I finally picked up Returnal for PC from Steam. It's on sale, 33% off right now.

I tried to download the UE VR injector for it, so I could play in a VR headset, but my antivirus blocked the url. Oh well.

I also missed the intro, sorry about that. I crashed on an alien planet where approach was forbidden, seeking some White Shadow Broadcast signal. Some energy blast or lightning bolt struck my ship while descending through the stormy clouds, so my ship crashed and lost an engine.

This is the entire first biome (minus the challenge room, which I don't remember seeing at all). I play it like it's my first time there, but I have hundreds of hours of playtime on the PS5, so I get through biome 1 without any deaths.

Sadly, the game bugged when I tried to enter biome 2 - it wouldn't let me suspend. I Alt F4'd out of the game, and when I came back, I was in a freefall under the world of biome 2. When I finally 'died' from that freefall and lost some health, I reappeared in freefall again. I Alt F4'd again, same result. So, I can't upload the recording of my first experiences there. I'll just have to play through biome 1 again and re-enter biome 2 - so I may not have the same weapon, health or powerups in the second video, and the first bits of Selene's comments about biome 2 were not recorded. So that sucks.

So, note to self - always Suspend BEFORE entering the portal to biome 2.
