Sacred Symbols+, Episode 101: Returnal Review and Story Discussion (Patreon)

PlayStation 5's most unusual game is also one of its most critically-acclaimed to date. Returnal -- developed by one-time second party (and now fully-owned) developer Housemarque -- is the culmination of 25 years or so of rock-solid arcadey goodness. But the team that revolutionized the twin-stick shooter and modernized score-chasing walked away from both for their highest-budget game yet, a title with a dense story and a recurring series of worlds where you, as astronaut Selene, try to escape a mysterious and galactic purgatory. It's a journey worth delving into, and to do so, we brought games industry lawyer and friend-of-the-show Rick Hoeg on to accompany us on yet another trip to Atropos.
