Returnal, Housemarque’s latest video game, is a game about solitude and survival on an alien planet. With the odds stacked against her.

Tight, precise, and perfect in its execution of blended ideas, Returnal isn’t just a tough as adamantium nails adventure.It always starts the same. A crashed spaceship. A lone astronaut. An alien planet teeming with incredibly hostile life. Returnal is a game built around the idea of loops, with death being a natural part of a terrifying cycle of rebirth where you never know what’s coming for you next.

Imagine the horror of space, with no back-up and an entire planet populated by murderous wildlife that’s hellbent on driving you mad before putting you out of your misery.It’s no secret that Housemarque is one of the most underrated gems in the industry today.

Death creates experience, and that experience builds on the game when the protagonist Selene makes enough headway to restart the cycle and finds herself equipped with a handy laser-sword or a grappling hook to reach new shortcuts. Selene also has a fairly chunky arsenal at her disposal; what starts with a traditional sidearm holstered to her hip soon evolves as she discovers more heavy-duty weapons, each one equipped with its own alternate-firing mode.

This idea is compounded on by an environment full of malignant elements. Parasites can attach themselves to your suit but its quid pro quo as they’ll demand something in exchange for their gifts. Maybe that’s sapping your spacesuit of integrity every time you open a treasure box in exchange for added firepower. Maybe it’ll alter reality so that you can earn more resources for upgrades while enemies leave behind a puddle of harmful acid when defeated.
