GOTY?! Did you even play other games this year?! haha
Why not offer up some suggestions for what you thought was GOTY rather than try and belittle an OPINION?

I am a huge fan of Hades and other Rogue-like/lite types of games. This seems like a FPS version of that style of game. Do you think I would like this game? If not Hades, what game would you compare it to that maybe matches a little better? I just recently acquired a PS5 and just purchased my must have game (FFVII Remake) so this would be my second PS5 official game. Any other must have recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

My apologies, I probably should have added my must purchase exclusives I already have lined up (to add to the backlog of course, like any other SDer)
  • Demon's Souls (maybe)
  • Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut
  • God of War (2018)
  • God of War III Remastered
  • Kena: Bridge of Spirits
  • Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition
  • Persona 5 Royal
  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
  • Returnal
Nioh 2 got a next gen upgrade, great game and amazing game play / fighting if you have not played it yet.

For non-exclusives, I just started AC Valhalla and am gonna do Immortals Fenyx Rising next. So far AC is a lot of fun.

Is Sony starting to turn into Nintendo where they dont discount 1st party games that much?

In the past, year old games would be $15-25 on black Friday but now we are praising $40 prices?

Great game, but words of warning. If you use a reconstructor at the first boss, there's a good chance the first boss won't respawn and you'll need to restart your run. Not sure how often this happens, but this is a bad bug that happened to me the other day. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Dang, looks like they corrected it. Alot of deals leaked and price mistakes were seen on Gamestop and target. Looks like $40 might be the BF price
It has been $34.99 pre-owned at GameFly, but it's been OOS for a couple weeks. Hopefully they get more in soon.

It's a very good game.

My thoughts are that this game is closer to abstract art than most games or movies. The story is more and more compelling the further you get, and despite the difficulty the game also becomes more accessible the further you go. In terms of gameplay and combat, my best comparison is it's fast like Nier automata with a focus on guns rather than melee.

It does have some Souls/FromSoft story mechanics though and you have to read some in game stuff to get a better grasp of whats going on.

Despite the person above saying otherwise, i do feel like it is a legit GOTY contender. The story is compelling, and combined with sounds via headphones and the controller haptics it feels like an experience more so than most games. I feel like the game does everything it set out to very well and it doesn't try to over achieve by adding in extra fluff.

All that said, Even though i think it's a legit GOTY contender id be surprised if it won because so few people seem to have actually finished it. Im betting it wins best new IP or some smaller category.

The save feature definitely makes it more accessible for more than just the hardcore people.

Please read up throughly on the game type before buying. I love games like Dark Souls, but this game was too difficult for me and in an annoying way.

Returnal is somewhat addicting to me. The gameplay that is.

I haven't started any other games in my backlog, partly because I'm not in the mood to learn any new systems. Returnal I already know the gameplay, and enjoy running through it.

Forget about what people say about the story, however -- it is disjointed, unevenly paced (due to progression), and to finish the final act true ending requires RNG (finding collectibles). I could barely follow it since it's abstract (flickers of memory fragments here and there). Story is important to me, but obviously the narrative takes a backseat here.

For some general tips if you get this game, don't be afraid of bullets -- you must dodge into them, past them. That's where you are usually safe. Unless you are swarmed; then stay behind cover. Be strategic in clearing out enemies. You gotta have good spatial awareness; you'll learn the environment as you play it over.

I did not care for this game at all. I bought it used from ebay for $30 and ended up selling it for the same.

It's pretty to look at but I just hated it. OTOH I like Hades so maybe just me.

So if you don't mind used, shop around a little and you can score it cheaper.

Yeah I'm intrigued because of how good it supposedly showcases the PS5, but Im having a hard time being excited for the concept of the actual game. Not usually my thing.

At least you can save now. I certainly wasn't going to buy it before that came out.
Ratchet & Clank may be a better showcase. Returnal is an awesome game though.

Also I forgot which gun it was but, it had the portal beam III and portal turret III and just shredded the enemies!

No losing any money on the resell should be the definition of "Returnal"
