Returnal Ascension - Co-Op update and new content 22nd March 2022

Been waiting to pull the trigger on this, multiplayer absolutely pushes it into the front of my list though.
Big props to any dev team that adds co-op to a single player game.
 
So fucking hyped! Tower of Sisyphus sounds awesome. And co-op mode? Housemarque delivers the goods.

There's a reason I didn't trade this GOAT game in yet.

Also, once its on a heavy sale I will buy digitally to throw some extra funds their way.

Amazing game.

In comparison of Bloodborne, Gravity Rush, Demon Souls, Spiderman, Horizon or even Detroit. Returnal is no big deal.

The game you've mentioned are all great.

But I don't understand where is the hate came from.

Returnal is one of the best game I've ever played, Housemarque is becoming one of my new favorite studio. Even before Returnal, their game is fun and innovative, Sony need more studio like this.

Sony doesn't get bored of promoting an average game?

It is not the great wonder of the industry and they promote it as such.

This is how they should promote a real game like Demon Souls

It my GOTY 2021.

That average game is better than anything launched in 2021.

I think this will peak interest for the game.
Housemarque always released extra content for their games! Resogun got a lot for example.

Finally the studio is getting the recognition it deserves.

Gameplay wise, returnal trash 3\4 of that list so much that is not even funny (and yes that include gravity trash)

Gameplay wise is the best sony game in years and one of the best tps of the last 10 years. (Shitty roguelite tho)

I have a backlog of 14 games to play. Why would I make that 15. Haven't even started GT7 yet. Only 2 hours of horizon. Currently playing doom eternal gold edition. After that horizon, then alien isolation then crash 4, gtu etc etc etc. I'm not buying returnal now and not even playing it till next year.

Good, cause after you've played Returnal, Horizon is gonna feel like a snoozefest. Get rid of all the slowpaced games before Returnal.

A launch game is not always the best... except for Demon souls.

Horizon slow paced?? Did you only played the first one on normal for any chance?

Because even normal on the second one had people on gaf crying because enemies are TOO aggressive.

I died way more in horizon on max difficulty than returnal, like WAY more.

Not sure what that mean but returnal is not a launch game.

It is because of the lack of exclusive games in such a short time.

But without a doubt, there may be better proposals.

I'm not saying you don't like it or change your preference.

My message is that SONY overvalues the game too much.

No it doesn't, the game deserve every bit of spotlight it can get.

If the same game was called metroid you would have 95 metacritic and people ripping their nippples off.

If anything, Returnal is super underrated. Not a lot of people have played it and, therefore, do not know how absolutely terrific it is.
