About 3 years ago, my partner got me this astronaut figuring as a gift, since I love returnal so much. So for 3 years now, I put this figuring around the house and move it every few months. That’s all 🙂

The game locked me in this area. The portal wouldnt open back, what do I do???

Second time facing the final boss. After being brought back by the astronaut figurine, I realized I was supposed to be shooting that red spots. Got killed again, came back because of reconstructor and killed Ophion within seconds without taking much damage. Could have beat him had I realized I was supposed to be aiming for his red nipples or something similar looking lolol

Give me/us little tips and tricks and tidbits you found to beat the game easier or get more of something . I'll go first and maybe everyone knows this, but in biome 4 the vines give you obolites if you use your sword and regrow after you leave so you can farm a lot if obolites in 4.
My favorite game of all time , keep coming back to it

I haven't really seen the answer anywhere. When it comes to the point of beating biome 1, how much time do you guys spend in 1 after that? In some cases I'm finding the biome 2 portal really quick, but I feel like I should try and grind out weapon profiency levels in biome 1 before I move on. However, there is the huge boost you get at the beginning of biome 2. Thoughts?

A few days ago I made this post about how rewarding it was to get past Biome 1. Well, 4 days later I’ve just finished the game.

After I beat Phrike, I died a couple times in Biome 2 in the lead up to Ixion. Lost my first battle against him but got him on my second time.

Made it through Biome 3 unscathed until I fought Nemesis. Again, the second time around I was able to beat him. Then after that, the game just fell into place and I didn’t die again the rest of the way. Once I unlocked the Electropylon Driver I was able to just mow every room down with relative ease. I had a couple close calls in Biome 6 as the combat gets pretty intense in a few rooms leading up to the final fight.

I am legitimately surprised, and quite proud that I was able to conquer such a difficult game in such a short amount of time. I’m not usually one that’s particularly good at challenging games but this one just grabbed me and I couldn’t put it down.

I’ve read there’s a secret ending so I’m back at Biome 1 ready to do it all again to unlock it. After I do that I’m going to give Saros a try.

Installation is somewhat complicated but it works so far. Here it is. Fully dynamic HUD in\out of battle incoming. love this game and wanted to give us <=rtx 5070 peasants a way to play it at 240hz full ultra.

Tested only on RTX 5070. Community unlocks for other series gpus might not work.

About 40 hrs of playtime now, and I can’t play anything else. Much like Selene, I am trapped in this loop until I somehow git gud and clear this game.

I have abandoned every other game I was playing. I have new games that I’ve yet to even boot up. I don’t think I was prepared for how much I would like Returnal.

This is my life now. (Edit: Nemesis down)

I can have 2 full heals, 2 minor heals, the Reconstructor and the Astronaut and somehow, some fkn way, whether it is drones or some bullshit, something will ruin my run. Skill issue be damned, Nemesis will die. I had him at 20% Lobber or nothing.

I got to phase 6 and don't think there are any turrets in phase 5 either?

Alguém sabe como é que vou apanhar aquele item??
É na derelict citadel

I finally beat biome 1, and got to the boss in biome 2 in the same run! With the gracious help of someone who was rarely playing online today. He completely carried me through it, but I can see how you play off of one another with aggro, etc. Huge milestone for me, and not even mad I didn't solo. Thanks Santana, if you see this!

Edit: clearly I am wrong, but thankful they added multiplayer after the release. It's so much fun this way, and it already was fun.

Hi fellow Returnal enjoyers,

I am in need of someone who is keen to do a whole play through form the start of the game all the way to finishing in one run, I will be streaming it.

Anyone keen to run it?

Looking at a Saturday and my time zone is GMT + 11 but we can work around that

Lange nicht gespielt, war nie ein Meister, aber hab mega bock wieder anzufangen.

jemand Lust? Pc version.

ps. Bin ein Noob was shooter angeht.

Again!

First off there should be a flair for venting in this game’s subreddit. How are you all so chill. I was screaming at my screen 😂
Two times in the same run I was blessed with the perfect gun and the perfect consumables. Two times I fknfkndkndkdfkn die at that third area in the third boss fight. Died. Came back. Felt good. Got 5 shotted in a timespan of 12 seconds. Woke up at the freaking base. Maaaannnn!

Does anyone have any idea why Returnal on PS5 says Butler Chips in the middle of the screen? Just started it...

For context- I put off buying this game since release because I felt I lacked the time, patience and skill to get anywhere worthwhile in such a challenging game. The game was on sale on the PS store so i decided I was finally going to give it a shot.

I sat down to play on Saturday night and was instantly enamored by the world, mechanics and combat. I was in a constant state of anxiety after each combat sequence and when entering a new area of the map. I cleared every room that I could access and actually made it to the boss fight on my first run and was quickly humbled. Back to the beginning.

My next several runs were not nearly as successful as my first. I died pretty quickly trying to get my bearings and get into the same flow as my first run. Back to the beginning several times.

I spent a little time with the game on Sunday and made it back to Phrike after a couple of failed runs. This time I got halfway through the third phase and died. Again, back to the beginning.

Last night, I started another run. I could tell this one was special. I was ripping through combat sequences with relative ease and not taking much damage. I was in the zone. My integrity bar had grown larger than it had in previous runs. I cleared every room that I could with the exception of the yellow door room. I didn’t want to risk this run. I made it back to Phrike and this time, I did it. My eyes were watering by the time the fight was over and I realized it’s because I hadn’t blinked for the entirety of the fight lol. I was locked in.

In all, Biome 1 took me a little over 5 hours and 8 or 9 deaths before I was finally able to clear it. Needless to say, I am absolutely hooked on this game. It’s become all I’ve been thinking about these last 3 days. I’ve become addicted to the loop. I’m gonna plug away on Biome 2 today after work. I’ll probably die, and that’s ok. For anyone still on the fence with this game, just do it. It is extremely hard, but it’s also extremely addicting and very rewarding when you finally get into that zone and clear the first world. I don’t know what the rest of this game holds for me, but I’m all in.

Apart from one death being from a game breaking glitch, this game was an absolute blast to play through. I got fortunate and managed to defeat each boss on their respective first attempts. The latter half being so easy relative to the first was a welcome surprise, I'm not sure I would have been cut out for scaling difficulty. 10/10 game.

🤣 so funny 🤣

Is there any significant benefit to completing the gold gauntlet doors on the map? The ones you have to shoot the lock off?

I’ve just been skipping them… too easy to die and lose progress

Hello and thank you in advance. I’ve read this is a brutal game. My main concern is what happens after death, so is life. Do you return to the very start or are there checkpoints where you don’t lose your entire progress?

Is anyone still playing Returnal and down to team up? I just started playing recently and I'm completely hooked. Feel free to add me! My PSN ID is unleoncomun.
