Saros review: Housemarque's new PS5 game overcorrects for Returnal's difficulty
Saros recaptures the chaotic spectacle of Returnal, but it struggles to deliver a strong story or meaningful challenges to match it.
Saros Review - Return Stronger
Saros might be a roguelite, but its definition of a "run" is definitely broader than most. The latest game from developer Housemarque shares plenty of similarities with the studio's previous game, Returnal--both are sci-fi third-person shooters with a bullet-hell tinge--yet Saros takes some bold swings that clearly differentiate the two. By flipping Housemarque's roguelite formula on its head, Saros builds and improves upon its spiritual predecessor in spectacular fashion, seducing you every step of the way with an enthralling marriage of mechanics and story that's not to be missed. You're given very little to go on as Saros begins. On the planet of Carcosa, communication with the colony ships Echelon I, II, and III has been lost. Echelon IV and its emergency crew are sent to investigate. In addition to a pilot, crew commander, and engineer, the team also includes four armed Enforcers for reconnaissance and security purposes. Protagonist Arjun Devraj is one of these Enforcers, though that number has dwindled to two by the time you take control. With thousands of colonists missing, members of the emergency crew losing their minds, and Arjun able to come back from the dead, you're just as lost as the characters are when it comes to figuring out just what the hell is going on. What you do know is that the Echelon program was sent to Carcosa by the Soltari corporation due to the presence of Lucenite, a compound with vast energy potential. Soltari is essentially Alien's Weyland-Yutani in all but name, placing Lucenite extraction above all else in the chase for trillion-dollar profits. This creates friction between the crew and those loyal to the company, especially Arjun, who also has personal reasons for being there. He knows someone who was on board Echelon I, so there's an impassioned determination behind his words and actions, even as he struggles to piece together the mysterious circumstances he finds himself in.

Saros is pure action nirvana
The alien world of Saros feels like it has been touched by King Midas. The sky is golden after another impossibly frequent solar eclipse; rocks, specifically those of the precious resource Lucenite, radiate a shimmering amber. Even the body of our gruff hero Arjun Devraj (played by Rahul Kohli) is liable to turn deep, opulent &8230;

Lumi Master is a slightly laidback take on monster-collection, coming soon to iOS and Android
Collecting monsters usually means building the strongest team possible, min-maxing stats, and eventually realising you’ve spent far too long thinking about elemental counters. Lumi Master is clearly trying to slow that whole loop down a bit. It’s been announced for a 2026 global launch, with pre-registration now open, and it features something you live with rather than optimise. The first thing you notice is the presentation. It really delves into that storybook look, using soft colours, sketch-like outlines, and environments that feel more illustrated than rendered. Forests, deserts, and volcanic regions are all there, but filtered through something that feels gentle and not overly dramatic. ...

The Official Persona Cookbook Is 38% Off At Amazon
If you've played any Persona game from 3 onwards, you may have found yourself wishing you had a bowl of Hagakure ramen or a meaty stack from Wild-Duck Burger. After playing Persona 3 for the first time myself, I trekked all over Miami to find a proper bowl of ramen to satisfy my own cravings. But thanks to Persona: The Official Cookbook(https://www.amazon.com/Persona-Official-Cookbook-Jarrett-Melendez/dp/B0DYZZK687??tag=gamespot-promos-20), which is currently on sale for $17 (was $28) at Amazon, those dreams can become an (edible) reality. Persona: The Official Cookbook(https://www.amazon.com/Persona-Official-Cookbook-Jarrett-Melendez/dp/B0DYZZK687??tag=gamespot-promos-20) $17 (was $28)(https://www.amazon.com/Persona-Official-Cookbook-Jarrett-Melendez/dp/B0DYZZK687??tag=gamespot-promos-20) !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squaremedium/1873/18732937/4687010-square-image.jpg) Originally released in September 2025, this cookbook features recipes from Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal. That includes Shinjiro's katsudon, Hagukure Ramen's signature shoyu pork ramen, that crazy beef bowl seen in the Mega Beef Bowl Challenge at Chinese diner Aiya, and even LeBlanc's famous coffee. See at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/Persona-Official-Cookbook-Jarrett-Melendez/dp/B0DYZZK687??tag=gamespot-promos-20) The cookbook has a total of 55 recipes to try out, ranging from beginner to advanced. Each page features colorful illustration and beautiful photography, as well as quotes from the game, making the experience of using the cookbook all the more fun for longtime fans. Speaking of longtime Persona devotees, if you've been a fan of the games since the first Persona, it's worth noting that there's no squid ink sherbet or spaghetti ice cream recipes to be found here. They sound a lot less appetizing than steaming ramen and towering beef bowls, though, so if you want to create those at home, you may just have to wing it.
