Going into SAROS as someone with a love-hate relationship with Returnal felt like booking another rollercoaster after swearing off the last one. I remembered the thrills, the nausea, and the moment I promised myself never again, right before lining up for one more ride. It was, as usual, totally worth my time.
Housemarque knows the perfect recipe for the bullet ballet. That formula is refined even further in SAROS, where you have a response to every projectile, no matter its color, unlike Returnal. It is not simply about dodging everything an enemy throws at you, but also about striking back hard with perseverance and precision. More on that later.
