Especially really good and satisfying gun sound effects.

I’m surprised no one here has mentioned Returnal. On the PS5 with a headset it uses the “3D Audio”. It’s pretty amazing.

I’m not really into roguelikes, but that description intrigues me, especially because it’s an included game for PS+ Extra subscribers like myself!

The game is absolutely amazing. It being a roguelike is really secondary. There’s also decent progression, and I didn’t think it was that hard, you just have to get a good loadout running. Occasionally you’ll just get RNG’d within 10 minutes of a run and just start over.

That’s good to hear. I had heard that you could just get RNG’d out of a run after like 45-60 minutes of good play, so I was just immediately turned off even though the bare premise I’m aware of seems at least interesting. Because it’s free for me, and my time ROI will probably be only like an hour, I will definitely try it! Thanks!

It’s not really a full on roguelike. You do “upgrade” weapons as you use them, so when you die it’s not a complete loss. Also once you beat a boss you never have to fight them again if you don’t want to. You just make it through three areas (3 bosses each), and then you unlock the next 3, but you don’t have to start from the very beginning for the last 3.

Maybe it helps if you think of it as an arcade version of a soulslike game? Play it in 30 minute increments, don’t stress about beating it and naturally you’ll get better enough to beat it.

The story and setting is pretty unique and awesome as well.
