Saros Reviews Position Housemarque’s PS5 Exclusive as a 2026 Standout

Digital Foundry reports strong PS5 Pro performance with sharp 4K output at 60 fps using Sony’s PSSR upscaler.

Overview

  • Major outlets rate Saros among the year’s best, with scores like VGC’s 5/5, Game Informer’s 9.25/10, and GameSpot’s 9/10 in a broad review roundup.
  • Sony’s PSSR upscaler on PS5 Pro targets a 4K presentation at 60 fps, and Digital Foundry says it keeps particle-heavy scenes crisp and stable.
  • Saros is a PS5‑only third‑person roguelite from Housemarque that builds on Returnal with permanent upgrades and optional run modifiers for more approachability.
  • Some reviewers praise the craft but say the fast, twitch‑based roguelike structure can still alienate players who do not enjoy repeat‑run progression.
  • Reviewers highlight striking visuals and satisfying DualSense haptics, noting dense bullet‑hell effects and responsive shooting feel.
