start of the run, but definitely try and kill as many as you are capable of handling to get the obolites and drops. don't inspect the dead scouts unless you're ready for a really hard fight. also, some 'treasure rooms' you teleport to can actually randomly spawn a mini-boss & fuck you up 🥲
@@three_seashells bet, thanks for the reply. Bro I inspected the scout and about shit myself, was not expecting a boss lmao. I beat the first boss last night on the 3rd try (like 5 hours in) and just got to the mars biome. I'm pretty trash at video games like this but I'm like determined to beat it ya know. Feels like you get better and better each run.
@@izenbice i also wanna reply to this, nice to know peeps are still playing this game lol. So i just beat act 2 a few mins ago. Wanna say that fighting all enemies does indeed have its perks, but it’s not completely necessary. This game is great because pretty much everything in it is all about risk. Me personally? I don’t run from fights so I blast everything in sight 😂
Maybe I missed this but is this speed run being done with the most current updates? I know the developers had gotten rid of some of the previous speed running tricks with their later patches. Potentially due to the IGN speed run video they were involved in.
Fuck!!!!! How do you make that jump so advanced? I am also an experienced player but I don't know what that jump is like? What button do I have to press on the dualsense?
i wondered about that too. i noticed that whenever they dash, the melee cooldown activates as well but slightly delayed. so i would guess its a quick input of one after the other?
What I hate about this game is that it kinda feels like you do it for nothing. An the end Selene is just like “yeah, I deserve this”, and nothing happens. I think it’s a good game but not for me tbh.
I guess I got lucky. I died twice to the first boss, happened to get a random player to join me and help me out. Then we died in the second boss. I died a second and third time on the second boss. I got some leech bullets and I beat the second boss and continued to beat the third and fourth in the same run
I knew this game would be too easy after seeing so many people complain thst the very first level is too hard. I uninstalled after making it past the third area boss without dying on my very first attempt. Just too boring.
Took me 6 weeks to beat this game. Amazing run.

The beauty in the game is those hours of hell and suffering, which makes it more rewarding in the end :)
It aint even hard its pretty easy it just looks intimidating
That's why no one will remember your name
god I love this game with a passion. Cannot wait for Housemarque‘s next title
I would love to have something just like this, I miss the dreadbound already
@@kadoman0same here. I m completely fine with next title being similar. It's like no other.
Any idea what would be their next game?
@@alexanderdigkas7429 Not at all, but it's confirmed that it's not gonna be a sequel.
I would love to see Returnal and Chorus combined in one game with actually variable progression.
I just started this game, and watching this speed run made me realize I don't stand a chance.
Excellent run, this is even better than what the devs reacted to.
Love how Selene is obsessing over the White Shadow and the tower and losing her mind screaming at ghosts. Ma'am you've been on this planet for 16 minutes.
Lmao 😂😂

EXACTLY my story 😂 I even ended up making it through the Derelict Citadel without dying and beating Nemesis without dying! Fantastic game!!
Also best haptic vibration in PS5
0:49 disrespected tf out of Selene’s body 😂
God this is making me wanna replay this. I already got the platinum trophy for it but I may have to dive back in.
Love that you're still playing this amazing game. Nice work.
It took me 9 hours to reach the nine minute mark 😂😂😂
When you are actually the final boss 😸

I have only got 2/3 hours so far, but is this true? Don't you need the adrenaline stacks and currency drops
@@three_seashells yo im also 2/3 hours in, i've heard you do actually want to kill all the enemies for stam / items. Is that the case?

How he defeated phrike made me feel so stupid😂
I can't figure out how he managed to hold Phrike in place that!!!!
did anyone tried this out in 2024? Maybe they patched it and this tactic is not possible anymore (Phrike)
How on ATROPOS did you manage to hold Phrike in place like that?
one of the best speedruns I've ever seen
The only thing I hate about speedruns is that make everyone else stupid at how we suffered.
This game looks phenomenal!
Maybe I missed this but is this speed run being done with the most current updates? I know the developers had gotten rid of some of the previous speed running tricks with their later patches. Potentially due to the IGN speed run video they were involved in.
What a beautiful game, the environment remiinds me of Quake 2
Looks like it is a developer walkthough... Pretty nice...

This should be 20m views. This run is exceptional 😊
How ironic that the duration is virtually the same as a Super Metroid speedrun
Such a slept on game. My GOTY when it came out.
Your play inspired me. Maxing your resource and health at first and second level then rush to meet the boss without beating others.
I Hope Metroid Prime 4 looks at least this good.
It won't....
Mate you are a legend 😮
I'm beyond impressed.
Returnal is fun it needs a sequel or a spiritual sequel.
No way to make that jump at 17:01, tried many times the same way. Update?
How do you move jumping like that using a ps5?
holy fuck i would totally die in that biome boss jesus christ.
Like a box of chocolates....
Gives me the same vibes that Marathon by Bungie Studios did.
i respect this, gamer for sure
I wish they add more biomes.
Bro you shredded Nemesis. I wanted to see how you handled it with low stats and you only got hit once.
i forgot about this game and will be getting it after my cigarette lol
Couldn't finish this game, died way too many times I had to ditch it.
You make it look so easy
That was so fun
Can someone please explain how’s he’s moving/jumping like that
Dash+melee+jump
@@shashankbhan4046 not working bro, are you playing controller or mouse kb
@@jvhzillv169 mouse+keyboard, you don't have to press them together. You have to dash then jump then melee. It's a command in a quick succession
@@shashankbhan4046 will it work using controller tho? That’s what I’m using unfortunately
@@jvhzillv169 yeah, those ps5 guys do it on the controller
Amazing run.
How u do u do jump+dash in a same time?
dash - melee - junp
I love des game too
but This is sooo crazy. Crazy crazy crazy
never seen Something Like This
I need hours, but I get everything
😂😂🎉🎉 respect
Very nice run 👍
Bro was THIS 👌🏻 CLOSE👌🏻 To dying TWICE!!! Against Ixion😂 And he STILL pulled out this world record speedrun 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
great job

Hardest game ever made. Really sucks cause it was becoming my all time favorite at launch but only got to chapter 3
Lol. Act 2 is 3x harder.
Took me serious stress and multipe tries and hrs to beat Ophion. I feel stupid after he beat him in under a minute.😅
wow amazing
Look interesting, except for the protago ists whole "bad thesaurus in place of a personality" schtick.
You eres un pro yo apenas llegue 4
Pantalla
my dad maked returnal
That's awesome!!! I know you're telling the truth, too, because I can tell you have a Finnish name!
Sooo good
I guess I got lucky. I died twice to the first boss, happened to get a random player to join me and help me out. Then we died in the second boss. I died a second and third time on the second boss.
I got some leech bullets and I beat the second boss and continued to beat the third and fourth in the same run
Bruh for real less than an hour.. I feel a type of way lol
My favorite weapon is gun poison
Is much op for me 😁😁
The ng+ runs have huge views and they are so boring. Like how is a movement-only 3:50 run entertainment? BORING.
This however, is impressive
😳😳😳
Nice
Crakc
Being a loop game ruined it. Because traversing this world while exploring would've been a great immersion
I disagree. I think thats the novelty of this game. It intoduced a new genre.
Rougelite is in nowhere new
I knew this game would be too easy after seeing so many people complain thst the very first level is too hard. I uninstalled after making it past the third area boss without dying on my very first attempt. Just too boring.
Oh all hail the god gamer 😂
Games fun as to play
This game is too easy and too short
