Saros needs to stop pretending it’s a roguelike

Saros isn’t a direct sequel to Returnal. Lore-wise, they don’t share a universe, and although there are similarities in the premise, it’s a spiritual sequel at best. In terms of the gameplay, however, it’s a clear evolution of the premise: more weapons, biomes, and bosses, alongside more ways of playing thanks to the world modifiers. The action is almost identical, giving players another third-person bullet-hell shooter on an alien planet with many of the same abilities.
