The GameInformer gave Housemarques latest creation a score of 95. They wrote, “Returnal is a relentless nightmare that’s a dream to play. The journey is full of horror and terrible discoveries, but also unbridled curiosity and wonder. If you have the taste for it, this is an adventure that begs to be experienced.”

TheSixthAxis commented on how Housemarque has progressed as a developer. They remember “playing Super Stardust HD on PS3, and see just how far Housemarque has come. Offering a visual bullet hell spectacle, a showcase for the DualSense controller, and a rewarding sci-fi narrative woven around the roguelike loop, we can say with unflinching confidence that Returnal is the PS5’s best game to date.”
IGN is always tough critics of a game. Thus, when they gave Returnal a rating of 80, it displayed the game’s potential to be one of the best and biggest this year. In their review, they mentioned, “gameplay of Returnal is sublime, with a great selection of weapons that each have a wide variety of interesting possible traits, meaningful strategic decisions that can either keep a run afloat or doom it to sink, and punishingly challenging yet rewarding gunplay that is consistently exhilarating.”
