Sony’s PlayStation debuted “Saros,” its latest splashy AAA title for the PS5, this week to overwhelmingly positive reviews. But while critics have had advance time with single-player action game, players just diving in this weekend after the title’s Thursday release have an uphill battle ahead of them as they take on the bullet-hell environment that developer Housemarque counts as its speciality.

Described as a spiritual successor to the PlayStation-owned Housemarque’s 2021 third-person shooter “Returnal,” “Saros” follows Arjun Devraj (played by “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “Midnight Mass” star Rahul Kohli) as a Soltari enforcer who will stop at nothing to pursue answers on the shape-shifting world of Carcosa, a planet filled with dark secrets and hostile inhabitants.
