Saros Exclusive Preview: Surpassing Returnal and Poised to Be the Shooter of the Year
Following an exclusive visit with the developers in Helsinki, the excitement for Saros is boundless. Our editor Michi is convinced: this game has the potential not only to overshadow Returnal but also to rise as the best shooter of the year, or even the decade.
We delve into the outstanding gunplay and innovative mechanics that make Saros an even faster, more aggressive, and more polished experience than its spiritual predecessor. A more forgiving rogue-lite system with permanent upgrades and the strategic use of the Soltari Shield completely revolutionize the gameplay feel, without sacrificing the familiar high challenge. The three-hour hands-on session was a single, intense adrenaline rush.
Saros aims to set new standards on the PS5, not just in gameplay, but also narratively and technically. Immerse yourself in the dark sci-fi scenario surrounding the planet Kakosa and a mysterious mining expedition. Discover spoiler-free how the new hub world 'The Passage' functions, how protagonist Arjun Devrash battles the madness of isolation, and how a dynamic 'Solar Eclipse' surprisingly alters the level design mid-game.
Furthermore, we clarify how the impressively detailed smoke and particle effects challenge even the most modern hardware, and what the current status is regarding a possible PC version.
Let yourself be captivated by the unique 'cabin fever' atmosphere and discuss your impressions with us in the comments!
