The hostile planet has a dense environment as she looks for a way back.
After dying once Selene discovers she is resurrected right away and is stuck in a time loop, waking up near the ship and having to start over all again.
The game is played from a behind view as Selene traverses the environments and fights extraterrestrial entities.
It consists of six biomes, each with a distinct biotechnological theme, environment and enemies.
Death is permanent and an intended part of the gameplay, as the knowledge from runs is used to push deeper into the alien world.
There are also several story fragments at certain points, through animated cut-scenes or interactive sequences played from a first-person view with elements of horror and mystery.
Each run takes place in a unique take on the biome with reshuffled rooms, randomized enemies and items.
There are also several metroidvania elements as Selene gradually gets access to new abilities, one of the few game elements that are carried over between runs.
Exploring a biome eventually leads to a boss encounter where multi-tier fights borrow heavily from bullet hell games, a developer trademark, as Selene has to dodge a large number of projectiles.
She has swift movement that incorporates running, jumping, dashing with a brief window of invincibility, a powerful melee attack and a single ranged weapon.
There are several weapons in the game, but only one can be carried at a time.
They include a pistol, a blaster and a shotgun, but also exotic types such as the Hollowseeker, an Electropylon Launcher, a Rotgland Lobber, a Pyroshell Caster, a Thermogenic Launcher and more, each with unique projectile types, an alternative fire mode with cooldown and an active reload system that punishes fu
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Returnal for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Returnal to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2021.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Returnal, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
