This is one of the best dlc packages I have ever seen. Some great work by ID Software. You can tell they really put some thought into this one and put things out that they wanted to put in the base game but probably did not have time to. If you liked DOOM Eternal then you will most definitely enjoy Revelations. They bring back the movement tech that made Eternal stand out and added more on top of that. It’s fast paced and blood pumping action. Also the soundtrack by Finishing Move Inc. is top quality. You can tell they took a lot of inspiration from Mick Gordon’s work and built on that. First person shooters is my favorite game genre and this is the most fun I’ve had playing one in a while. Second to this would be The Finals but I’ll have to make a separate post about that game.

It tracks well and syncs with my health app. The discovery option is great as well.

I have a folding Dahon bike - Single speed. I also have a Trek composite 3000 - single speed. I do like to go pretty hard and I track my times with an app called Ride With GPS.
My daily commute comes out to about 9 miles a day, 4.5 miles one way. The fastest I have made it to work so far is 17 minutes. I always ride safe though , I am not trying to do anything dangerous. The biggest ride I’ve ever done out here is called the STP (Seattle to Portland). It’s 210 miles total and took me 2 days. I did the whole thing on my single speed Trek, hills and all. It was great but incredibly difficult. I do some small rides every now and then like the Portland Bridge Pedal or some events during Pedalpalooza. I also do a trail out here called the Spring water corridor trail. It’s 25 miles one way so about 50 miles total. I can finish that in roughly 3 hours with breaks.
I can’t say I watch any pro cycling events but I probably should. Those guys and gals are nuts.

The difference in Saros is the skill tree building in between rounds which does make it a bit easier. The core gameplay is just Returnal with some refinements.

You can play the whole game with one weapon type if you want, even though the drops are rng based they provide a lot of options to get what you want. The controls are highly customizable also so if you need to remap things it’s very convenient. Right now there is no M and K support and given PlayStations recent departure from PC gaming it seems unlikely in the future but fingers crossed always.

I devoted my whole weekend to diving in this game and getting as much done as I could. I went into the game blind, did not watch any videos about the game. First off, the gameplay is incredibly addicting… INCREDIBLY addicting. I think about it in my sleep. To me it feels like a mix of DOOM Eternal and returnal. They kept enough elements from returnal that it feels familiar but they have also added new things to make it feel fresh and unique. I have about 25 hours in the game and I have beat the game multiple times. I was able to get the true ending.
I personally enjoy the storytelling that HM employs but I’m not going to say they are masters of storytelling. Just like returnal, the storytelling is not linear and you are given bits and pieces as you progress through the game. It is another game that plays around with time and leaves you asking wtf is going on half the time.
I do think it is more difficult than returnal but it is easy to get a hold of. If you liked returnal then you will definitely like Saros. I’m not sure how well it did in the sales area but I do hope they add some more content to the game.
I forgot to mention just how beautiful this game is. Fantastic job by the devs, the game is a joy to look at. The world building and use of color is incredible.

Did anyone watch all seasons of this show? I fell off in season 4 I think. Last I remember they were fighting the eye patch guy. It just got boring in my opinion.
