The PS5<\/a> exclusive Returnal<\/a> is an unforgiving, rogue-lite bullet-hell horror title, where death is inevitable. The planet of Atropos is ever-changing and utterly hostile, which means you will see protagonist Selene die over and over again. If the challenge to “break the cycle” is a bit much for you, the question of “does Returnal have an Easy Mode” or a story mode might pop into your head. In this article, we answer that burning question and discuss how you can at least decrease Returnal’s difficulty a little bit.<\/p>\n

Does Returnal have an Easy Mode?<\/h2>\n

We are just going to rip off the bandaid right away. Returnal does not have an easy mode. However, some sections of each Biome are easier to get through than others.<\/p>\n

In an interview with PushSquare<\/a>, the game’s director, Harry Kreuger, said: “That relationship people have with the difficulty will not be as rigid or intimidating as it might seem initially.”<\/p>\n

Despite losing a lot when you die, some upgrades do carry over. Therefore, the more you play, trying to “break the cycle” over and over again, the more powerful you will become. <\/p>\n

While Returnal does not have an Easy Mode, there is a way to decrease the game’s difficulty a bit.<\/p>\n

How to decrease Returnal difficulty<\/h2>\n

As with other rogue-like titles, the more you play the stronger you get. Death is inevitable, but you can become a bit stronger by gaining new abilities and grinding until you are strong enough to take on your next challenge.<\/p>\n

While there are no difficulty settings in Returnal, you can decrease the difficulty just a bit by heading to the game’s settings menu, then gameplay and turning up the aim-assist to “High”.<\/p>\n

While this won’t make enemies less daunting, some players might not have perfect aim. Turning up the aim-assist to its maximum will allow you to focus on dodging attacks while decreasing Returnal’s difficulty by a small margin as you won’t need pin-point aim anymore.<\/p>\n
