GAH I’ve been working on this for weeks but here’s a full length analysis on Returnal, how it took so many staples from the indie genre and transformed it into a flagship experience for the PS5. Housemarque has never made a game like this before but in another sense this game is directly in line with everything they’ve done, from Super Stardust to Resogun to Nex Machina, Returnal is the evolution and REVolution of what some people (including Housemarque themselves) believed to be a dying genre. Just like Housemarque, I’ve never made a video like this before even though it is in line with my other stuff- I thought the skit interludes were a fun way to format this and I’m really digging the overall style of this one and am hoping to continue it in future vids. If this is the first video of mine you’re watching, hey, subscribe! I have a bunch of stuff on the channel already and try to squeeze anywhere from 1-3 videos a week so a lot more is coming. Let me know what you guys thought in the comments and here are the links to a few playlists on the channel-
