Saros

Saros is only available in a standard edition, so you can't pay an arm and a leg for a bunch of extras. However, if you preorder it, you will get a bonus freebie...

What Is Saros?

Saros is the latest game from Housemarque, and is the studio's follow-up to Returnal. According to a post on the PlayStation Blog from Gregory Louden, Creative Director at Housemarque, Saros is "the haunting story of a lost off-world colony on Carcosa under an ominous eclipse. You play as Arjun Devraj [played by Rahul Kohli], a powerful Soltari Enforcer who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for."

Louden also notes the return of "bullet ballet" style shooting, alongside "a new ability, Parry, where with perfect timing of R1 you can reflect certain projectiles back at enemies, destroying or staggering them."

Back when it was first announced, Louden detailed in another PlayStation Blog post that, "A key gameplay distinction between Saros and Returnal is permanent resources and progression making every death valuable." Because of this, you'll be able to come back stronger with each run to overcome obstacles you face.
