The full picture is never revealed, the culprit is never really caught, and it’s that drive for closure that keeps Selene-and hopefully, you as the player-engaged in Returnal's cosmic horror. Actress Jane Perry delivers a mesmerizing performance that's full of breathy, poetic bravado, and it never overstays its welcome (unlike Forspoken). A sci-fi Sisyphean tale, Returnal tasks you with discovering recordings left behind by Selene, detailing her discoveries, struggles, and bouts with madness. She quickly discovers that someone-or something-is keeping her on the planet and forcing her to relive immediate dangers and a traumatic past. Returning to life after every death, Selene must battle extraterrestrial threats as she attempts to escape the ever-changing planet. You control Selene Vassos, an astronaut who ventures off course in pursuit of a signal called “White Shadow.” This leaves her marooned on a mysterious planet called Atropos, and trapped in a time loop. Just be prepared to get humbled by the game’s challenge and system requirements. Overall, Returnal is a great game that's made even better with this PC port, earning it our Editors' Choice award. Now, almost two years later, Returnal jumps to PCs with the console DLC and numerous new features. ![]() In fact, the third-person shooter was the developer’s first AAA effort, and an incredibly polarizing one with its extremely difficult, 3D roguelike gameplay. Debuting just six months after the PlayStation 5's launch, it was the brainchild of Finnish developer Housemarque, a studio best known for small-scale shooters such as Matterfall and Resogun.
