But yeah, it feels really good to play.

I'm really enjoying it.

Maddie, to your point, by the way, I believe that

It's after the second boss is when you unlock mods that let you make the experience way easier for yourself.

What you'll need to do, I don't know how, it sounds like you're pretty early, but have you gotten the second chance ability yet?

I just got that.

Okay, that'll make things easier for you.

I would call it an astronaut because it's an astronaut in Returnal.

Sure, yeah.

That'll make things easier for you, especially on that first boss.

Another pro tip is that there's a shortcut that you can take as soon as you do the whole moon thing.

There's a shortcut, so you don't have to play through the second part of the level.

You can just go right into the boss.

So just find that shortcut.

Great.

No fast travel, but shortcuts for sure.

Well, I mean, you can fast travel between the different regions, but there's no real fast travel.

It's more about the shortcuts.

But yeah, overall, really, really enjoying it, I would say.

Yeah, well, the shield really changes things because in Returnal, it's all about dodging the bullets.
