Returnal - DOUBLE DASH



Housemarque's PS5 exclusive Returnal promises ground and air dashing (brilliant), as well as a menagerie of alien menaces that run the gamut from moon beasts to slithering approximations of the player character. There are notes of From Software's games, not just in some of the enemy designs but also a gameplay model that appears to be very much rooted in opportunistic attacks and invincibility frame retreats. It's also encouraging that despite their move to a three dimensional movement model, twin-stick shooter experts Housemarque haven't turned their back on resurgent, crashing, waves of regimented bullets.
