Nice, man. Congrats. That’s my goal next. Just haven’t been able to play much lately.
I agree about the randomness for the ciphers. Idk how the audio logs and fragments work, but I watched someone stream themselves trying to find the final two ciphers, and it’s a huge pain. They really should’ve done something to make sure the cipher you need shows up somewhere in the level it’s located in. To play the level to completion just to find out the fragment didn’t randomize itself into the level is frustrating and doesn’t really respect the player’s time. This doesn’t take away from how amazing the core game of Returnal is, and Housemarque has now become one of my favorite devs, but they do really need to sort this issue out.
Are the audio logs and sun fragments the same as the ciphers in terms of randomization? Only thing I did since beating the core game was play Biome 4 to completion a single time. I didn’t see a sun fragment anywhere. Is it possible for a biome’s sun fragment to just not show up in a play through? (Same question for the audio logs, but I have a feeling the answer to both is yes)

I don't think they are random. I know the first 5 or so appear in places that aren't random. For example the 4th biome.
There is an area with a no dash zone. Also lava, and a red thing that shoots out those red circles. At the end is a purple door. The fragment was infront of that purple door.
Also it is important to note the fragment DOES get put on the HUD. So collect all of those little green triangles that indicate an "item".
My issue with the 6th fragment is that it was attached to a secret area I never saw. You get past one chest, and then another chest, and then you shoot something to make your way to it. The scout log is in the same area - so that one may be random. The rest I don't think so.

Audio logs however can be random. They are attached to areas and those areas can just not show up. If the "area" shows up the log shows up. Ciphers are the same way. They are attached to areas, but those areas are random.

Thanks for the tips, dude!
So it seems you liked it but with reservations. How would you rate or score it?
