- Severed Steel is a rapid-pace first-person shooter that demands quick reflexes and creative thinking to blast your way through the minions of a nefarious mega-corporation wreaking havoc in a dark future.
Kirstie Summers · Sep 28, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Severed Steel‘s campaign may be short, but it’s very sweet. And the high-octane nature of its action is intoxicating, meaning you’re likely to engage with firefight mode and perhaps even play through the campaign again with Mutators active. A single-player only experience, those who like waging war while feeling like a badass will be in their element here. It’s an absolute blast from beginning to end.
Richard Seagrave · Aug 01, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Severed Steel’s load times aren't obnoxiously long by any means, but just long enough to add to the frustration of losses. The other (and biggest) issue is the complete lack of gyro-aiming, which — especially for a game this fast-paced — feels like a large oversight. But still, we’re talking about a game where you can throw your gun at someone, slo-mo, dive over their head, steal another from their back pocket, then blast them with it. Which is pretty rad.
Scott McCrae · Jul 25, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Despite a disappointingly short length and lack of story, Severed Steel excels in how it actually feels to play. When it clicks, it becomes a zen-like dance, a series of playgrounds full of deeply rewarding kills and Matrix-inspired acrobatics. The levels themselves are varied enough to keep things interesting, and the game moves at an impressively fast pace. The lack of bosses could be seen as a missed opportunity, but the game still has much to offer. Severed Steel is a cathartic experience that thoroughly delivers in what it sets out to accomplish – making you feel badass.
Matt Shore · Jul 25, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Severed Steel is here for a good time, not a long time, but I do know that every moment I wasn’t playing it in the build up to this review, I was thinking about playing it. That’s all I really want from any game.
AJ Small · Jul 24, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Running on a wall, diving through a window, all the time dodging enemy attacks, only to then slide and kill two enemies before finding a safe space is a fun time.
Cosmin Vasile · Oct 05, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Severed Steel is a fantastic ride while it last, there is a map editor for the brave but the replay value is only going to be found for those that have the need to top a leaderboard or want to record some dope slo-mo montages.
Terrence Johnson · Oct 01, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It's not often you find a game that excels in everything it sets out to do, but Severed Steel exists. It's an incredibly smooth shooter despite the many different ways you can move. The absolutely superb soundtrack is the perfect way to complement the action. Although it's a very brief experience, every single level sent adrenaline into my veins. If you can find a game that makes me feel as jazzed as Severed Steel, savor every moment. Who knows? Maybe Severed Steel will be that game for you, too.
asuther · Sep 27, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It might be a bit too short, and its UI could have been reworked, but I didn’t mind. I had a blast with Severed Steel‘s ultra fast-paced movement-based shooting, complete chaotic vibe and endlessly replayable arcade mode. If you are looking for a game that just drops into a map and tells you to have fun with it and its mechanics, then Severed Steel is an easy recommendation.
Kyle Nicol · Sep 16, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Severed Steel feels like playing the Deathloop trailer. Not the actual game, specifically the trailer. Specifically the run shoot kick montage that comes in right at the end. Slick, stylised, and never slowing down for a second, Severed Steel looks set to launch without much fanfare, but if you want a game that gives you a great time and then leaves you alone, give it a try. KILL. THEM. ALL.
