To shake things up even further, the layout of this mysterious planet will change with each new try, so you won’t be able to rest on any pre-existing knowledge of the map. You’ll lose your weapons, power-ups and more (essentially anything that isn’t a permanent upgrade is gone forever). Every time you die, the player is sent straight back to the remains of their ship, Helios, forced to begin their journey anew. I leapt into the air with a roar, fist bumping the sky – Returnal had me hooked from that point onwards and I had genuine difficulty putting it down again. Dodging a sea of bullets and jumping over countless waves of harmful energy, I somehow managed to take the entity down on my first try. It wasn’t until Returnal’s second boss that everything clicked. Not counting remakes or games included on the console, Returnal is the first major triple-A exclusive for PS5, and an absolute triumph from developer Housemarque.
