If I'm being real. this is my second favourite game of the year, RE9 still holds the top spot, I really hope more people give it a try, I know they won't regret it!

@Oram77 I have owned Returnal for a long time, and only just started it. Hopefully with these two, I'm in for a great time 😊

I hope it's a title that sells really well over time, as I suspect it hasn't done massive numbers to date. Would be a real shame if not, as I know they have poured everything into the games.

@Ellie-Moo I hope you do too! I really jive with Housemarque's gameplay, in fact it becomes really addicting once you get the hang on things.

I’m going to be honest, I love Saros, but I barely remember the soundtrack or audio design.

Speaking of music awards, I'm really hoping Denshattack wins an award for it's soundtrack this year, that game's OST is phenomenal.

Good for them, I remember people talking about the score when the game launched. It's even more impressive considering the competition.

Saros is a fantastic game. It sounds like sales were a bit underwhelming which is concerning because Housemarque is an amazing studio.

The sound design is absolutely amazing in the game. You can tell it was something they focused on. Well deserved.
the OST is pretty impressive too. The first time I reached phase 3 of the first boss (the prophet? can't remember) I was entranced by the music.

p.s.
Rahul Kohli is in the new Carrie series (worth a watch)

Might be a controversial opinion but this was one of the biggest disappointments of the year for me. NOT that is was a bad game at all - it was actually a good game. It's just that Returnal was so, so great, with so much potential and I feel Saros fumbled a lot of the strengths that it's predecessor had.

Saros just had the potential to be one of the all time greats and it just didn't hit the mark for me.
