No matter how much marketing I see, I still can't wrap my head around what No Return actually is.
Think Returnal, Deathloop, God of War: Valhalla. It’s a Roguelike. You die, you start over with randomized map and characters. You start with either Ellie or Abbie and can then unlock different characters along with weapons the more you play.No matter how much marketing I see, I still can't wrap my head around what No Return actually is.

My main disappointment with this compared to some of those is that there’s no story component.
This video may help show you some game stuff.
Essentially, depending on the randomized mode you play on you either have to defeat waves of either hunters, clickers, runners, etc (with a Bloater boss at the end of it all… after defeating the bloaters you can then unlock harder bosses).Interesting. I have never played ANY of the games that you mentioned lol, but it just sounds like a standard "waves of enemies" kind of thing.
My wife played the Lost Levels last night and was a bit disappointed.
I really hope we eventually do hear them talking about it down the line. But I do think they were right for not wanting to release and constantly operate a live service game. Just look at Suicide Squad right now. I’d rather ND do what they’re good at rather than chase a trend.Grounded II might be one of the best video game documentaries that is out there in the current limelight. There is a genuine openness and transparency to that of the developers; artists; writers and everyone on the ND team, that I have to give genuine respect.
It feels like an open look to the issues ND as a developer have faced; and it makes me really interested if they consider talking about Factions when they do a Part III Grounded, to talk about the story of that game and how it got cancelled.
I think it's been heavily rumored that he is!Oh, and Jeffrey Wright has to be reprising his role as Isaac… right?
