Returnal - "Hades x Aliens x Metroid" - PC version officially confirmed

Outstanding.

Love the topic title by the way :lol:

Im on another run tonight. (not at the top of the crash site)

For those following the below is all I need. I did find 1 glyph in Biome 2 the other day but apart from that I have been playing for over 30 hours trying to get them to spawn. I have let my feelings be known to Housemarque.

1x Glyph in Biome 2
1x Glyph in Biome 3
1x Recording in Biome 5

Holy gooseberry fool that was cruel of Jiggles :lol:

By the way, I've read *lots* of people are stuck on glyphs spawning for the platinum trophy. You're definitely not alone on that front. (Nor is your game borked.)

I was expecting Rubix to have been so deep in reading about the game at this point he would have got it, but if not that someone else would have let him in on it. Worst case, he spends maybe 10 minutes trying to get to the door before looking it up and coming back to shout at me. :lol:

But his excitement was beyond what I was expecting and I thought he might now keep trying, what with how many hours he's run the same areas over and over by this point. I was genuinely afraid I'd forget to check in on the thread for a few days and come back to Rubix losing his mind with 30 hours spent trying to get to the door.

I found the last one in Biome 2! One more in 3 to find

OMG im in an area ive never seen before in biome 3, could this be the perfect run

Additional: What a run, both biome 2 and 3 now complete. All glyphs found. Just a recording to find in biome 5 for the platinum!

Im so happy I can even forgive Jiggles

Additional/Additional: second run of the day!

Just ran straight through Biome 4 to Biome 5, ran through one of the areas and came upon yet another area I had not seen before. My heart stopped and I looked at the map, what is that shiny thing in the corner?

Platinum Get, what a great day after so many negative runs!

Well done! Chuffed for you.

I've never been as buzzed on someone else getting a Platinum :lol:

But I know how utterly nails the game is, and the drop rate on these things is just bonkers low, so this really is a heck of an achievement. And I'm not in the least bit mad jelly that I couldn't attain it due to my pos console crashing all the time

(

Seriously though, very well done!)

Thanks SoK, I nearly gave up so many times after runs and runs with nothing gained. Im glad i stuck it out but spent nearly double the amount of hours it took me to complete the game just to find missing glyphs.

Utterly crazy how long that took. Too long. gg on persevering.

I like to think I brought the Midas touch

Coincidence my friend, coincidence

Congrats Rubix.

Now, SoK it's your turn to finish it off? :simper:

Maybe I'll try again when the PS6 is due to be released and so I won't care about my PS5 dying.

Woohoo SoK to follow next

Returnal thoughts

Will you play this for me and get the Plat, Rubix? :slol:

Nah I’m not that cruel. It seems I’m getting more angry and angry with this. I think it’s better for me to delete the game and returnal (ho ho) to it later. Much later. Maybe in two-three years time.

I finally started this today having picked up a copy a month or so ago.

Put just over 2 hours in and initial impressions are very good. Looks great and controls well. I'm already intrigued to see how the story develops too.

Just as I loved Hades, I can see myself getting into this, experimenting with different loadouts and combinations. Even a few hours in there seems to be a good mixture of options available.

Will hopefully get to put some more time in over the weekend and complete a few more runs to see how differently they go and how Selene improves between them.

Completing the first biome on your second run is a good effort.

With the secret rooms, the enemies that spawn in them are normally really powerful, I found it best to just teleport straight back out if there was an enemy there.

I need to get back to this to finish up the last few trophies, I think the RNG has been tweaked so it's easier to collect all of glyphs now.
