# Is this game even beatable❓

If I ever meet someone who has actually finished this game, I will have to shake their hand and ask how in the world they managed to do so. I picture it taking over 100 deaths for most people, sometimes several hundred. I've noticed a few people over on Reddit saying they beat it a lot quicker, but those gamers must have either been godly or figured out a secret trick.

I'm sure Returnal speedrunners exist, but they cannot be very common. Anybody who manages to beat this game in a single life deserved to be honored in a gamer hall of fame. I didn't even make it out of the first biome until dying nearly ten times. The second biome is even worse and I am not sure if I will ever make it out of there alive.

I still have not been able to get back to the now opened portal that leads to the Crimson Wastes. I keep succumbing to an over encumbrance of enemies in the Overgrown Ruins. I don't want to avoid every single fight because I need to secure some artifacts, parasites, consumables, and of course a strong weapon before venturing into the even more difficult Crimson Wastes. At the same time, there are extremely dangerous enemies that I am now steering clear of that way I can actually survive long enough to make it to the portal.

The thing about Returnal is, you never know what is going to be where. I could be taking what seems to be the safest route possible and staying focused on getting to that portal, but the next thing I know the game decides that I am to be stuck in a locked room filled with violent aliens wanting to crave a look at my motionless dead body on the ground. 

Skill and luck both play a huge part in progressing in Returnal. During my tenth cycle, I was nowhere near lucky or skilled enough to get out of the Overgrown Ruins. Another death sends me back to the beginning to try again soon.

Do you have a PS5? If so, go for it! I have loads of recommendations for great PS5 games. I don't really play any other consoles though.

@gangstalking · 
The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask  @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
