I’ve had my eye on Saros since day 1 of it’s announcement because I thought the world and the main character looked cool and interesting! I preordered the deluxe edition and I’ve been playing for the past couple of days and man I didn’t expect to like this game as much I do now.
I’m 9 hours in and man Saros is fun af. To me the game is a fun challenge. It took me few runs to beat the first two major bosses. They were definitely challenging but once you learn their attack patterns it makes the fight much easier while also still keeping you on your feet at all times. Defeating those bastards gave me a huge sense of accomplishment lmao.
Moreover, I’ve never had a game feel fun even after dying a few times because with this game you really do come back stronger which makes you feel like you’re adapting along side Arjun as you grow stronger and learn how your enemies fight. The gameplay is so much fun I’m having a blast. It feels snappy, fluid and overall very smooth. It’s also super polished which is even better.
The graphics and sound design are amazing especially with the 3D pulse audio headset. This game has some of the best uses of the PS5 features. The adaptive triggers and haptic feedback are phenomenal. I’m even enjoying the story so far which I won’t say much about for spoiler reasons.
In conclusion, I’m really happy with what I’ve played so far. It seems like the more you play the more fun the game gets especially after you’ve unlocked certain gameplay elements. I’m actually surprised I’m not complaining about this game being challenging. I feel like it forced me to adapt and get good. I’m really happy I got this game because it’s shaping up to be something special
