Returnal is a beautiful game and housemarque has definitely created something unique with a familiar formula. Although, this game just feels a little too hard. At first it was somewhat rewarding, but after every death you get tired of the repetition. For me it feels like each death is one step closer to uninstalling the game. Returnal feels like it doesn't want to be played and coming from someone who thinks the dark souls franchise is easy that says a lot. On top of all the constant deaths and progress loss, it doesn't help that I continue to run into bugs where i can't interact with anything, locking me in an area having to restart yet again. This could've been an amazing game, but seeing as how hard it is with little to no reward, a large group of Returnals intended audience are not going to continue to play this game.
