SAROS review covering Housemarque’s roguelite combat, bosses, and progression, plus where its story and pacing fall short on Carcosa.

I will never dislike a game that looks this good and plays this well. But the lessons that Housemarque learned from Returnal resulted in a game that is less than the sum of its parts.

Saros' narrative often feels at odds with the kind of experience it wants to be, but there's no denying this is another top-tier action game from Housemarque.

Saros builds on its predecessor, but can it evolve the formula without losing the intensity that made it compelling?

Saros' hostile alien worlds are gorgeous and its controls are tight, but it is an ultimately disappointing spiritual successor to Returnal.

Sublime gameplay and a stellar central performance make Saros one of PS5’s most memorable first-party games…

Saros succeed Returnal with a bigger sci-fi story to unravel and fresh layers to its bullet hell third-person action. Housemarque at their best.

Saros' ambitions aren't always fulfilled, but Housemarque's fluid action still bangs.

Moving, shooting, improving (both in stats and skill), winning, and even losing is an unequivocal joy, and I only wish I could write this final sentence faster so I can hurry up and get back to planet Carcosa and attempt another run.

Saros is a phenomenal game that flips Housemarque's roguelite formula on its head and improves upon its spiritual predecessor in every conceivable way.
