Saros shares similarities with Returnal – like a shifting planet and quick, challenging gameplay focused on dodging attacks – but it’s a standalone experience with its own unique story. While there are subtle nods to Returnal’s narrative and the same actress who played Selene appears in Saros, players can fully enjoy the new protagonist Arjun’s journey without any prior knowledge of the previous game. Saros aims to be more approachable than Returnal through a core gameplay adjustment, hopefully attracting a wider audience to Housemarque’s consistently high-quality work.

This year, I played a lot of portable, replayable games – rogue-lites especially – because I traveled quite a bit. From trips to Paris to experience Pokemon Legends Z-A, to the opening of Epic Universe, having the Switch 2 and Xbox ROG Ally X with me kept me entertained and actually made me enjoy some games even more than I expected.

I’ve been playing some seriously cool open-world games lately, and what really sets them apart is how they just let you go. Forget those games that hold your hand every step of the way with quest markers and constant tutorials. These ones just drop you in, sometimes with nothing but the clothes on your back, and say, ‘Okay, figure it out!’ It’s totally up to me to learn how to survive, decide what I want to achieve, and then actually do it. Seriously, no quest markers, no help – it’s all on me, and it’s awesome.

Watch out! The Prologue has three important logbook entries that are easy to miss. If you don’t find all three during the Prologue, you won’t be able to fully complete the game.
