It’s as follows 

 

when you put in rest mode, you may lose your progress if power cut or there’s an update

 

more importantly, both rest mode and this suspend is for “pussycats”. That’s not how this game is meant to be played.

 

Integrity and sanctity of the run is important to enjoy the developer’s work and experience the way it was intended 

 

?!? Putting the console on rest mode, chance of losing progress on a power cut or a firmware update... That's how the game is meant to be played?! 

 

Edit: I had to, reminded me of this.

He is counting the subjective chances of power cuts & updates as part of the game design

 

Yeah in that regard it would be “easier”

 

Or in normalcy,a QOL feature.

This is excellent

People who want the "developer's vision" can continue to play the game without saving. For the rest of us normal humans, this basic feature from every other rogue-lite is a welcome one.

It’s just a convenience feature. 

 

While I think it’s not necessary, it could be useful for time-sensitive players who want to save the extra 10 mins.  
 

As the difficulty is in no way affected by this suspend feature, it’s fine I guess.

you should read Dev earlier comments on rest mode. It’s posited by them as a worst case scenario resort. They clearly meant don’t play the game using rest mode. 
 

now clearly, this suspend feature is being made by sacrificing some “character” of the game to appeal to wider audience and make some money

Just like they “requested” ppl not to use rest mode

we can also “request” ppl not to use in game rest mode. 
 

I’m sure ppl will listen.

It IS affected 

 

when you rest and come back, you play with fresh energy, that’s basically cheating. That’s not how the experience was designed. You are supposed to play through the whole game accumulating fatigue.  
 

The best run and the best experience that the gamer may have is when the finish start to end all biomes in one uninterrupted flawless run

 

I remember someone on Reddit did it. Also I think @Heaven Angel also had a very long 5-6 hour run. Such runs are the most cherished gaming moments for such a game

Nothing would really change except the fact that ppl will save power consumption with no need putting consoles on rest mode. 
 

I have been saying this all along,it must be only coding technicalities that would have taken the developers this long to provide this option. 
 

The design or the game doesn’t change at all whatsoever. 

The suspend mode users won’t know the suffering of finding a 2-3 hour undivided attention time which is needed for longer runs.. 
 

I have never ever put it on rest mode to continue the progress.. my made checkpoints was Defeating bosses and quit because very high chances you die after the boss initially so ya this isn’t a dealbreaker for those who were asking for pause..

As silly as this sounds, I agree ?

 

The adrenaline rush you get when you finish the run in one sitting is amazing. 
That’s surely something you miss with the suspend feature.

Light cuts is part of developer's vision, you're suppose to suffer through it. Don't use inverter because that's cheating.

I would recommend that you sacrifice that run, even though very hard earned, when there’s a power cut

 

but when electricity gods bless you and you manage to beat the whole game in a seamless run, you appreciate and enjoy the game 10x more. The experience becomes much more valuable. 
 

here I am talking about luck but the game is built on RNG which means that this is a luck (and skill) based game

Unless you know exact time of power cut, its useless

[quixote_1989]

The more Returnal fans (here) try to explain the greatness of the game, the less appealing it becomes
