01Overview
Returnal is a third-person roguelike shooter developed by Housemarque. Players control astronaut Selene Vassos, who crash-lands on the alien planet Atropos while investigating a mysterious signal known as White Shadow. Each death sends Selene back to the crash site, while the planet rearranges its rooms, enemies and item placements between runs. Combat is fast and projectile-heavy, with players constantly moving, dodging and switching between weapons with different traits. Progression comes from discovering new equipment, unlocking permanent traversal abilities and learning how different biomes and enemies behave. Story fragments, audio logs and environmental details gradually reveal more about Selene, the planet and the time loop keeping her trapped there.
