Returnal is an excellent action game, but its strengths are undermined by its grinding progression, which reveals the friction between big-budget action games and roguelites.
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
The games for Humble Choice Bundle for the month of April, 2024, have begun to be revealed, and they include Returnal.
Some solid choices but i feel they're late to the party. I'm subscriptioned out like most people.
This made me check out the current month and holy crap it's actually a great bundle. It's unfortunate that Saints Row is among them but the Nioh 2 and Afterimage make it worth it. I think I'll probably grab it and give away Saints Crap.

Ok… uh, yea, ok.
All I can say is I’m in the 4th Biome and it is rough. When I die now I get sent back to the third. Only positive that is consistent is you can usually get enough Ether for Reconstruct machine that gets you one extra life as well as hopefully enough money for that astronaut. I’ve collected 1 of three keys I needed next and then I died. I hope to god it lets me save at least that progress. It is without a doubt a challenge. Fun as heck to. I can see where one would put it down for a day though. Your save point is your crash site. I would say feel free to close the game anytime after you die but also keep grinding your weapons. In the daily challenges they give you weapons with Tier Three perks and if you can get one of that power in the actual game life would be easier for sure.
That's what she said.
No, no its not. It's a short game.
