Thank you for this, i'm several years late to the party but have decided that I'm not putting myself through hell trying to beat this game. I'll just enjoy watching this instead and save myself hours of suffering :)
I played Returnal at launch. Couldn’t stand it, it was too hard. Years later I gave it another shot and I absolutely love it. Best PS5 exclusive in my opinion. The controls are so tight it’s unreal.
Maybe I missed this but is this speed run being done with the most current updates? I know the developers had gotten rid of some of the previous speed running tricks with their later patches. Potentially due to the IGN speed run video they were involved in.
What i dont like about this game is that after a dozen or so runs i realized that 90% of the time you are better off to just go past enemies. Like you would in a speedrun. Thats not why i play games. That said, this is pretty amazing.
@@izenbice hi, I actually no-lifed this game and completed act 2 now. I would say it's a case of choosing your battles at the start of the run, but definitely try and kill as many as you are capable of handling to get the obolites and drops. don't inspect the dead scouts unless you're ready for a really hard fight. also, some 'treasure rooms' you teleport to can actually randomly spawn a mini-boss & fuck you up 🥲
@@three_seashells bet, thanks for the reply. Bro I inspected the scout and about shit myself, was not expecting a boss lmao. I beat the first boss last night on the 3rd try (like 5 hours in) and just got to the mars biome. I'm pretty trash at video games like this but I'm like determined to beat it ya know. Feels like you get better and better each run.
@@izenbice i also wanna reply to this, nice to know peeps are still playing this game lol. So i just beat act 2 a few mins ago. Wanna say that fighting all enemies does indeed have its perks, but it’s not completely necessary. This game is great because pretty much everything in it is all about risk. Me personally? I don’t run from fights so I blast everything in sight 😂
I guess I got lucky. I died twice to the first boss, happened to get a random player to join me and help me out. Then we died in the second boss. I died a second and third time on the second boss. I got some leech bullets and I beat the second boss and continued to beat the third and fourth in the same run
What I hate about this game is that it kinda feels like you do it for nothing. An the end Selene is just like “yeah, I deserve this”, and nothing happens. I think it’s a good game but not for me tbh.
![Returnal NG any% speedrun in 58:09 [IGT]](/img/1.gif)
god I love this game with a passion. Cannot wait for Housemarque‘s next title
I would love to have something just like this, I miss the dreadbound already
@@kadoman0same here. I m completely fine with next title being similar. It's like no other.
Took me 6 weeks to beat this game. Amazing run.

Excellent run, this is even better than what the devs reacted to.

Love that you're still playing this amazing game. Nice work.
0:49 disrespected tf out of Selene’s body 😂
Amazing run.
Very nice run 👍
Mate you are a legend 😮

wow amazing
Looks like it is a developer walkthough... Pretty nice...
I Hope Metroid Prime 4 looks at least this good.
How ironic that the duration is virtually the same as a Super Metroid speedrun
Returnal is fun it needs a sequel or a spiritual sequel.
Nice
When you are actually the final boss 😸

I have only got 2/3 hours so far, but is this true? Don't you need the adrenaline stacks and currency drops
@@three_seashells yo im also 2/3 hours in, i've heard you do actually want to kill all the enemies for stam / items. Is that the case?

What a beautiful game, the environment remiinds me of Quake 2
Bro you shredded Nemesis. I wanted to see how you handled it with low stats and you only got hit once.
No way to make that jump at 17:01, tried many times the same way. Update?
How u do u do jump+dash in a same time?
dash - melee - junp
Took me 33 deaths to defeat phrike. I’m new to gaming so this guy is surely overkill.
Like a box of chocolates....
Hardest game ever made. Really sucks cause it was becoming my all time favorite at launch but only got to chapter 3
How he defeated phrike made me feel so stupid😂
my dad maked returnal
Can someone please explain how’s he’s moving/jumping like that
Dash+melee+jump
@@shashankbhan4046 not working bro, are you playing controller or mouse kb
@@jvhzillv169 mouse+keyboard, you don't have to press them together. You have to dash then jump then melee. It's a command in a quick succession
@@shashankbhan4046 will it work using controller tho? That’s what I’m using unfortunately
@@jvhzillv169 yeah, those ps5 guys do it on the controller
You eres un pro yo apenas llegue 4

Bruh for real less than an hour.. I feel a type of way lol

The ng+ runs have huge views and they are so boring. Like how is a movement-only 3:50 run entertainment? BORING.
This however, is impressive
This game is too easy and too short
