Jesus Christ, Returnal is incredible with a mouse
From the very first moment I got my hands on Returnal on PS5, I knew I was in for something special. Even before I fired a single shot, the game spoke to me through its retro 80s sci-fi aesthetics, its gloomy, nebulous world, and a mystery that hooked me from the off.
Returnal ended up being the first (and really, only) game that justified my purchase of Sony’s unusually large, expensive and hard-to-find console.
The first time my run ended because I couldn’t whip my aim around fast enough, I knew I was going to struggle with the rest of the game. I wanted nothing more than to be playing with a mouse at framerates in the 90s to 100s. This week, I finally got my wish.
