Returnal is a PS5 exclusive that is fast approaching. The game will be one of the small pool of games that can’t be played anywhere other than on Sony’s brand new console. To me, that says that every single PS5 owner has to play it. It’s not really a matter of having an option, you need to be playing it if you want to make the most of the console. If you don’t believe me, watch the video below and read on for some more reasons to pick this game up and enjoy your PS5 to the max.
There are loads of good things going on in every trailer and video for Returnal that we’ve seen. Players fall onto a world that is constantly shifting and changing, never the same after you die. You need to use the weapons and items you pick up on each run to progress further, kill more aliens, and uncover more of the protagonist’s inner demons. That in itself is quite cool, but the PS5 is going to be doing things on top of this to make the game even better.
First, there’s the haptic feedback. The DualSense controller will be helping you feel the tension in every gunfight, as well as in every moment of revelation. That feedback will ramp up everything you’re meant to feel, making the game so much more vivid. For that visual and emotional experience alone, it’s so worth playing.
The second thing the controller will be doing is working with those adaptive triggers to keep you on your toes. You’re going to have to learn how each weapon works with the triggers in order to avoid being caught out ina. firefight. You never know how the powers will mess with your established understanding either. There are so many variants that the controller itself could be the reason you freak out.
This game is going to be an experience, not just another addition to the list of games you’ve finished. What is being made here is something that you must get through as a PS5 owner, if for nothing else other than to truly experience what a PS5 game can feel like.
