Returnal is a third-person shooter created by Housemarque and released by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2021 exclusively for PlayStation 5 and now is for PC. The game tells the Edge of Tomorrow inspired story of a lonely cosmonaut who lands on an alien planet and has to deal with many difficulties in this hostile environment.

Story

Selene’s ship crashes on an alien planet. And then it crashes again and again and again. The unknown land is inhabited by hordes of hostile aliens with whom the lonely survivor has to fight for her life. Continuing the journey is her most crucial goal because only discovering the secrets of an alien planet can help get her out of this dramatic situation. Unfortunately, the heroine returns after each death to the moment of the crash and has to start her journey anew. The environment and surroundings change each time, and Selene discovers that she is gradually losing her mind.

Gameplay

With each replay, the environment on the planet changes completely. For this reason, you will have to use entirely different found items each time. Don’t worry though, because the survival horror situation is not as dreadful as it might seem at first glance. While your game tactics will have to change, Selene will be provided with better and better skills each time she dies. Thanks to this, traversing the remains of an ancient civilization will become easier and even more exciting.

Grab your gun and throw yourself into the fire of a life-and-death battle! Explore the psychological limits of madness, develop your skills and put all the pieces of information together to break out of the time loop. The latest features of the console will allow you to experience Selene’s adventure to the fullest. Press the buttons intuitively to fire, experience the 3D sound on the headphones and change the shooting mode at any time.
