How Hard Is Returnal?

 

 

 

Determining whether a game is hard can be a rather subjective question. Someone who kicks ass in racing games might suck playing Call of Duty and someone great at roguelikes might suck at racing games. Everyone has genres they are good at and this will greatly influence the answer to whether the difficulty is too high. The latest PS5 game Returnal already has a reputation for being rather challenging but just how hard is Returnal?

 

I will do my best to keep this as objective as possible to highlight the level of difficulty in relation to other games and not just say how hard I found it.

 

Note: I have written this guide to explain the difficulty of the game to people who have never played a roguelike game before. I am aware that a lot of the aspects of the game’s difficulty are core to the roguelike genre, they are part of what makes this game hard and are worth mentioning to people who are new to this.

 

Is Returnal as Difficult as People Say?

The short answer to this is going to be yes, Returnal is a rather difficult game. Much like games in the soul’s genre or many other roguelike games, it is designed to be difficult and the developers intend on you dying often. Even with a warning like this, the obvious objective for a roguelike is to finish the game. So how hard is it to get to the end of Returnal? Click here clan tag generator
