Returnal is really nice, feels like a proper next gen game, great graphics, play style and the instant loading times are brilliant...
Mind you, it's really fucking hard. I just cleared something called a 'containment gate' for the first time which is a three phase spawn area of difficult mobs that you're locked into once you enter. I had the best guns I've ever had and after clearing it I 'saved' my progress (1 time save only) and attempted the first boss for the 10th time, he killed me twice, so now I'm back to the very start of the game.
Thing is, because the game randomises each time you die and you don't know what you're getting when you walk through each door (zero load time is great) the first room I walked into had the containment gate meaning I could try it immediately rather than grinding through the level to get to it.
I honestly don't know if it was good that I cleared it early on or not. It's too difficult to say for sure what the best strategy is. But the idea of clearing this game from start to finish when I can't do the first boss does not bode well
