PS5 roguelike Returnal is less than two months old but already for Prime Day – handily its lowest price yet. As one of the few true PS5 exclusives, Returnal quickly became one of the strongest showcases for what the new console is capable of, and a return to form for bullet-hell specialist Housem𝓡arque. For nearly 30% off, it's a no-brainer for PS5 owners with even a passing interest in third-person shooters.

At its core, Returnal is a bullet-hell roguelike about surviving and (hopefully) escaping an alien planet. You play as Selene, who finds herself trapped on the mysterious, shapeshifting planet after a crash landing. And I do mean thoroughly trapped – not even death can free Selene, since she winds up at the start of he♚r journey every time she dies. But by mastering the procedurally generated challenges, accumulating small but meaningful per🧔manent upgrades, and piecing together the bizarre messages embedded in the planet, you can make it a little further in each run.

Returnal is a hard, weird, beautiful game overflowing with more alien oddities and neon projectiles than you could count in a thousand lives. There's nothing else quite like it, even in Housemarque's extensive library of bullet-hell arcade games, and it's easily one of the most striking PS5 games available today. As our own Ben Tyrer wrote in our Returnal review:

"Returnal is a breakaway from the type of exclusive Sony has focused on in recent years, using a genre that has only recently come back into fashion as a starting point for a story that makes⭕ you work to understand it, offering plenty to chew on without wrapping it up neatly. It’s a♕n unexpectedly daring step forward for a developer who has refined what makes its style so compelling while adding in new elements."
