Returnal is a classic and love that Rahul Kohli is the lead

They describe it as the perfection of their gameplay loop - I have faith in Housemarque

Its gonna be like Returnal.

i hope they improve on some things though, like build variety

From PS Blog:

A key gameplay distinction between Saros and Returnal is permanent resources and progression making every death valuable. After every death you will face a changed world, but in Saros you will be able to choose and permanently upgrade your loadout from an evolving set of weapons and suit upgrades to "come back stronger" to overcome the challenges you face on Carcosa.

That's a major change. Permanent upgrades will go a long way with a larger audience

Selenes rogulike world was built around Greek mythology, this is clearly based on Hindu/buddhist mythology becuase of the main character

This game also unlike Returnal has a cast of other characters. There will be other NPC’s that you can talk to and help you.

my issues with Returnal

• not a intersting enough hub, its nice to have a firelink type shrine to come back to and progress
• upgrades didn’t feel meaningful enough, too much left up to RNG
• not enough build variety, too many runs feel the same and they’re long

RIP SURF YOU WOULD HAVE GOT TO LEVEL 3 for sure
