I strongly recommend: Saros (Review)

This is an explicit full review of Saros, and the creator is overwhelmingly enthusiastic, calling it a must-play PS5 game and saying people should buy it immediately. He argues that Housemarque improved on Returnal in nearly every area, especially combat feel, level design, storytelling, accessibility, audio, and overall structure. His few caveats are mostly about how hard the game can still be, but even those are framed as strengths because players can tune the challenge to their liking.

He has a few minor weapon and pacing frustrations, but his overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive and he says the game was amazing and lived up to the reviews.

I Finished Saros… I Wasn't Ready For This

The creator clearly reviews Saros after finishing it, praising its addictive bullet-hell combat, excellent visuals, strong controls, and satisfying core loop while calling it an improvement over Returnal in several ways. He also criticizes the story for being less engaging, some weapon balance especially the shotguns, and the frustrating roguelite grind and bosses, but concludes that the positives massively outweigh the negatives and calls it damn good stuff.

Their view is mildly positive: they frame it as a more streamlined and approachable evolution of Returnal, while clarifying that it still is not truly an easy-mode experience.
