this game I beat yesterday, it is one of the best game I played in a long time, so underrated, the movement, the shooting, the weapons... so satisfying .... I use the lobber on that boss twice, and both was smooth sailing...great game
So far I got stuck the longest on the second boss, because I wasn’t taking the time to run all the way through the second biome and level up. Because I’ve started taking more time to level up I beat the 3rd and. 4th bosses on my second try. Now trying to make it to the 5th boss.
Of all the games I’ve purchased, this was definitely the best value for money. I bought it for £20 in GAME store pre owned. The brand new copy was £60. I was sceptical and cautious at first. Thought there had to be a catch. I couldn’t understand why none of the staff bought it for themselves. I could literally of bought it and sold it at CEX and made an instant profit. The disc was perfect and I’ve been having a blast with the game. Installed without any issues. Tested the suspension save feature and it worked without any problems. Best bargain I’ve found in a long while. Whilst all my games are relatively new and I’ve only just sampled the others, I can see me spending a lot of time playing this game.
Agreed about the drones, those things 🤬 Went one time to an edge to pick up an extra sylphium vial and a group of them basically wrecked all my health and my run
Nemesis is the hardest the boss in this game. If you can beat him you'll have no problem beating the game. The last boss Ophion is actually one of the easier one.
The game was easy to me :D I finished the game in just one run (no deaths) That took me 1 and a half day, cause I couldn't sit constantly all day long But, yes! The game is amazing and yet the best for PS5 controller. Feels absolutely amazing on hands!
After 60 hours of play and 115 deaths in my first playthrough, and a lot of hours spent on the DLC, I can get through Returnal now with only 3 deaths. I haven't played any of the *Souls games, but if you can't do that with the *Souls games, then Returnal isn't harder.
I love this game so much. But I don't understand people who say that this game is hard. I don't reckon myself a very skilled gamer but I beat every boss without dying (sometimes with the help of the reconstructor but I didn't need to start from the beginning, and this death doesn't "count" as death in the game). But I am struggling with Demon's Souls. I don't even understand how can people compere these two...
I don't like roguelikes at all because they make you play parts of the game over and over that you've already perfected. This makes those sections so routine that they feel like a chore because there's very little challenge at that point. Though I have played Returnal and I loved it. Restarting the game when you die did annoy me but the shooting mechanics are so on point and the game is so meticulously well designed that it felt like less of a chore than other roguelikes. Why I would've preferred to just go back to the start of the biome you died on, the game at least lets you restart at the half way point once you get passed it. Great game!
@@Roach22 Agreed. I’ve started playing Returnal now and it’s really fun. The gameplay feels so great that even tho dying can be annoying, it’s not so bad. Idk if it’s a game I’ll ever actually finish, but it’ll always be fun to come back to every now and then!
@@invisAG I persisted and finished the game. Once you get used to the mechanics and understand that you need to spend time building up Selene so she can take a beating, then the game gets easier. My advice is always keep moving and use your grappling hook during fights (when you get it). Best items are the Astronaut, large silphium vials, damage siphons. Best weapons are the electropylon driver and the Hollowseeker (with serrated projectiles, portal beam and phasing rounds). Oh and save up 6 Ethers for the Reconstructors too, very useful save point to avoid the roguelike sting!! haha Good luck!!
This game isnt that hard. All you have to do is keep moving. Dont stop moving even when you are shooting. Learn to dodge correctly and anytime there is a boss fight.. Keep moving in a circle or back and forth! Again dont stop moving back and forth. Gain as much health as possible. Easy. Also dont play it on PC people. It was made to be played on PS5 with the dualsense controller which has AMAZING and I mean amazing dualsense features. One of the best games with it.
I've done 2 bosses so far,I've not played it for a while had it for about 2 months but know when I get back onit I'm gona be like, Why the hell have I not been playing this, It's amazing game, I've also started demons souls about 3 weeks ago naa that game don't do it for me
@@andrethevegan_ I just realised, this video made me buy returnal, it came in today and I played some 2 hours of it, died to phrike in second stage. Thanks for showcasing how beautiful this game is.
It all depends on your build. Need to find a detachable parasite on 2nd Biome and an Astronaut. I went in 1 time into this fight last night with half health and almost got him.
I actually feel like rougue like games are harder and more punishing than souls games. For souls, the map is always the same so you can study it and memorize everything. Plus, most bosses have shortcuts you can unlock, so basically if your main goal is to kill a boss you don't need to go through the entire map again to get there. Souls games also have way more permanent upgrade and choice. As long as you make it to the bondfire with souls, you get permanent health and stat increases and you can always work with the weapon you like instead of grinding till you find it. While both type of games utilize a get good mentality, souls is way more forgiving and rewarding for the time you put in (in my opinion). i understand a lot of people like the rougue like genre but personally I think it is too harsh for the time you put on (especially since I have work now and very limited time to play). I am currently on biome 3 and will continue to play it though, cuz I am invested in the story and overall it is just a really high quality game.
Though I think the last boss was the weakest, I also beat this first try (though I popped an astronaut figurine), but the second boss was hell, I took like 20 tries to beat it.
Meh… i finished the whole thing including Act 3 with 9 deads, definitely died more in demon Souls, although I didnt find that game particularly difficult either
@@andrethevegan_ broski, you can call cap all you want. I didnt beat the game first try, but i beat every boss first try, okay no i died once to phrike cuz i didnt know what to expect. Like i mostly died ti flying exploding drones. Beat the game in under 20hrs and i also died couple of times on purpuse to play longer. I know theres a bunch of chalanges and the tower, but main story was way too easy
I played this game on PC, i'm not a very skilled player, but this is game is very easy to beat, i beat all bosses in first time. The game is not bad btw, actually is very fun, really very fun, but it is too much easy unfortunately. I kinda like roguelikes in general, Risk of Rain 2 its a similar game, i took 60 hours to finally beat (and has only 5 stages, Returnal has 6). Enter the Gungeon until today i've not beated, for me is impossible, but this game unfortunately is too much easy. Most bosses you only have to walk in one direction and shoot, most bosses attacks actually never hits you.
Returnal is way harder than dark souls!!! Biome 3 alone is harder than dark souls. I beat returnal but it wasn't fun. It's pure stress because if you die you lose everything. The game is the most unbalanced (and often unfair) game I've ever played. And I'm sure most of the players hate this game. Next housemarque game will be lead on the shelf.
I know where you're coming from, perhaps the genre is not for you. I have similar feelings sometimes. However, I find this to be a very well made game in terms of graphics, sound design, world and enemy design, and intriguing story. While some might say it would lose the charm, I would have enjoyed it a great deal more if it was actually like souls just with guns, with upgrades that are permanent and maps that are static but masterfully designed.

@@andrethevegan_ try Rollerdrome on ps5 if you like 3D bullet hells; another great gem.
@@alexanderramirez158 I appreciate the recommendation i'll check it out tonight
@@andrethevegan_Not only than Demon souls but almost than every other game in history.
Ellen Degenerate as the MC ruined this game. It could've been so much more popular.😂
Fuck this hard ass game
🤣🤣🤣 they made it easier

It really is an underrated game for sure
just finished act 3, had a lot of fun playing the game but also a lot of stress lol, it's satisfying when u finally beat it!
It was such a fun game i might have to go back and replay it.
this and cuphead are very fun/stressful games, very satisfying when you finally beat a boss, but on the path you probably wanna give up
Got it done first try. I was so hyped.
Housemarque is also the one who made the PS4 exclusive, Resogun which is so much fun
i'll have to check that out

yeah it's definitely smart to take your time to get as strong as possible before the boss.

Love this game. However would love an additional difficulty level.
Um, have a go at the Tower. There you go.
You can actually set difficulty levels with auto-aim setting.
This game is fucking hard
it's definitely challenging at first
Agreed about the drones, those things 🤬
Went one time to an edge to pick up an extra sylphium vial and a group of them basically wrecked all my health and my run
lol they suck so bad
This game is so unique. I love it. I can play it 1000 times to the end , it will never get boring.
i agree it's underrated
Platinum trophy holder baby!
Goin into boss fights, you need high proficiency good gun plus decent amount of integrity plus a health or revival consumable
lol this was 2 years ago when this game first came out.
Nemesis is the hardest the boss in this game. If you can beat him you'll have no problem beating the game. The last boss Ophion is actually one of the easier one.
yeah he was the hardest boss for me by far
love ur videos man
I really appreciate that.
I love this game, it's the first game I ever aimed to get platinum. Still working on it tho
it's a great game for sure
In the same boat as you with Nemesis. Tried Hollowseeker on first try and was doing no damage, complete wipe.
Same broski
One of the best games I've ever played!
I agree definitely one of my favorites.
Guys this is coming to PC soon is it worth getting full price?
Absolutely one of the best games of 2022 highly underrated they have made it easier though since when i beat it.
@@andrethevegan_ easier?
What do u mean?🤔
@@Gabensy checkpoints and such
One of the best boss fights ever tbh
i agree
have you tried hades, first rougelike i played and that brought me to returnal, then sifu
No i haven't checked that one out but i have heard about it i will give it a try.
The game was easy to me :D
I finished the game in just one run (no deaths)
That took me 1 and a half day, cause I couldn't sit constantly all day long
But, yes! The game is amazing and yet the best for PS5 controller. Feels absolutely amazing on hands!
I‘m stuck at the second boss but It is more enjoyable than Demons Souls for me. That game makes me angry
yeah returnal was actually harder for me to beat than Demon souls was but i used the magic class in demon souls lol.
I finally managed to beat the second boss but biome 3 is only pain.
I think I should restart DS with the magic class too. I'm really bad as a knight.
@@cyb3rh4nd Yeah playing as magic is definitely easy mode. I'm doing the same on elden ring
GJ. Nice vid.
Thank you
This game is so good. I am on the 5th biome and beat the Nemesis boss on my first try.
damn first try nice
After 60 hours of play and 115 deaths in my first playthrough, and a lot of hours spent on the DLC, I can get through Returnal now with only 3 deaths.
I haven't played any of the *Souls games, but if you can't do that with the *Souls games, then Returnal isn't harder.
wait returnal has DLC??!!
How were you able to buff that much before the boss? That looks insane!
I went through every door possible and got as many upgrades as i could without dying to make it to him pretty well buff

Agree, demons souls for me is so hard to the point its just not fun anymore lol Tottally different gamez
This game looks fun. Was never really a fan of rogue like/ time loop type games, but I might have to check this one out
It's a really good game they made it a bit easier since it was first released but i say give it a try.

Can't beat the 3rd phase of that fight
Great game.
It's solid for sure
First tried this guy
that's solid this guy was tough for me
Nemesis is very nice compared to those A-hole mini bosses in biome 6.
Beautiful boss fight
Awesome game!
it really is
Still the Best expirience on ps5
i agree
No where near harder than demons souls. Nemisis was one of the easiest bosses. Honesly Kena bridge of spirits on expert spirit guide is harder
Uhhh…. Nemesis was pretty easy. Just use the rot lobber on his ass
Lol this video is really old when the game first came out.
I don't know about the game being harder than Demon Souls. To me Returnal is much easier than From Software games.
They made it easier this is from when it first came out.
Definitely a good game
super solid game
No it isn't, it's actually more fair than any fromsoft game ever was.
?
Nemesis is easy.. The first boss is the shit!
Bro I beat the boss at first try
🧢
weakest boss for me, 1st try easy, 2 biome boss was much more of a challenge to me

If you didn't have bloodborne as your profile picture i wouldn't believe you lol.
meh, 2nd 3rd and 4th bosses are easy, you can beat them in the first run. Phrike is more difficult
game has been made easier lol
Click bait I wanted to see a challenge

It’s far easier than Demon’s souls.
maybe now but when it first came out returnal was a lot harder.
@@andrethevegan_Did they patch ?
