Just beat returnal... I don't like rogue lites typically but that was great. I will definitely get Saros, but I won't buy it until I can get it for $30 secondhand. No more money to Sony.
I beat returnal and I hated how cryptic the story was. Some of the worst stories in the history of video games. I am not buying this until it is like $20

If you have the top tier PS Plus membership this is available for a trial. It's very similar, but not identical, to Returnal with respect to gameplay. At least within the trial period I played the story appears to be a little more direct than Returnal since there other NPCs to interact with to progress the story.

So did I. The studio made such a great game with the atmosphere and gameplay, but the narrative and story is not their strong suit. I think they chopped it up as they did to hide this, or give the veneer of high art that requires interpretation. Not worth the payoff, but they sure baited it well to get people to keep playing. Coupled with the fact that the cyphers collectibles that are completely RNG and random, really ticked me off. I'd say it's worth more than $20 though, I'd pay $40 for it.
This game Saros bombed, I think it sold only 300k copies, and hence is why we have such a dramatic price drop so early. $70 price tag is ridiculous out the gate but Sony was betting on the high review scores to bait the masses into paying for it. I actually heard from user reviews of some folks that played it and felt like the game was more of a one-and-done type game, and held Returnal up to a higher pedestal than Saros. The game as it is, is just super niche -- and is just missing that crucial piece of story telling to elevate it higher to the gen masses.
But now that I think about it, now since Sony is bent on eliminating physical discs starting in 2028, I think the $20 price point is probably threshold in which I would buy a digital game. If this was digital only at $40 or even $50 like this, I wouldn't even think to take a gamble. Because at least with the disc, you can resell it back if it wasn't your taste. With digital only future, I require a higher standard before buy-in.
Great game. Solid 7.5/10 for me. Great graphics, good movement (no jank), story was relatable to my previous break up so I got the concept the devs were going for here. The voice acting and mo cap was top tier. Lastly, I enjoy the game being linear instead of a huge open world like most the slop thats out now. I dont have time to play a game that requires 50+ hours to beat and hundreds to complete. cough Zelda TOTK cough
Also want to mention its the same price on digital $50. Though i paid only $25 for this because I was sitting on a $25 Amazon courtesy credit and used it on a PSN card to get it.
I beat the game in 13 hours using the modifiers and spent time messing around. Definitely worth the $25 I spent. Wouldn't have paid $50, much less $75 for this. It really is a one and done kind of deal unless a player decides to chase the platinum. Which is rare for me depending on how tedious the trophies are and if its a Soulslike.
