"Returnal" is a third-person shooter video game developed by Housemarque and released for the PlayStation 5 in April 2021. The game follows the story of Selene, an astronaut who crash-lands on an alien planet called Atropos. As she explores the planet, she encounters hostile creatures and mysterious environments while trying to uncover the secrets of her surroundings. The gameplay features a roguelike structure, meaning that each time Selene dies, she respawns at her ship, and the world changes with each cycle. Players must adapt to new challenges and upgrade their abilities to progress through the game, making each playthrough unique and engaging.
