    If you are looking for pure entertainment when playing a video game, then Severed Steel does a very good job at giving you that. But if you are looking for something more than just entertainment, you may not be fully satisfied.

    An entertaining and lightning fast (but really short) experience that mixes FPS and Mirror's Edgesque parkour in a simil-VR voxel context. Too bad for the lack of level editor on console and sub-par bullet-time mechanics.

    In short, I had a blast with this game and I kind of felt sad when it was over. That being said, there were also moments of genuine frustration, but ultimately Severed Steel is one of the most frenetic, balls-to-the-wall rapid fire shooters that I've ever played. There were moments where I was literally jumping and lunging all over the place as I engaged slow motion bullet time to dodge bullets and projectiles whilst simultaneously dispatching bad guys in all manner of inventive ways.

    The destructibility mechanics of Severed Steel's levels are also impressive, allowing you to literally blast your way through walls and most obstacles. I must add that Steel's character design and inclusion of an arm cannon feels like an homage to Nintendo's Samus Aran of the Metroid series, though Severed Steels gameplay sets it decidedly apart.

    As a final note, I recommend playing this game on the lower difficulty range to get the most enjoyment out of it. And lastly, spoiler alert: There will be a sequel.    … Full Review »
