A particular structure - Returnal: how to save the game

Returnal is not the usual GST. The game is about Selene, a space pilot who, due to an accident, is shipwrecked on an unknown planet. Here, the protagonist tries to trace the traces of an unknown radio signal and, for this reason, enters the depth darkness of the planet. The marked playful component, however, immediately takes precedence over the narrative. The events that Selene will encounter will mostly be a pretext to shoot and beat all enemies that stand in front of us.

Nothing strange so far. The peculiarity you need to know is that the structure of the title has strong connotations roguelike. Which means, every time you die you will be transported to the crash site of your spaceship at the start of the game. There are not save zones or bonfires that will allow you to save your game. For that, here are some tips on how to save in Returnal.

This way the game will simply be paused and when you pick up the pad again you won't have to start over all over again.
