Be thankful for Returnal , finally a dark mature unique non-mainstream yet non-indie feeling game with unforgiving non-hand holding challenge that's not Souls-related. Very rare In this era.

@Pards S Roguelite sorta games like this can take a long time depending on individual skills and a varying amount of luck. Typically when you see a run in this kind of game you’re looking at an optimal run and/or somebody very skilled. You can get to Hyrule Castle and beat Ganon in an hour or two (even less than that if you know some tricks like launching yourself with Stasis), but that doesn’t mean BotW is a 2 hour game.

The absolute level of “hmm alien ass technology guess I’ll just stick my hand in it.” “Oh an tentacle ass bug on the ground has latched on to my arm? Its cool I’ll leave it there “ Is mind boggling
Watched the whole thing over two nights. It was like watching a film. Superb stuff- thanks. But for anyone watching, this isn’t the final ending. There’s more to it. It’s a truly remarkable story linked to Greek mythology, loss, madness etc. There are a few good explanation videos on UA-cam.
Yahtzee put it best when he said that this game's rougelite nature is just a sneaky way to not spend time banalncing it,and that it's mostly spite that drives him to finish.
Thank god for no motion blur on this game, especially how quickly he moves. I’ve never played this game so I’m having a hard time even understanding what is going on with the speed he plays. I’d be slowly creeping through this entire game. Unreal!!!
The first time I've played, I also took my time to appreciate the beautiful enviroments. However at some point when you restart a cycle or do another run (new game plus for like the 5th time or so...), you will highly appreciate how fast this game is.
what do you mean? This is not his first time playing the game... if you die once you are back to the beginning, he had tons of practice to do this in one go. to be honest, I've played the game for 10 hours and i move faster than him sometimes cause of all the times i've had to play through the same shit again and again.
@@coxmanbgg I mean what I said. He moves fast. I’ve never played the game so I have no idea what happens. From the other comments it seems like 5 hours to finish is pretty fast. It’s pretty obvious this isn’t his first time or the title would say, first play through.
@11:08 killing that enemy that's obviously intended to kill first time players just to be immediately killed by malfunction after scanning the item that enemy dropped is hilarious and also the most Returnal thing ever.
I couldn’t really get into this game when it came out. But I started DeadCells about 6 months ago and it’s now the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen
I tried this game, I really did but it drove my nuts so thank you for this. I will say it's a damn crazy and one of the most original innovative games I've seen in a while
All these clowns on here acting like they can beat this game and 5 hours or somehow its a short game. Its a Rouge like with great gameplay and takes anywhere from 20 to 50 for most players.
There is nothing I don't like about this game presentation. I'm a freelance writer and this video usually runs in the background while I'm working. Our gaming styles are very similar when I watched it the first time I felt very much like you were emulating the same things I would have done, really interesting, appreciate your efforts.
@@bhest... yeah its hard but believe me patience is the key. Make sure to change settings. Dead zone nearly 0, dodge with R3 is better then square. Annoying are some middle bosses. Make sure you grab an astronaut and extra health before the first Boss fight. After that things get more handy
@@Markus-GuerillaGames i had more issues after the first boss (especially the desert, where i gave up). Scarce resources (almost no health to be found) with much heavier enemies. Died from the freaking first sentient second time and back to square one in first biome at ship. FOR FUCKS SAKE. am not playing returnal ever again
I usually give 1-3 seconds per log/note for viewers to pause in my gameplays. Though in this one, I wanted to keep my finger muscles active for better precision. Give me a timestamp so I can adjust my future gameplay better :)
It also reminds me of metroid. Woman in a space suit arrives on a space ship. Finds an extinct lost civilization on a foreign planet. Runs into nasty and hostile aliens. She has a map layout and a space suit layout. Also looking for suit repairs. She shoots her way through the aliens in hopes of completing her mission and leaving safely.
not sure if it's my version or yours... but damn!!!! you got like 5x more green healing drop then me, i have 5x more shield ennemies to fight... lot of small room with 5-6 ennemies to fight at same time, almost never blue door rooms,... i have big mini-boos everywhere, 90% of the time i pick a violet healing or damage stuff it's damage,.... etc... your version seam way easier then 90% of my runs lol
@@TheSanctionextremisit has a learning curve for sure, this game sat away for months on my library but then i decided to pick it up again and am playing through it rn. It’s the most fun Ive had in a while, you just gotta be patient
And the seasons don’t fear the reaper, neither does the wind sun or the rain, and we can be like they are come on baby, don’t fear the reaper, baby take my hand, don’t fear the reaper, we can learn to fly, don’t fear the reaper, baby I’m your man La la la la La la la la
Honestly, for this game I kinda wish the attacks were melee and counter-based. Instead of guns you learn more and more countering abilities. Like say absorbing a few shots to sling them back at a foe, creating a downward slice that parts projectiles before launching you in for a devastating strike, having opportunities near a boss or enemy's very low lifebar to execute them (literally just for flair even), opening a small precision portal to send enemy projectiles back at them, etc etc. I'm a bit sad now the game is gunplay.
3:23:29 In this part, there are big branches that are blocking the path. How can I put them away? I walkthrough the entre map and eliminate the enemies. What can I do?
My entire Watch Dogs Legion series is in 2160p60 HDR. UA-cam HDR support is bad atm and any touch ups on the video automatically cause it to break and only show green screen. Waiting for them to fix this.
Most people understand it wrong: Once you beat a boss of a level, you can always speedrun that level into the next one. The access point to the next level is almost everytime random. I've even had runs where the access point to the desert was right at the begining. At the begining of every level you'll find an item that boosts your weapon damage accordingly to the level of the enemies on the current map. And you'll find permanent upgrades: the blade for melee which is strong as fu, a grapling hook that will unlock new secret areas and shortcuts to get faster trough levels (with the grapling hook you can acces level 3 directly from level 1) and other upgrades. Once you've reached level 4, you will always start from there. In level 5 you'll find an permanent upgrade with which you can acces level 6 directly from level 4. Also the more you use weapons, the stronger they get and eventually they unlock very powerful passive abilities which make the guns very powerful. These passive abilities are also permanent. Lastly the special currency Ether will also stay after you die, giving you the opportunity to buy items right at the begining of a run. So the game is imo very fair to the player. The problem is that people dont know all this stuff and raged blindly on social media how hard this game is. Seriously I had more trouble in every Souls game than in this game. And with the latest update they included a save option anyway and a fancy photo mode. So now is the best time to play this gem (for me its Game of the Year)
No, the game is divided into areas, with the boss being the dividing line between them. Past the boss, a new area starts. For example, you gave the example of the desert. After you defeat the first boss, you will be in the desert area. Until you defeat the desert boss and go to the third area, every time you die, you start over from the beginning of the desert. And so on.
@@joaovitorffreitas2626 not true completely. Yes you do start back at biome 1 but you only have to fight each boss once. Then you get a metroid esque power up to use as a shortcut. There is a hard checkpoint after 3rd biome so you either start each run at 1 or 4 depending on Act you are in.
My dream would be a Megaman game with this kind of gameplay, It fits the style but in 3D Come to think of It, this game also looks Very similar to How Metroid could look like being a Modern 3D game

How is your hollowseeker turned into tachyometer before meeting the nemesis? So you combined the splitted gameplay into a full game. Noice
