Which PS5 Exclusive is Garnering Such Praise?
Saros, the latest title from Housemarque, the studio behind Returnal, is scheduled to launch on April 30, 2026. Early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. The game currently holds an 89 rating on OpenCritic, with 95% of critics recommending it.
Eurogamer’s Rick Lane commended the game’s mechanics but noted, “The story sometimes seems at odds with what it aims to be, but there’s no denying this is another top-tier action game from Housemarque.” GameSpot’s Richard Wakeling also gave high praise, stating, “Saros is an outstanding game that rewires Housemarque’s roguelite formula and surpasses its spiritual predecessor in every way.”
CGMagazine’s Zubi Khan highlighted that the game “takes the core formula to new heights, introducing a diverse cast of characters that deepen the story as players explore the mysterious alien world of Carcosa.” ComingSoon’s Tyler Treese echoed this sentiment, saying, “Housemarque has once again delivered some of the best gameplay on PS5—a shooter that feels fantastic to play as you find upgrades and build your arsenal to face tough bosses.”
