Returnal

That's what I thought, with everything you're doing it's a mystery why you wouldn't have it on. Anyway after playing Hades I kinda wished they put a save point from the start of a biome, but developer vision and all that.

I like Hades but this is on another level compared to it.

Fuck a save point.

Pretty obvious but try not to stick to using your fave gun. Some of the shit ones at first are game changers once you level them up.

My favourite gun is the Hollowseeker, that leveled up and with the right RNG perks is a beast.

I'm using a Spitmaw blaster at proficiency 7 right now with acid spit, extended range and improved stagger and seems to be beastly just from the damage output.

And you don't even have to be in the room lol

The rotgland lobber or whatever it's called is one that you think is shit, and I ignored it for ages. Until I began to unlock perks for it and it's  horrific how quickly it can destroy shit.

Glad to see you're enjoying this Jambo, it's the best exclusive PS5 game available at the moment in my opinion.

My favorite weapon through the earlier part of the game was the Hollowseeker and it has some really nice upgrades later on, especially the two different types of portals, either beam or gun. If RNG is shining on you, you occasionally get both as weapon mods!

I think my favourite weapons by the end however, were the explosive ones! Namely the Thermogenic Launcher and the Pyroshell Caster. When I found one with some decent weapon modifiers, especially if I'd levelled them a bit, they were absolutely beastly. I melted the last boss with a decent Pyroshell Caster I'd found.

Oh yeah, Thermogenic launcher with a full auto perk is just silly damage.

Just finished the third act. I'm not a fan of the ambiguous ending, and a few trophies appear to be glitched, but I still think it's my favourite game of the year. Utterly brilliant.

When it gets harder your skills will have be honed by then so it become a frustration. It does that really well.

First session on this I got to the second Biome/level? The desert one anyway, beat the first boss on my first attempt. Tonight played it again for 3 hours and feels like I got nowhere, spent ages looking for kit and upgrades. Ended up dying a couple of times on rooms that go into lockdown, then the first boss but had a shite weapon so go wasted. Got there again with a better weapon and fucked it up!

Apart from all that I love it, really got its hooks in.. so well designed even if I’ve had a frustrating time tonight. What perks/kit or other stuff persist when you die?

Seems alright this. Didn't get very far in my hour last night, every time I thought I was doing OK some big bastard thing I hadn't seen before would -hit me, but I'm looking forward to getting stuck in properly.

The game does tell you that.
