If you’ve been on the fence about Housemarque’s latest PS5 game, Saros<\/a>, now’s your opportunity to give it a shot.<\/p>\n

Those with an active PS Plus Premium<\/a> membership can sample the game at no extra cost as part of their subscription with a newly-introduced game trial.<\/p>\n

You’ll get to play the full game for a total of two and a half hours, which is certainly enough to get a feel for the hectic shooter and its compelling gameplay systems.<\/p>\n

As with all PS Plus Premium game trials, your progress and Trophies carry over if you choose to buy the game afterwards.<\/p>\n

Saros is a roguelite third-person shooter, with fast-paced action, permanent upgrades, and an intriguing sci-fi story.<\/p>\n

I view it as a sort of companion piece to Returnal, which shares a good lot of DNA with Saros, but the latter game is much more flexible in terms of difficulty.<\/p>\n

I really love it, awarding it a 9\/10 in Push Square’s review<\/a>. It feels wonderful to play, and the gradual permanent progression you make is very satisfying. It’s absolutely worth a go if you’re a Premium member.<\/p>\n

Since its launch earlier this year, the game has been updated with Photo mode and additional Trophies<\/a>. It seems likely it’ll get some form of DLC down the line, though nothing is confirmed yet.<\/p>\n

Will you be checking out Saros via the PS Plus game trial? Tell us in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
