Saros is almost here, and reviewers like our own Rory Mellon think it’s one of the most exhilarating PS5 exclusives in years. This isn’t surprising, given that it’s a spiritual sequel to Housemarque’s equally beloved Returnal. The excitement for Saros couldn’t be higher.
While I admire everyone’s enthusiasm for this highly anticipated game, it’s not a sentiment I share. See, I’ve never much cared for roguelikes (or rogue-lites) like Hades or Dead Cells. Even Returnal failed to win me over when I played it at launch. Because of that, I went into Saros with pretty tepid expectations—especially since it was effectively pitched as Returnal 2.
