A hostile world built around movement
Third-person shooting and repeated expeditions ask you to keep moving while reading threats. Pick it when the atmosphere and the physical execution of a fight should be equally important.
Before you choose: Its pressure is quite different from a card-based roguelike. Check whether demanding real-time encounters fit your mood.

Returnal combines side-scrolling action with roguelike gameplay into a third-person shooter where players fight to survive a hostile planet that changes with every death. Players can switch instinctively between firing modes by using a single adaptive trigger and can get right back into the action after dying. PS5's immersive 3D audio brings the alien world to life around the player, helping players navigate the intense positional combat.
