Severed Steel Review - A Furiously Fun High Octane Shooter That Shouldn't Be Missed
Quite simply Severed Steel is one of the most downright entertaining shooters to come out this year. Sure it doesn't boast the most comprehensive offering from a content perspective and genre fiends looking for a token narrative to go with their serving of face-gunning may well be disappointed, but Severed Steel bends and in some cases breaks the traditionally rigid rules of the FPS genre to often giddy effect. The end result is the sort of gloriously freewheeling, acrobatic first-person shooting extravaganza which aims to demonstrate that innovation in the genre doesn't have to just begin and end at the the gun clasped tightly in your hands.

The main problems I have with this game is variety though. Why are the enemies pretty much all the same with a few tiny differences, why do all the levels look the same, why are the “harder” or “tankier” enemies just as easy to kill as the regular enemies, and why is there 1 boss fight and it kind of sucks? While these things don’t really influence the gameplay itself (because the game was too short for variety to matter) they’re still some very odd decisions that made the game less interesting to play.

Severed Steel assaults many of your senses and rewards your bullet dodging, slow motion ballet dancing with satisfying kills while caressing your eyes and ears with the striking visuals and soundtrack it presents to you.
