Critic Reviews
SEUM is Speedrunning Brilliance
It didn’t take me long to realise that I was going to love SEUM.
90%Seum: Speedrunners from Hell
SEUM delivers hours of entertainment, frustration, and the perfect bite-sized trials to hit, not just the ‘one more try’ feeling, but instead the ‘damn I was close and I won’t stop before beating this thing’. Time simply disappears into it and even though the early release version had some minor problems, I’d recommend it to anybody with a mouse and keyboard. There’s really not much else that can be said besides ‘go try it for yourself’ because I’ve never played a game quite like it. It seems like such an obvious concept but has been artfully crafted through a blend of other interesting genres to create a new experience that I can only hope to see more of in the future. So shotgun a beer, turn up the metal, zone out, and run like hell.

SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is a love letter to all things metal and game. It's fast, like a bass drum hitting 200 BPM, and it's clearly inspired by the world of gaming today. While its idea may be old, it's clearly highly inspired. While it could definitely use more polish, the experience is absolutely worth it as-is. Let your inner Iron Maiden out, and go for a run.
