Listening to IGN's Podcast Beyond, they're saying dying actually opens up areas with story and upgrade unlocks for future attempts. if you don't die much, you might actually miss things and make the game harder.

Yup, definitely sounds Demon's Souls like, where dying is part of the game to help you to learn how to progress through the level.
I'm just glad everything seems to be working out for Housemarque. They really needed to step out of their comfort zone and get very risky here with Returnal and nice to see Sony stepping up big to support them.
Let's hope sales pays off for them.
Buy it. I'm going to as soon as Walmart opens tomorrow. I got a $40 GC to use.
GOTY.
Finally a game I can play as my mom. Now I just need a PS5
Apparently there's a day 1 patch so DF is holding off a day for their analysis.
13 gigs?! That's a big patch.Yeah, the day 1 patch is like 13gigs. I wanted to start playing but the countdown is still up so I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to play.
Not sure if this is a game I'm going to put a ton of time into or not, it feels great though and the graphics are very nice in some ways. This kind of crisp shooting and traversal would feel good in something like Mass Effect, andromeda tried to do something similar but it failed.
Just ordered from walmart. Not sure when it'll be delivered though. Their in-store dept is shut down bc of lockdown right now so can't even buy in store.
Watching lots of gameplay. I like the combat and flow. However, the story appears to be lacking.
I'm currently in the middle of God of War and enjoy the combat, but it's the story and dialog between characters and environments (puzzles, treasure, etc.) that really fill it out as a whole.
At this pace, it'll be awhile before I grab Returnal anyway.

Hey U2, thanks for posting the DF breakdown. This game uses Unreal Engine 4. And boy ohh boy, its a stark difference from Outriders that also uses UE4. I wonder if its due to differences in budget, developer talent or a combination of both. I am a little disappointed with some heavy use of Motion Blur, I've come to really dislike that technique but I can deal with it.
I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to play today, but I'm definitely going to put some time into this over the weekend.
Stared at the confirm purchase screen for a solid 5 minutes. I better like this.
Just had a glitch after using the fabricator and now none of the doors open and teleporter doesn't work. Can only restart cycle as far as I know so everything lost very cool.
