The Developer Studio Housemarque dared with the Roguelike Returnal the leap on the very big stage. The PlayStation 5-Exclusive Space Adventure of Stranded Astronautin Selene enthused thanks to stunning graphics, liquid gameplay and a captivating, though cryptic story critics like players alike.
But Returnal (Buy Now 67.37 €) had to be criticized. For those who wanted to play a round of bang-hard Roguelikes had to bring time: the Runs last well and like two or even three hours, if they do not bite in advance. The problem? In between, stopped, did not: you want to play something else and finish Returnal, so your Run is over and you have to start over again.
Finally, your return can also pause
This not only means that your PS5 has been available for nothing else during a run, but also that you only pause a run pausing by running the game or put the PS5 in the quiet mode. This was neither the unnecessary power consumption particularly environmentally friendly, because after the start of a run, nothing else could play more play until her won or bitten in the grass.
Stoping Returnal times to watch something at Netflix finally led to death in the game. Therefore, players wanted the opportunity to store and pause a run to get back there later. Housemarque, this please finally felt after half a year.
How does it work in Returnal?
During a run, you now have the Cycle option in the menu, with which the game stores your current position in the RUN and finish the game. When re-starting Returnal, the game does not spit back at the beginning, but there, where you have stopped last time. Incidentally, the new storage function undermines the roguelike nature of the game in no way. You do not create a memory point that you can reload during failure on request again and again. It is really just the possibility to temporarily pause your Run and (on the console) to make something different. With your death, it s still starting from the beginning and your previously created memory point is history.
So you can now start a run at any time without the next two hours with Returnal. And emergencies can always happen anyway. The UPDATE 2.0 is already live and also delivers a new photo mode next to the anticipated memory feature. You can read our test for the AAA Alien-Roguelike here.
