Is this Game as hard as Returnal? Because this Kind of gameplay is hard for me , had to sell Returnal because never beated the first boss.

Saros looks great but if it is like Returnal I am out.

And I like dificcult games , got platinum of all Froms games including Sekiro...but Returnal gameplay makes me nuts.

Nah, you can make the game incredibly easy, if you choose to. The modifiers change the difficulty

 

[Jigsaah]

Always like HouseMatque games. Congrats to them. I loved Returnal so im sure this is a gem

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

So happy no missables for the platinum, can't wait

Gonna play an hour or so before bed, it unlocks in 42 minutes here

You're tempting me to snag that 48 early access

 

[Humdinger]

Sounds good. I'll pick it up at a discount.

Not at all. It was made for reviewers and mainstream in mind. So from what I've seen and read is that it's very easy. But there are modifiers that you can change to make the game harder if you want.

Same here, Returnal is one of my games of the gen.

 

[Markio128]

I'm tempted to get the early access only because I was recently given a £20 PS voucher. 50/50 tbh. I have plenty to be getting on with, so another 2 days won't kill me will it?

My inner voice:

Hello fellow gamers,

I liked Returnal but heard this one is woke since it is made accessible for retards, can anyone confirm?

Returanal was also woke

easy mode = woke? who knew? so, just how far back does this woke thing go?...

Can confirm you're one

 

[ChiefDada]

No it wasn't. Why lie?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

No it wasn't. Why lie?

 

[Ashamam]

Basically at this point its into IQ test land. Past a certain reasonable threshold (the sensible centre) take off an IQ point or two for every degree of obsession (in either direction).

What do you mean "how"? It's a Sony game which has never released a single title same day as a console release and word's out won't be doing PC releases at all from now on.

They did do it for helldivers 2 and Concord.

Not single player games, they never did it for the 1st party story driven titles

So someone mentioned earlier in the thread the Ninja Turtles game Splintered Dimension. I ended up really liking this game, is that the kind of game this is vaguely? In terms of the way the game is set up and operates regarding runs and powering up and so forth? And same for Returnal?

Don't try to strong arm yourself. If it's not your vibe don't try to convince otherwise.

After a few hours, the game is easier than Returnal.

There are a LOT of upgrades you can put into your suit before even beating the first boss if you struggle, including a revive that heals you a lot.

You also get a shield.

They combined artefacts and parasites from the first game, and the positive modifiers seem to far outweigh the negative ones.

Also there's a setting in the menu where you can adjust things like fall damage and add extra protection.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

The game is not a graphical benchmark but it does look good, it does looks much better than Returnal. Why couldn't Returnal look like this? would have made the game even better.
Anyway, 15 minutes in and already like this new vibe.

 

[Luipadre]

Played an hour before bed last night. Game looks stunning in motion and the HDR is stellar. So far im not too into this new setting and i hate the fact that we have other NPCs around us. Gameplay is super as expected altho im not sure about this shield mechanic yet

Once you get the shield into your muscle memory it's great. I felt the same, first area + adjusting to the mechanics and new dance of Saros made it feel a bit underwhelming to me.

In the third area now and everything is great + clicking.

I agree on the NPCs, they're all ugly and pointless.

 

[J Required]

How this game could not be on Steam as well is beyond me. Found a cool pic on the Saros main site though:

That's some high level port begging. Lol

 

[GymWolf]

Hearing that the game is much easier if you dont use modifiers is kinda of a let down...returnal was decently balanced by default.
