I did a few runs on Returnal last night on the Tower. It reminded me of how addictive the gameplay loop is and even when you die you want to go back for another run. It got pretty frantic past the second boss stage and I'm ruing my change from the dreadbound to the higher specced pylon driver, but it was fun anyway.
I can't wait to see the new abilities available in Saros and how they affect the gameplay, and really how the game is structured vs Returnal. I feel that I made my monies worth with that game having died so many times but there was plenty of replay value for me on the way to the platinum - but I certainly wouldn't complain if they removed the RNG from any trophies
@render I think I will be starting a new play through of Returnal this weekend (actually can't wait to be honest!) oh yeah I remember loving the tower, it was a great place to test out every gun and seeing the changes once you reached max level with them. I will have to agree with you that getting the platinum was the only unfun part of the game, here's hoping they have learnt their lession!
Yeah the new abilities look extremely fun, really don't think Housemarque could anything at the point to steer me away from playing Saros 😅
154 platinums and counting...

@render I tried the tower in Returnal a while back and was completely ass at it, so quickly gave up!
I've purposely not started any huge games so that I can play Saros straight away when it gets delivered. So I will mostly be playing shorter games, demos and trials in the build up.

@Oram77 I don't know why but I see 88+. Returnal would've been a 90+ if it didn't have the bugs and a save system at launch. The only area I'm unsure of is the story as in the previews it's the only part that had a more mixed response but probably due to the time limit.
@Oram77@JohnnyShoulder Lol, definitely looking forward to it. It was between Saros and Ghost of Yotei and in my heart of hearts I knew that Saros would be the only game to pull me away from my planned schedule of backlog games. Now I just need to see how I’m going to fit it in. 😅

I've so far managed to avoid finding out too much about Saros - so far. I can't wait to find out what Housemarque have put into the game to challenge us. I still look back fondly on that moment the first time I got to the Deralict Citadel only to be wrecked by a bunch of drones that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
I pre-ordered the physical version. Paying way more to play 2 days early does not seem like responsible spending to me (and I don't care much about the bonus deluxe edition cosmetics)
@Voltan Wait, there's a two day early acess version?!? Ugh I really hate how much of a trend that has become, like I get it for multiplayer games... but for single players ones? why?
Ordered mine from Amazon as I had some vouchers to spend, so it won't be coming early. If i did not have Amazon vouchers, I would have used Simply Games, Shopto or The Game Collection who do often deliver early here in the UK.
