I enjoyed Returnal until the exact moment I didn't, which is the halfway point when the game pulls the rug out from under you and goes "Sorry, you lose for story reasons, start over from scratch." It's one thing if a roguelike/lite resets your progress when you die, if you aren't good enough this run - that's kinda the genre. But it's another when that element is taken out of your hands. I had such a good setup and was enjoying the tight gameplay and tension the game had to offer, but in that instance, Returnal killed all momentum it had going for it. Try as I might, I couldn't muster enough enthusiasm to continue. A shame.
