PlayStation Plus users often recommend PS5 AAA as a “masterpiece”.
Sony offers many exclusives through PlayStation Plus; one game in particular has become an under-appreciated gem many consider a masterpiece.
Returnal is an action-shooter roguelike which takes place within an endless loop, watching as its central character dies over and over, gradually making progress while unravelling its core mystery.
Returnal has many admirers and they can all be found here on Reddit in one thread started by someone who considers the game “masterful”. Original post from u/JimmySteve3556 details how much they loved the game even as casual gamer, after coming upon it by chance after finishing Demon’s Souls.
Returnal’s post generated an outpouring of positive comments from players praising its visual and audio design, atmosphere creation and user experiences – not surprising since Returnal relies heavily on gorgeous visuals and a captivating soundtrack for its success.
“Unbelievable Game! The Rush of Dodging Last Second and Shooting Back Is Awesome!” says Redditor Ok_Captain7309 to highlight its difficulty. This title has long been known for being challenging; many comments agree it takes no prisoners while simultaneously offering fantastic gameplay experiences. One user said they found the game too challenging after giving 30 hours without seeing progress: “The Game Was Too Difficult for Me – Gave Up,” another Redditor concurred saying they have not managed to get past The First Boss yet; Redditors agreed and claimed “I Have Not been Able To Get Past The First Boss Yet”.
Returnal may not appeal to all gamers, but it nonetheless deserves its accolades as an exclusive title that kept players interested for some time before new exclusives arrived on PS5.
