Housemarque's Saros Launches on PS5 to Strong Reviews, Praised as Studio's Best Work Yet
Housemarque's Saros has launched on PS5 to glowing critical reception, with reviewers calling it a spiritual successor to Returnal that refines and builds on the studio's signature roguelite formula. Push Square declared it Housemarque's best game yet, while Digital Foundry highlighted its beautiful visuals, polished execution, and notably more approachable design compared to its predecessor. Both outlets agree the game represents a high point for the studio.
