The Real Review

Saros is a slick, fast-paced action game from Housemarque where players enjoyed the high-octane third-person combat and stellar graphics, but the story and difficulty left many people divided. The combat loop is the main draw, with comparisons to the developer's previous hit Returnal being a common and favorable point. The value is seen as okay but not great, and the difficulty is a real sticking point for some, making the progression feel punishing. Overall, it's a solid PS5 exclusive for action fans who don't mind a challenge, but it doesn't fully escape the shadow of what came before it.
