* ScrappyMechanic: There's no way to quicksave. While you can pause your run in a pinch by putting the [=PS5=] into rest mode, an active run will get deleted if the console uses its auto-update functionality. This seems to be an intentional design choice since the initial prompt actually recommends using Rest Mode, meaning it's aware it's a feature people are expecting. Likely this is in place to combat a common exploit to make {{Roguelike}}s easier, which is to make a quicksave then disconnect from cloud saving so you can re-use it if your run goes south. Forcing the player to only use Rest Mode means there's no temporary save to store away. This was finally addressed in the 2.0 update, as the game now allow players to suspend the game and save their run without issues.

* AwardSnub: The game not being nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021 raised a few eyebrows due to ''Returnal'' being one of the better-received games of an otherwise weak year. It being passed over by the likes of ''VideoGame/{{Deathloop}}'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' and even fellow [=PS5=] exclusive ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'' didn't help either.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The 2.0 update finally added an option to suspend and create a temporary save file, which was one of the most highly requested features by those who were frustrated by the lack of a proper save feature at launch.

The accent is really hard to unhear, so good Perry's own Canadian accent instead of the upper-class English she uses in the latter games, however. Good luck getting that out of your head!
