>Although the users score PS5/PC is at like 7.5 and 6.5. So that is kind of 'underrated'. Not sure why thats so low there. Did
Anecdotally, a lot of people really hated it because they had no experience with roguelites before and didn't like the starting from the beginning after you die aspect of it. There was also quite a bit of hate because you couldn't save mid run and come back to it the next day, also pretty common in rogue games but not really mainstream.
As for the roguelite aspects of it they are lite, the powerups that you loot are pretty basic stat boosts that don't really change up how you play all the much, that being said it was a solid game with 10/10 sound and visual design and I'm excited at the prospect of a Returnal 2 or a spiritual successor.
Edit
From a personal viewpoint I'd also have loved a "loop" mechanic where you start from the beginning after killing the last boss in an NG+ sort of sense.
