Awesome, thanks! Funny, I'm two types of color blind and I actually wasn't bothered by Returnal without color blind settings even though the game is very color-focused with items and whatnot. Weird.

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I didn't test going into a new biome from the same save, are they randomized when you start your run or when you enter the specific biome? Guess we'll find out soon enough.
Correct. You can even save before opening the chest right before the boss and reload until you get your preferred weapon to face it.
After losing 3 runs due to updates and one to a system crash, all while in suspend mode, I've been waiting for this before putting any more time into it. Looking forward to jumping back into it!
I'll be honest that I'm surprised it took this long for the feature to be added, I wasn't sure if I'd just end up not coming back to the game, but timing is good for what is a light end to the year.

Hmm, wonder what I'm doing wrong. Save scum doesn't work for me as pressing options on Returnal just comes up with "Check sync status of Saved data" instead of "Upload/Download saved data". Doing this just syncs both to the latest save, which just screwed me over.
Every other game says "Upload/Download saved data"

Check to see if sync saves is enabled for Returnal, look in the system settings for the PSN+ cloud save settings.
Please, I need some sort of DLC right into my veins... I've already got the platinum when it launched
Two times now I've used the save mechanism, and both times it deleted my controller changes. I had dash on R1, and it moved it back to circle.
Those are amazing, goddamn
Yea this happens to me as well. Minor inconvenience for such a big improvement to QoL. But hopefully they do fix this
PS. Everyone should move Dash to one of the shoulder buttons. It makes the game much easier.
Dash & Jump on the shoulder buttons is the GOAT control scheme. Maximum mobility.
This bugs me too, but after a while I was able to spot them visually. They have some extra white or gold sparkles coming off them.
Yeah, and while I haven't looked too closely, I feel like they're marked pretty prominently with the purple "eyedrop" symbol on the minimap, so that helps too.
Welp, with the benefit of save scumming I finally beat it and I'm not even ashamed.
I got this game at launch and I found the difficulty just a little too unforgiving.
Went to the final boss with a good weapon, a double length health bar and a big med kit. Beat it first try.
Might even go after the post game stuff.

You want both to be able to dash at any moment and retain full control of direction and camera while dashing, because that's something ideally you'll be doing a lot.
I moved jump too, to the other shoulder button (L1) for the same reasons.
Movement becomes much more fluid and seamless since you can go from one motion to the other without losing control of anything at any moment. And movement is how you survive in Returnal.

I just wanted to echo one thing you said:
Movement Is How You Survive In Returnal.
That is all. :)
Thanks for the response. I'll pick it up one of these days when it's around 30 bucks. Hopefully I can find it digitally.
Just want to chime in on how much of a crime it is that none of the boss themes are included in the OST, for whatever reason. If you haven't finished the game yet I'd hold off on hunting them down if you're curious, because a couple of them pack a real wallop when you consider the staging/music/action of said bosses, and experiencing them all in symphony for the first time is just magical. Hyperion I'm looking at you.
How are you save scummin'?
I got the impression you couldn't reload a save, you could just return back to an unfinished run.
Suspend run.
Cloud Save/Save to USB.
Resume Run.
Lose.
Download Cloud/USB Save file.
Resume Run.
Probably lose again.
PS5 cloud saves...upload your save before you enter a boss room and download back from the cloud if you die.
Everyone was talking about a suspend feature, but now it's clear that launching the game without Photo Mode was the real issue all along!
Turn off sync. Suspend run. Close game. Save to cloud. Restart game. Close game if not suitable and copy cloud save to console. Restart Game.
Eat Sleep Die Repeat.
Uhhh, I registered just for this thread 😅😂🤩
I've Platinum'd and have put over 120 hours into Returnal. I was slightly surprised by how much I'm enjoying the new Photo Mode, though:
Phenomenal, riveting game, hope we get some content DLC someday.

Holy shit, I'm loving these photos. Great work, everyone! I think I'll spend this evening on the Atropos tour bus myself.
