One of the most commonly recommended games I've seen for people getting their PS5 over the holidays. I definitely wouldn't say it's underrated.

I agree with you \w/ There is some peoples who doesn't enjoy the game because it's very very difficult but me I really enjoyed it !

I think the difficulty is more tied to your RNG for artifacts and such. I think i had 3 or 4 deaths first time i started it on first biome, the breezes through all 3 in one go when the drops was in my favour. Then same happened on 4th, then breezed through all 3 in one go when i got good stuff again.

Well, that, and when you start out, you don't have some of the best stuff unlocked yet.

It's either very rng or just being used to such games.
I went all the way to the end of the second zone on my first run fe. But no clue if that was rng or not xD

Sounds like enter the gungeon. Which I sucked at.

Didn’t the game sold rather poorly though? Maybe that’s what they mean by underrated

I wouldn't know. I'm part of the holiday PS5 crowd. It appears to be included in PS games catalog which is probably why it's easy to recommend now. Many people can try it without having to buy it.

Came here to say this. Every week there's some karma post that's such and such amazing game is underrated. When it literally gets 9 out of 10 reviews and sells great.

It's weird - on one hand, it was really well received, so we'll received that Sony was willing to buy Housemarque.
But at the same time, the "gaming buzz" seems to.....not be there? The only reason I learnt it released on the PC was because somebody made a post about how silent the PC release was. Usually, when a hyped game comes out, you'd expect to see at least a couple of "guys, look at me play this" posts on something like the Steamdeck sub, but I've not seen that much buzz with Returnal, when comparing it against its critical acclaim, so...weird.

I think the argument could be made that it's undervalued, underestimated and underappreciated by the average gamer

But snowflakes like to say underrated to something that they like

Snowflakes? You've been watching too much right wing hate media if that's just in your daily vocabulary there pal.

Sorry im not familiar with thought police irl. I think calling popular things underrated or saying "unpopular opinion: this game is great" is just seeking attention or making a click bait. So making yourself special but your are not special with that opinion

Yikes, not gonna have a conversation with that. Enjoy your hate parade though.
