Returnal - Thrown For A Loop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Returnal is a fascinating blend of horror, bullet hell, and roguelike mechanics, as the galaxy's most carefree explorer takes full advantage of a time loop to shove her hand into as many unknown alien devices as possible in 30 minutes...

Jon trying to kill the regenerating monsters for like 2 minutes while a literal giant green tower heals them right in front of his eyes without him even realizing it, is simply amazing. Don’t change…
also he could have healed XD
Perception 10 moment
i don't get how anyone can be that bad
To be fair, there was a lot there to pay attention to for him not to notice.
I like how Jon is saying oubliettes instead of obolites.
Wallet full of dungeon prisons.
I was listening without really watching and got so confused! Like, he's picking up dungeon pits?
Maybe Ooblets?
Ooblets is a life sim game kinda like Stardew Valley + Pokemon where you farm, make friends, etc. The best bit is the "battles" which are card based dance-offs. It is chill and friggin adorable!
well oubliette is from the french oublier meaning forget, so maybe he thought he was relearning things he had forgotten?
Some CK2 trauma.
One generation from "Apollo-era" to "Psychodrama Samus" seems like a remarkably aggressive pace for the manned space program.
Must've been another Cold War.
More to the point: There weren't a whole lot of women astronauts in the Apollo era, given that the first one to join NASA was in 1978. There was the unofficial Mercury 13, but none of them were ever likely to fly (nor did any of them experience something that could be described as "the accident"). So something screwy is going on with the timeline in any case.
I love how the giant thing that took Jon a while to take down looked like the aliens from the movie Edge of Tomorrow.
honestly, any game that even attempts to explain why the character is coming back again and again already gets bonus points from me for effort. Gonna have to check this out now since Hades was one of my all time favorite games of recent time!
ok, so I never get a notification for polls so I post my vote for a Returnal livestream!
If that interests you then you should definitely get this. No spoilers but Returnal is one of the most intriguing narrative experiences in gaming.
@John jeez, there goes my moneys!!! lol
Jacob Geller did a fantastic video on the story of this game. Explaining just how deep the themes and metaphors go. "Returnal is a Hell of our own creation". Go watch if ya wanna know the story without the gameplay.
One of his best videos, which says a lot considering how amazing his video essays are in general.
One of my of my favourite content creators tbh
Couldn't click fast enough!! One of my all time favorite roguelites. It even got a friend of mine into gaming it's so bloody good!! I'd do terrible things to get a full series of this gem 😍
This is my game of the year and one of my favorite games of all time! Excited to see you playing and even more excited *I* finally get to play it now that it’s released on PC
Jon: Green means health.
Also Jon: Why aren't these enemies that all have green beams going to them taking any damage?! Better just keep shooting them!
the sound design in this game is incredible, btw - not sure you'd be ablet o appreciate it streaming
Glad you’ve shown this game some love! I was immersed by this, even platinumed it. Defo deserves a live stream!
Hope to see this on a future livestream...It looks like fun
Would love for Jon to do a full playthrough and discover how deep that rabbit hole goes. Also his thoughts on the intertwining mythology. Fyi, the beginning area is one of the trickier bits as you haven't really unlocked anything yet. But once you do, it is an awesome, trippy ride. Selene is the new Ripley
Such a fantastic game. Really surprised me as it’s not normally my kinda thing
I’ve not played this since it came out on PS5.I’m now off to install it again. Thank you.
This game is amazing. Was surprised when Jon didn’t play this when it first came out, glad he’s giving it a go.
Its because jon doesnt have a ps5 and its only just made its way to PC
@@redsargent1 Thought that might be the case. It’s too bad, because Returnal probably made the best use of the haptics in the PS5 controller imo.
@@redsargent1 Saddens me as a Finn how Finnish studios seem to "sell out" for exclusivity deals more often than not, Returnal was only on PS5, Remedy seems to be Epic's baby now, well at least some indies are multiplat
I'm not a fan of bullet hell games, but this looks more like a puzzle game with RNG. I'm interested.
Speaking of Metroid Prime. Any plans to play the remake on the channel?
Just posted today!
@@SkulkingSkullKidalready watched. Cheers though.
It's not a game I'm ever going to play, but it is good to see a game that set out to try something different. Not sure how well the open world 3D bullet hell roguelike mashup would work after a few hours, but yeah, in an industry that is in love with reboots, and annual sequels, at least it feels like its own thing.
@John Last year was a good one for quality games, wasn't it! Sadly I am limited by physiology to what games I can really play) to quote Fallout 4's Virgil "these hands are ridiculous, fine motor skills have gone to shit!"), this is why I love channels like this, where I get to have a taste of all different kinds of games. Besides, I am so far behind on releases, I am literally starting Skyrim properly for the first time (thankfully with lots of mods to help the useless old hands)! I really appreciate your comment, it's so good to hear from people who have spent a lot of time with a game!!
This is a pretty game and the lore is intriguing.
I'd love to see this as a livestream, its the perfect game for it!
O wow I just bought this today and now Jon’s playing it great day
This game looks absolutely incredible, visually. Very tempted to give this a go.
Excellent game, but be prepared for a difficult experience!
Protip: turn on autosprint so you don't have to press down the left stick all the time. Makes a big difference.
"nice and horrifying", good t-shirt idea.
Would love to see a livestream of this.
Gotta love the ability to showcase games!
not my usual type of game, but it looks interesting enough to give it a try anyway!
I've gotten to level 5 or 6 in returnal and the bosses get soo hard but sometimes you just get lucky on weapon drops and abilities and can just do super well when other times you just die in the first 5 min. Luckily once you beat the boss you don't have to refight it every single time but that being said sometimes they are worth fighting just for the loot they drop
I love blue oyster cult. So cool how this game contains it
What a pleasing game, not only is it really good looking, but also because it makes Jon panic, Nothing more pleasing than that. LOL
Would love to see Jon play more of this! Not sure its for me but i know i will laugh alot if he plays it!
I enjoyed this game. It does extreme difficulty the right way. It doesn't really feel hard even though it is. It just feels like normal gameplay.
This reminds me of like a mature Metroid prime.. not in rating but in theme..
It really is a pretty game. Beat it, took way too long
Livestream drinking game, drink when Jon cops it
The master finally got jon... he is always looking for the "green stuff"
Gives me risk of rain vibes in a way. Risk of Metroid if you will
Fan theory: this is actually the gritty remake of 90s boardgame Looping Louie
This game looks like it could be _really_ cool, so long as there is enough lore/story to break up the gunplay, and it doesn't get monotonous.
Ive only played the first hour or so, but there definitely seems to be a good deal or lore and story elements to keep me pushing on. I very quickly filled up a codex of lore already.
Keep on keeping on
FINALLY!!!
If you knew you would come back to life when you die wouldn't you be up for trying anything too?
most game breaking upgrade for your guns are regenerating bullets once you have those you just can't die. but you don't get them until the second biome lol
Jon, you absolutely have to check out rainworld, it is a game made just for you! It doesn't speak or explain stuff yet you have to observe and understand to push trough, give it a check I think you would really enjoy it.
Has Jon played Risk of Rain 2? It's pretty similar to this one.
I absolutely love this game.
Jon - you know, I bet there was some things you could have reacted to or commented on in those first few hours. Very atmospheric game, probably had some story in there.
For some reason I get Mass Effect Andromeda vibes from this. Feels oddly similar to Havarl.
alas I wasn't fast enough to recommend a ps5 controller for this game
was gonna do it in the patroncast submission thread but that was bumped back a week
I loved playing thru returnal, i haven't gone back to it since i got the platinum cause i needed a break (mainly from those floating world 6 Steppenwolf looking fucks that malfunction you with every hit) but this makes me wanna go revisit it
Great game, great choice :) thanks my true nerd
good vid
Day 964 of requesting Zoo Tycoon. On the one hand, she now has all the time she needs to explore the planet. On the other hand she can't exactly do all the fun Groundhog Day learning montages unless her ship came loaded with all the stuff she needs for assorted hobbies. On the OTHER other hand, she won't run out of oxygen now...
That big 1000, coming up...
There actually is some things you get to keep with you on your cycles. But it’s not as much as you’d like.
You think they’d take a hint after the first few hundred days….
@@wsconsn Well, I honestly just enjoy doing it
@@iain_nakada who cares about 1000? A much cooler number is coming up in 5 days, well technically 6 since there's no video Mondays.
More please
lol Jon dies to the ender dragons. Didn't Steve tell you? You don't go the The End without ladders!
Swapped guns don't despawn so you can always backtrack and pick up and old gun if the new one is terrible. My personal favoritte is the Hollowseeker.
"Groundhog Day Planet".
Or, indeed, "Edge of Tomorrow" planet. Those first monsters are mimics. I see what you're doing there! So they made a game that liberally borrows from a movie that wasn't based on a videogame but acts like it was...? This is really confusing.
Would Jon do a livestream of this?
I vote Yes.
oh my
I hope you or markiplier do a playthrough of this because it’s really cool and seems like an actually fun new game but the kind just like doom and high on life that would frustrate me a lot
Oh man oh hecc, this is a very tragic game but it requires actually being good at it to see the story and the twist at the final level >^>
I swear there was a series where used to send people to die in an oubliettes? Lol
This game feels familiar
glad you try this stuff so Idon't have to be disappointed
Oh my I'm gonna need a new gpu
As someone who loved Tower of Guns and Mothergunship, this looks like it could be quite good, if not quite as ludicrous in the bullet-hell direction.
I think I'd be more interested if there was a bit more of a colour palette. It's a bit too dreary, and I think my eyes would be tired after 30 or 40 minutes.
I could have sworn you've played this before
I think this may make an entertaining stream :)
Not a fan of this game but will watch the entire video to support Jon and Claire.
Not particularly interested in seeing more of this. It seems fine but kind of, eh.
Whatever happened to Tinykin? You seemed super high on it when you tried it out and was hoping that'd be come up again.
I had to stop watching after 5 minutes. That’s how long it took to sell me this game
love to see your take on the story of this, it gets pretty dark. warning: helios abandoned
This seems fun. Basically Risk of Rain, but legally different.
Please stream this
Well, it is over-and-over restart roguelike. So it's definitely not for me. But don't mind Jon playing it.
Classics major mispronouncing a word based on obol is... XD Never change Jon. Also, glad I just nabbed this on PC.
ground hog day!
Ohhh I love Future games with Future astronauts in sexy, tight future suits.
Am I really the first to watch this?
No
Well, you're the first to comment if nothing else by the look of things.
Glad your playing this crazy mess cuz I got no intention of every polluting my HDD with it.
I also bet you never ever play it again after today.
But it is a pretty thing, to be fair.
Jon, when are you going to play the Hogwarts game? Its amazing.
When Hogwarts?
