THE FUSE

Saros is easier than Returnal, but not by a lot, and most certainly not at first. The spiritual successor to Housemarque’s first tough-as-nails roguelike shooter has modifiers that you will eventually unlock that let you alter aspects of the difficulty, but they can’t be used willy-nilly. You have to balance buffs and debuffs so the game deems its challenge level adequate. So what trials and protections should you use? While it will depend on your playstyle, here’s a few switches I recommend flipping if you’re having trouble fighting your way through Carcosa.
