Returnal is a third-person shooter video game featuring roguelike elements and covering the psychological horror genre. Set in a futuristic science fiction setting, the player controls Selene (Anne Beyer), a space pilot, equipped with a suit and armed with high-tech weapons, who is stranded on the alien planet Atropos, and stuck in a time loop. After every death, Selene is resurrected, following a pattern of traversing across foreign environments and combating extraterrestrial entities with growing visions in an ever changing world.

Who are the Dolphins going to select? (I don't really read/watch any pre-draft content)

At 6, most likely the best available WR (Chase?) or TE Kyle Pitts. Maybe a stud OL like Sewell. Hoping WR. Maybe they trade down and still get a nice WR like a Waddle.

I think a considerable Factor is the relatively low expectation level. Kind of the opposite of games like no man’s sky and cyber punk And all of their hype

IGN reviewer says the only downside for him is the runs take too long.

This is a concern for me, but rest mode should still work.

That's what he said. It's the only way.

Oh cool. Just found out the music is by the same composer who scored the amazing Midsommar, Bobby Krlic. It's supposed to be a pretty great and integral part of the game.

I'm wondering if they'll patch the long run complaint eventually, though I'm sure that's what adds to what sounds like a challenging game. The reviews are really damn solid, only downside for yours truly is that it sounds like it'll be overly punishing for casual gamers....so I fully expect to suck at this. Happy to finally see a new (and great looking) AAA PS5 title out there.

From GamingBolt's review: "deaths never feel cheap. If you die, it's because you are not good enough"

I like this a lot.
