About this game

Returnal: Ascension adds a co-op mode to the game allowing the player to team up with another player to try and break the cycle as well as an endless mode called The Tower of Sisyphus where the objective is to keep climbing the tower to discover new secrets and challenges.

Returnal is a 2021 roguelike third-person shooter video game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It follows Selene Vassos, an astronaut who lands on the planet Atropos in search of the mysterious "White Shadow" signal and finds herself trapped in a time loop. After crash-landing on a shape-shifting alien planet, Selene finds herself fighting tooth and nail for survival. Every time she’s defeated, the player is forced to restart the journey.

Break the cycle of chaos on an always-changing alien planet where even death is no escape. After crash-landing on this shape-shifting world, Selene must search through the barren landscape of an ancient civilization for her escape. Isolated and alone, she finds herself fighting tooth and nail for survival. Again and again, she’s defeated – forced to restart her journey every time she dies.
