Anyone on here actually played it? I saw some gameplay and it looked like a third-person boomer shooter.Was a bit miffed to see some walky-talky bits in the gameplay though, seems like the MC just talks to herself all the time
Haven't played, but the color switching and absorbing shots looks cool. Would like to see an indie clone this and make a 3D ikaruga TPS where the focus is 100% on gameplay.
>>746008381It's actually a competent game without too much intrusive story segments and neat lore, but it suffers very heavily from the roguelite problem of constantly repeating the start of each run and many areas feeling monotonous.
Its unironically too hardyou constantly lose progression from death and most people arent into bullet hell games
>>746008381There's very minimal amounts of walk-n-talk and it's all related to the lore. In my 25 hour playthrough there was probably 1 hour of walk-n-talk. I like the game a lot, even if the balance is shit, only few weapons can actually carry you through the abyss and some enemies have fucked up damage numbers. The story also sucks, but that's not surprising considering the devs background.Don't play Saros, it's just shittier Returnal.
>>746009291Didn't call it Redeemer went for the more obvious Sar instead.
>>746008381It's a a rogue like so if you die you start from the start I found it annoying AF and the protagonist is a hag.
>>746008870Are you a video game journalist?
>>746008381It's fun but the roguelike element is kind of shit. I would have liked it better if it had much more depth to the roguelike elements or if it was a linear classic shooter. Story is much too cryptic but well delivered by the VA You really feel the main character's slip into madness. Also it's an early PS5 title and looks better than most shit I've played lately so kudos to the devs. The alien city is amazing.>>746009291It don't think it's shit necessarily. It's however much too fucking vague and the fact that you can't really tell reality from fiction AT ALL in this game makes a lot of the lore hard to appreciate. How the hell am I supposed to enjoy learning alien lore If I can't even tell if it's just purgatory shit or the PC losing it ? These things need at least some level of grounding in fact so the story makes sense. At the end of the day we don't even know for sure if spacegirl ever left earth at all.
>>746009613It is difficult and the roguelike elements are dull as fuck. There is next to no variety between runs so that makes each loss harder to stomach. It's like a shitty scoreless arcade system.
>>746009890The added enemy lore bits reveal it's all inside her head. None of the aliens actually exist and are just parts of her guilt. The endless mode tower also confirms this.
>>746008381Best game of 2023 (when it came to pc) by a country mileCouldn't put it down
It's an amazing game in spite of its roguelike elements being bad.The movement and shooting is top tier qualityThere's an arcade mode that goes indefinitely but it quickly becomes 1-2 hits and you are dead so ehh.
>v finally grew up to appreciate ReturnalWell I don't hate such development
>>746008381I don't play games with ugly womne
>>746009291literally any weapon can carry you through the game, you just need to level them upthe story is ambiguous so a number of things could be true, that doesn't mean it suckssaros is actually better in pretty much every regard, except narrative
There's a "sequel" it is even better but it's been memed to hell and back the same way this was.
The pipe organ music volume increasing as you climb the tower towards the biome 4 bossOne of my favorite moments in vidya in years
>>746008381Wokeslop rogueslop
>>746008381tedious and boring
>>746008870Huh, I beat it without dying. I think there's one spot you're expected to die, close to the beginning, so I did there, then went on to beat the game without a death. Felt pretty easy.
>>746010389Didn't happen, snoy. Please get a real job. Stacking shelves pays better than shilling pretentious woke console garbage on this dying site.
>>746008381Bullet Hell doesn't work in 3D and just looks retarded. The only reason Nier got away with it is because so much of the game takes place in sidescrolling/shooter/fixed camera segments which is where bullet patterns actually work well.

>>7460083818/10 would pirate again. Final boss spoiler, desu.
>>746008381third person shooter rougelike with bullet hell mechanicsI liked the gameplay, but the house sections spooked me so hard I dropped it not expecting a fuckin horror game.
Returnal is awesome.
>>746010389Current zeitgeist won't talk about current thing on honest manner.That's why you always gotta wait 3-5 years minimum in order to actually have serious discussion about a subject here
>>746008381>I saw some gameplay and it looked like a third-person boomer shooter.Try the demo for void / breaker if you're curious, they play kind of similarly except it's a fps.
