Greg Kasavin, senior creative director of the studio Supergiant gamesknown for working on Hades, Bastion, Transistor and Pyre, called Returnal from the team Housemarque one of his all-time favorite games this year. The developer made the corresponding statement during an interview with the resource ComingSoon…
Kasavin spoke about his love for the creation of Housemarque in the context of comparing Hades and Returnal – both novelties can be attributed to the genre of roguelite action games, even if they are very different from each other.
“So far, Returnal is one of my favorite games this year. I have not been able to close a single race until the end, but I have already spent several tens of hours on them. I play it very tightly. Housemarque are great developers, I have been following their work for many years. “, – said Greg Kasavin.
Next, the creative director of Supergiant Games spoke about how Returnal differs from the highly successful Hades.
“Apart from the similar roguelite structure and emphasis on narrative elements, Returnal and Hades are very different games that look differently at action elements. I liked how Housemarque took the style of arcade bullet-hell games. which is present in their previous projects, and embodied it in the form of a roguelike. Our studio has a similar situation – in the same way we adapted the dynamic gameplay Bastion, which we worked on many years ago, and enriched it with roguelike systems, “explained Greg Kasavin.
Recall that the premiere of Returnal took place earlier this year only on Playstation 5… In turn Hades debuted on current consoles this month Playstationand on systems Xbox… Read our reviews here and here…
