Alien Planet

I really suck at these types of games. Returnal by far is actually one of the hardest games I have experienced. Played on PS5. The haptics and 3D Audio are impressive. The combat is really that satisfying but unforgiving. I like the fact that the levels will randomly generate every time you die. It added more depth to the game. As a person who really sucks at rogue-like games like this. I swear to God that I had a hard time playing this. It took me several hours just to get out of the first world. Well, imagine every time you die, you will respawn from the very beginning. Damn, that really hurts. This is actually of those few games that I won't get back to playing again in the future.
