how difficult is this game, say...compared to elden ring or dark souls? it looks incredibly fascinating but i struggle a little with these terrible difficult, frustrating games :p
That’s why a lot of speedruns are actually fairly boring. They just don’t play the game. It’s weird to me that people enjoy breaking and not really playing the games that they claim to like.
the only way to speed run this game even with knowing the glitches is to play it for hours. no one speed runs this game without actually knowing playing through it normally first. it took me about a week to beat this game but i know i can speed run it in like 3-4 hours now without dying guaranteed. these guys are just way skilled lol
Even unlimited health mod and playing the game "normally" and still trying to dodge all enemy attacks is still as fun as playing Returnal with damage taken
@@IcyAuron this may come as a shock to you but people enjoy things in different ways. i am sure most people who speedrun returnal have played it at their own pace several times before and enjoyed it that way, but also derive enjoyment from beating it as quickly as possible. people don't speedrun games because it's the "optimal" way to play a game. they do it because it's a fun challenge, and breaking games down into a maze to find their way through as quickly as possible is exciting to them.
