Returnal Converted Me To 3D Audio
20.5.2021
Returnal, a PlayStation 5 action game about dancing with death at an inescapable time-loop space rave, is a visual delight. It’s also an aural one. And at no time is that more apparent than when you play with a pair of 3D audio headphones.Read more

Returnal, a PS5 game based entirely on Vaas’ iconic refrain from Far Cry 3, is an impressive game. But few things are more impressive than its rain, which feels unnervingly real in your hands, a result of the PS5 controller’s advanced haptic feedback. Today, in a post on the PlayStation Blog...

Let’s Discuss Returnal’s Bonkers Mid-Game Twist
10.5.2021
Returnal, the PS5-exclusive action game about losing all of your hard-earned progress, features one of the most bonkers moments I’ve ever experienced in a video game.

That’s A Wrap On Backlog Month
8.5.2021
This past month was Backlog Month at Kotaku. April, our thinking went, would be fairly slim in terms of new games, bookended by two blockbusters (Outriders and Returnal) but devoid of tentpoles in the interim. What better time to play the games we already have?Read more

So, Is It Safe To Play Returnal Now?
6.5.2021
Over the past 24 hours, Returnal, the PS5-exclusive action game about getting repeatedly bullied by space tentacle monsters, has weathered a serious patch of turbulence. Two patches in 12 hours. Myriad reports of corrupted save data. Me, getting killed over and over again by an irritating boss....

Returnal’s Lack Of A Save Feature Is Ruining Players’ Runs
3.5.2021
I made a mistake. Yesterday, I had to stop playing Returnal, a tough-as-nails action game released last week exclusively for PS5, mid-run to tend to some chores. You know, like shopping for groceries and drinking rosé on my roof. When I returned to my PlayStation 5 this morning, a pop-up...
How To Beat Returnal’s Early Bosses
30.4.2021
Returnal, the PS5-exclusive action game about pretending you’re in the Tom Cruise film Edge of Tomorrow, is no cakewalk. The rank-and-file enemies are one thing, what with their tentacle laser beams and relentless volleys of neon death basketballs. But it’s the boss fights that will really give...

Returnal: The Kotaku Review
29.4.2021
I’m sure you’ve felt it too. For the past year and some change, life has fallen into a rut more than usual. Life is always cyclical to some degree—humans are, after all, creatures of habit—but the stresses that go hand-in-hand with a certain mismanaged pandemic have made the day-to-day feel more...
Enough With The Red Screen Of Almost-Death
24.4.2021
Returnal, a relatively punishing action game out next week for PS5, treats your character being near death the way many games do.

22.4.2021
Půl roku po uvedení konzole PlayStation 5 na trh jsme konečně dostali další vysokorozpočtovou exkluzivitu, kterou si na jiném stroji jednoduše nezahrajete. Pokud byste ale čekali klasický mainstreamový zážitek pro každého, byli byste na těžkém omylu
Returnal Feels Like An Actual PS5 Game
22.4.2021
A busted spaceship. An uncharted exoplanet teeming with hostile life. An emphasis on scanning objects, upgrading equipment, and retracing your footsteps. Those might sound like core components of a new Metroid Prime, but they’re not, at least not in this case. They’re the ingredients of...
