I'm playing Returnal right now to stave off the Dragon Age craving a few more days and having an absolute blast with the gameplay especially. the combat/gameplay loop is completely my jam it eats my brain very well for hours at a time. The art direction is really striking. but most of all I am entertained and endeared by this game's dedication to depicting a universe where truly no one has ever had a good time ever
#there is a point where horror loops around to comedy and this game merrily does that loop-de-loop for me constantly#it's so dedicated to being grim (a very valid artistic vision/pursuit well executed to be clear!) and I'm just. cackling all the way#it's about trauma in a really diegetic interesting way so again this is not a criticism! just an insight into me as a person I suppose lol#horror and comedy are twins as we all know but I think the turnaround happens at an earlier point for me than for most#returnal#selene might be The most unhinged protagonist I've ever played as. girl you were way too ready to stick that parasite on you!!!#she keeps doing nuts things with a deadpan face I would study her like a bug but I'm too scared of what I might see#this game does the same thing to me as dishonored where I get so fucking focused I forget to move or blink lol#is there anything quite like nailing a series of dodges in difficult 3d action games. no. flow state stays ON#since dragon age seems to be pulling some similar combat approaches it really could be right up my alley fingers crossed!#some similarities to the me:a gameplay too actually which I also loved a lot so like. next mass effect taking notes from returnal maybe???#could we be so lucky#(idk why 2d sidescrollers platformers and fighting games alike not only don't do the same thing for me but makes me actively SO unhappy)
