We all know how Sony is with its exclusive games, which are its main asset against Microsoft and Xbox to clearly differentiate itself from them. Around those studios that work in a unique way with the Japanese, more than interesting names have appeared in recent times that have ended up having a port for PC. returnable is the last of its and we explain why you should play with him… if you haven’t already.
Death is the protagonist
returnable It is a game that came to PlayStation 5 on April 30, 2021, practically a few months after the premiere of the new console and its exclusive status for that next-gen It made him bring together many current focuses at that time. And already at that time, practically all the specialized critics and those of the users were unanimous when it came to value the work of Housemarque.
Indeed, returnable could have their things, but generally It was an innovative, unique, very rare proposal to see in a AAA launch in which companies do not usually take risks and prefer to go for formulas that are clear that they will work. A sandbox with dozens of hours, a classic role-playing title or a shooter in first person with gameplay just not to experiment too much.
However, in the case of returnable it is resorted to such an amazing and attractive idea: whenever we die, our protagonist returns to the starting point of the game and, furthermore, losing practically everything he has achieved up to that moment during the game. Do you think that such an approach is more of a problem or an incentive to continue playing?
die and go back to the beginning
As we tell you, every time they kill us we have to Going back to the beginning may seem strange and frustrating.. Other great games have experimented with a similar idea, such as the superb Dead Cells, but here there are some small details that do not make that situation so harsh. One is that the scenarios are generated randomly with each new game, so we cannot say that there are two alike, and the other is that we will keep some achievements, as well as the progression of the story that will make it easier for us to reach those advanced points without we have to die on the way.
For the first, returnable uses some objects/abilities that are special And they do manage to stay within our character’s inventory even though we lose some life, which gives us more power to face the enemies that await us in each new room in the game. The second is unlocked as we progress through the story (which has it) and brings us closer to those places in such a way that we can return to them more quickly. Without having to go through all the initial levels from the beginning, going through rooms that we have already seen dozens of times before.
Needless to say returnable it’s a different experience, that you already have available to play on PC and that we especially recommend it for its original approach. We do not want to reveal any more, so that you are the ones who have a great time advancing in its labyrinthine map and that, armed only with your pads, you are able to unravel all the secrets it hides. great game
