Returnal has finally landed on PC, and it’s bringing its full roguelike bullet hell experience with it. Developed by Housemarque and co-developed by Climax Studios, this third-person action RPG puts you in the shoes of Selene, a lone space explorer trapped in a brutal loop of death and rebirth. In this first impressions review, I explore Returnal's gameplay mechanics, visuals, performance, and haunting story—all optimized for PC.
Gameplay & Features
🎮 Bullet Hell Combat – Fight for survival with fast-paced, third-person shooting filled with screen-flooding enemy projectiles and intense movement-based combat. It’s punishing but rewarding.
🔄 Roguelike Loop – Each death resets the world. You’ll scavenge Obolites, collect alien tech, and re-strategize with every cycle to build a stronger path forward.
🧩 Procedurally Generated World – The mysterious planet Atropos changes with every run, offering a unique experience full of surprises and deadly encounters each time you wake.
🧠 Psychological Sci-Fi Narrative – Uncover Selene’s fragmented memories and secrets buried deep within this hostile alien world. Is she truly alone?
🛠 ️ Tower of Sisyphus & Co-op Mode – Climb the endless combat gauntlet in the Tower of Sisyphus or team up with another Selene in Co-op Mode for tactical survival.
💻 Optimized for PC – Ultra-wide (21:9 / 32:9) support, full 4K resolution, ray tracing, DLSS/FSR, performance trackers, and customizable input options bring out the best of Returnal on PC.
Why It’s Worth Playing
If you're into roguelike shooters, high-stakes RPG action, or challenging, fast-paced gameplay mechanics, Returnal will keep you coming back for more. The addition of PC-specific performance features and graphical enhancements makes it not just a port—but the definitive version of this already acclaimed game.
First Impressions – Is It Worth the Hype?
From the stunning lighting effects to the relentless, adrenaline-fueled combat, Returnal wastes no time throwing you into the deep end. The learning curve is steep, but every mistake teaches you something new. Whether you’re chasing a high score in the Tower of Sisyphus or unraveling Selene’s psychological journey, Returnal delivers one of the most immersive, re-playable, and visually striking roguelike games in recent memory.
