    I noticed it does seem easier now. Though I still managed to die in biome 5 a couple times. Still working on it.

    This now has a ‘suspend’ (save) option and photo mode…shame I sold it at the weekend due to the lack of save option! Lol

    Does it disable trophies?

    Why would it disable trophies?


    Following up, after 81 deaths and over 72 hours I finally finished the last biome. Yay! I didn't use the reconstructors much, but I used one on my last run. My first visit to the final boss was a disaster and I died pretty quick. I woke up at the reconstructor, headed back to the boss, and once I figured him out was able to defeat him without much trouble. Anyway, this game is really fantastic. I still feel compelled to jump back in and mess around. And I must say I'm loving the music too.

    Some had said things like save points or accessibility options is cheating and should prevent things like trophies or achievements. Not on here, but elsewhere. It was part of the larger ongoing discussions around able gamers and accessibility.

    There are still... things to do. Every end is a new beginning.

    It looks like Returnal's new update is automatically creating temp savegame position even if player does not request it via menu option. One twitter user reported that the game restored his run position even after a power loss.

    Just started playing and I'm dying a lot. It is fun though - gameplay is very addictive and my new daily routine is to play at night ("just one more try") and sleep at work during the day. It will not end well.
    Anyway, great game with great production values and mechanics, but not for everyone. I'am Housemarque veteran (finished Stardust and SuperStardust on Amiga) but it seem that this one will take some time to beat.

    Movement is everything in Returnal, be aware that you can dash through every bullet/laser that is not colored purple and melee hit can stun some nasty big enemies. Artefacts and parasites can influence the build a bit, but the only meaningful upgrades are found in weapons. You can upgrade their perks, and every weapon has few great ones that can melt enemies when maxed out to tier 3.

    To make things more complicated, there's some purple bullets you can go through and others, slightly different, you can't. Better not risk and just avoid all purple, though
