If you've played Returnal - especially on launch - it's likely that you've 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:lost your progress at some point. Quitting, crashing, or updating all end your runs for good - or, rather, they did. 🙈Housemarque has now implemented a save and quit feature that lets you return to the game when you're ready.
Almost every contemporary roguelike has this feature. The Binding of Isaac, Hades, Dead Cells, Don't Starve - you name it. When you quit, the game saves your current state so that when you return, you can pick up where you left off. That save is then erased. This doesn't mean you can save before a boss and reload when you die. That's called scum saving. This is just good ol' fashioned save and quit.
In-game, it's called "Suspend Cycle." When you open the menu, you'll find it at the bottom just below the also new 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:photo mode. It functions much like Ratchet & Clank, The Last of Us, or God of War's, adding a little box in the bottom left full of options such as lens, lighting, and filter, letting you capture the perfect picture of this surreal, alien landscape. Luckily, it pauses for you too. Otherwise, you'd likely find yourself digested by some ungodly monster lurking in the tendril woods.
In the video above, you can see the photo mode in all its glory as t𝓡he player captures striking images of bosses and local Atropos fauna.
We also get to see the Suspend Cycle feature in play - now, you don't have to worry about leaving your console on rest when you go to work. Hell, you can leave and play another game entirely if you want! It's what 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fans have been asking for since the game launched on April 30, after all.
It's completely free, too - it's dubbed the "Returnal Update 2.0" and seeks to make the game more approachable while appealing to the inner-photographer of players. So, get snapping and... quitting?
