The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

Yeah, because there are some interesting tweaks.

The Ringer-Verse

I mean, you still have the kind of, you know, blue beams, red beams, yellow beams.

The Ringer-Verse

The difference this time is that Arjun has a shield.

‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

So you don't have to just dodge everything.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

Blue can be absorbed to power the shield, and then red stuff can be parried.

And yellow eventually can also be absorbed, but there's a trade-off where you get corrupted.

The Ringer-Verse

It lowers your health temporarily, but it also...

empowers your weapons.

The Ringer-Verse

And it does become, as I said, sort of a rhythm game where it's very quick twitch.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

You just have to recognize, okay, what's coming, pattern match, what's my response to that, split second.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

And when that's working well, it's just great.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

And I also love, you know, the...

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

much like in Returnal, the usage of the dual sense and the haptic feedback and the adaptive triggers, which give you different ways to fire your weapons, depending on how much you depress the triggers.

The Ringer-Verse

And, you know, there's generous auto aim.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

So you're really just supposed to fire in the general direction of something as you're leaping around and staying constantly in motion.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

I love active reload.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

You know, I love any active reload in a game.

The Ringer-Verse

I like that melee is really effective in this game.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

Sometimes you have to use melee because an enemy has a shield, a red shield.

But also, you can sometimes just one-hit kill people with your melee.
