So it has persistence between deaths? Still uninterested. I have tried a bunch of roguelikes and roguelites but still for some reason the gameplay loops don't resonate with me.

yeah there is some items that carry over. anyway the fact that you dont need to fight bosses again is a plus.

I tried to really think of why I haven't enjoyed the ones I've played. I realized I don't feel satisfaction in many instances of progression (e.g. beating a boss with my now upgraded equipment). It's almost as getting further in the game is cheapened by making it easier.
I know this is how it is supposed to work in roguelites but that seems to be the main driver for my disinterest in the genre. In terms of regular roguelike's the gameplay would have to be phenomenal for me to want to start over every death, and for me there really hasn't been one where I loved the gameplay enough yet.

Definitely waiting. Might pick it up when it's dirt cheap at the end of the year.

Eh, I was very interested at first since it reminds me of Metroid Prime but then I learned about the hard-core game mechanics (roguelike elements I guess?) which put me off completely. Now I lost all interest

Its more Roguelite it seems. Anyway, I suspect its still easier than the Metroid Prime games (especially MP2 Echoes). Games back then were much more unforgiving, dying meant losing a lot of progress. These supposedly hard games are still much more forgiving by having permanent upgrades, shortcuts etc.Eh, I was very interested at first since it reminds me of Metroid Prime but then I learned about the hard-core game mechanics (roguelike elements I guess?) which put me off completely.

Your next run will be easier most of the time. In older games such as Metroid, it wasnt easier in any way.

I'll have to get a clear picture of just how frustrating it is. I don't mind hard games, I love Dark Souls and Bloodborne for example. I also love Metroid like I said, and I don't think it's hard really, or frustrating.
But if you lose all your stuff and a lot of progress each time you die? That just sounds insanely annoying, but maybe I've misunderstood exactly how Returnal works. Games being hard isn't an issue, but being frustrating are.. And they need to be sufficiently rewarding to play.

Returnal, are you dipping or waiting?
I'll get it later. My backlog is way too big as it is, and growing constantly :|

I have mine in this position too and sometimes I wonder if it's worse since more dust can fall in, I think.

passing but only because I can't do horror, I'm still struggling to get through TLOU which is requiring me to take breaks to watch episodes of Scooby-Doo to unwind 
if this was my kind of game I'd be picking it up day 1

Didn't realise you had a PS5? Or will you be waiting a couple of years for the PC release?

From what i can tell based on watching the previews, you keep permanent upgrades and tools, your choice of weapon will affect that specific weapons effectivity in a positive way in the next cycle. It also seems that you can create shortcuts to quicker get back to where you died.
I understand your concern though, I was skeptical to the roguelike aspect as well initially but from watching the previews, the game seem to have some elements that probably will make it a lot less frustrating than I initially feared.
ps5 as the ps4 ps3 ps2 ... i just didn't buy the psone
i just did played god of war and naughty dog games on it that's it

Yeah! One option would also be to just try it out to see if I like it, instead of whining
I didn't think I would like Dark Souls or Demon's Souls either, but here we are so...

I’ll wait for reviews.
Depending on them, I’ll buy it sooner or later.
I am not totally convinced right now.
I need to know the game length, difficulty and replay value.

Yes definitely looks generic in every way. You should have went to Specsavers!

The first 45 min alone look more fun than all of RDR2.

Games strive to be much more than just fun these days. Imagine coming into such an epic 100h saga and expect first half an hour to be “fun”. Dimwitted.
