The negative reviews about Epic are on such a high horse. That and PS network optional login are for cross-play - not a requirement. You guys are acting like it's GFWL levels when its very unobtrusive. Also you get like 1 cosmetic item for linking - thats it. People basing a whole negative review on 'locked' items are referring to 1 suit skin weow. Great game, people moan about anything

This game is a masterpiece! I played about 5 or 6 hours a year or two ago when I bought the game, and I bounced off of it. I would just get bodied after sinking maybe an hour or two into a run, it was brutal and felt very unfair. So I put it away and went on with my life for a couple of years. A couple of months ago though, I told myself I was going to try again and finish the game. At first it was like I remembered, long runs that ended in some little death when I wasn't expecting it, definitely still a bummer. But I persisted, I watched videos about tips and tricks, and after a while, it all was starting to click for me, things were getting easier, I wasn't caught off guard as often, and I was on target more. Then, after hitting a bit of a wall on one of the bosses, I got through, and I kept that run going until I rolled credits. But there's more to do after you roll credits in Returnal, and I dove back in again, and I was shocked by how improved I was. Occasionally I'd still get caught out, but when you're running into rooms without the fear of thinking, "Oh god, I hope I don't die, I've been on this run for like 3 hours!" things got wayyyyy easier. Now I've beaten the final boss 3 times, and it feels great every time. The atmosphere in this game is utterly amazing! Sound design is S tier, and once you get your head around the fast pace of the game, it truly is a joy to play! If you're bummed about Saros not coming to PC like I was, don't be, play the original masterpiece (Returnal) now, and don't give up! It's worth it!
