Should I stream Returnal on Twitch?

2/100 · Closed off· 1 viewers per streamer on paper

Not really. Almost all of the 5 people watching Returnal in English are already committed to the streams they are on, leaving about 1 across 3 other English streams. You would start around #1 of 6.

About 1 of the 5 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 0 each if you split it with the 3 other English streams below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #1.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

“I really enjoyed my time with Returnal, but there were certainly frustrating moments as well. I think that getting the secret endings was a bit too much work, considering you have to go around collecting items AFTER you've beaten the game once + beat the final…”

“From starting the game to end credits a recurring thought continued pulsing in the recesses of my brain through every session of play whenever I booted up Returnal. A feeling of familiarity, and one I attribute to an earlier playthrough of indie game called Si…”

“The gameplay itself is quite good, and fighting enemies is fun, but there are a lot of frustrating issues outside of the combat. The game does a poor job of explaining the weapons. You can see their names and some properties, but it doesn’t really tell you wha…”
