Returnal - Information Thread, update: Digital Foundry PC Port Review - "It's Good, But Could Be Great"

Recommended Posts

As a PSA and heads up, based on what I've been reading and the fact I'm still playing Nex Machina, it seems this game is going to be hard as fuck. I can't even beat Nex Machina on the Normal difficulty setting after playing it for like two months straight somehow. Either way, saw a lot of tweets and previews mentioning that the game is really hard and there are no difficulty levels I think.

I didn't read any reviews just quotes. I had know idea this game was going to be that difficult. As I age my gaming skills have diminished greatly to the point I mostly play games on easy. If this doesn't even have difficulty settings that has me worried. 

 

However, if the game is fantastic I'm willing to take on the challenge like I did with Bloodborne a few years back. I never played the Souls games for the very reason of being intimidated by the difficulty. 

 

When I eventually get a ps5 I'll probably still give this game a shot because it looks really cool. I just hope I'm not overwhelmed and can't finish it because they didn't incorporate difficulty settings. Maybe if there is enough complaints they will patch difficulty settings in.

Just to be clear, I didn't post that to make some point about the game. I just know some people aren't into that kind of difficulty and trailers etc. don't particularly drive that point home. Just wanted to point it out so someone doesn't get screwed by a $70 purchase of a game that apparently is quite the ball-breaker.

The sound design in this is phenomenal by the way. On headphones it sounded like From Software does Metroid Prime. The rain even echoed as it hit the helmet in a covered area. Shit sounded incredibly atmospheric. 


So glad I have the platinum headset ready to go.

Yeah what I’m hearing about the difficulty now is massively turning me off on this game. If it was more like hades I could work with it but the “like” version of the genre is bad enough for me, but this just sounds like it’s designed for me to not enjoy it.

I might just have to actually try gamefly for this, I really want to see it, see what it’s about, how it plays etc, but I don’t think I really want to play it much. Maybe I’ll still pay the $70 and see if I get into it, but man they are killing my hype with these difficulty reports.
