On the eve of
#SAROS launch this is a message I hope gets out.
@Housemarque made this game with care and consideration for many types of players while preserving challenge. There is more in your hands for how to play... but if this videogame looks cool to you then IT IS FOR YOU.
If Returnal was too hard and you’re unsure whether you can finish Saros, here’s the clear answer.
Yes, you will probably finish Saros.
After the second boss, you unlock modifiers that let you adjust the difficulty. You can pick things like dealing more damage or taking less damage, as long as you stay above the minimum limit the game allows.
The first two bosses aren’t on Returnal’s level, and with a bit of practice most players get through them. Once modifiers unlock, you can tune the game to your comfort level and actually finish it.
I’ve platinumed Returnal myself, and honestly I think Saros handled this perfectly. It keeps both sides happy: the players who want a real challenge and the ones who just want to reach the end :P
