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.
Severed Steel is a fantastic ride while it last, there is a map editor for the brave but 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. Anyone looking for a supremely easy to get into action game that blends the bullet-time from Max Payne with a bombastic soundtrack pumping techno music and all the slides and dives from 80-90’s action movies…look absolutely no further than Severed Steel. For a first game Greylock has nailed it and I can’t wait to see this gem on consoles.

With destructible environments (you can blow holes in almost everything), frenetic action, over-the-top physics and a soundtrack that rarely takes a breather, Severed Steel is an enjoyable, cathartic experience.
Severed Steel left me conflicted. On the one hand, it’s a pity that a couple of truly brilliant ideas were implemented in a generally unpolished game. On the other hand, despite all its flaws it’s a fun, engaging shooter that kept me in front of the screen for hours. [12/2021, p.39]
What it lacks in narrative, Severed Steel makes up for it in the gameplay department. It’s fast, it’s frenetic, it’s vibrant and by golly, is it fun. There’s no greater pleasure in somersaulting over goons to air out their brain cases in glorious voxel violence. Switch off the lateral thinking and engage those cat-like reflexes.
With all its simplicity and a very short-lived campaign, Severed Steel offers a decent shooting practice for an evening or two.
Severed Steel was fun to play, but I couldn’t recommend it at its current price in its present state. Greylock Studio needs to throw some intense boss battles in there, a few tough enemies, and, in my opinion, rework the bullet time metre. I really hope the developers don’t move onto their next project straight away, and instead turn this game into a series that will make people look forward to the sequel. If you love these types of games, then there is no doubt in my mind that you will also enjoy Severed Steel.
Boring story, don't care. Bad boss, easily cheesable too, who cares.
Cool music, kickass gameplay and I'd be unbiased but when I'm feeling down I just fire up a firefight, kill a bunch of baddies and I'm back and running. Kind of my medicine.
I do agree the game might be repetitive but I don't care about that as long as the game is good. Very underrated, tbh. I'd say it's a 9.5/10 just because there's not much to it unlike ULTRAKILL or DOOM Eternal, can't quite point my finger at what should be fixed to make it less samey but I keep going back to this game every once in a while. and with more and more updates it gets better and better.
Rogue Steel is, to be honest, a really good excuse to keep slow-mo'ing and styling on some dumb AI. I just fire up 5 matches of firefight and get the energy I need by just doing some sick slow-mo tricks.

Rather fun FPS game once you get a hang of the traversal mechanics. Aiming and parkouring at the same time was rather confusing at time though, particularly in tight areas with lots of turns.

This game should have been right up my alley. But I hated it.. The combat is flimsy and has no impact. At the same time you can't even tell when you are taking damage until kill Screen. Lazy awkward game. Don't buy just cause you like Max payne or those vr games. This game aux.

Summary Severed Steel is a single-player FPS featuring a fluid stunt system, destructible voxel environments, loads of bullet time, and a unique one-armed protagonist. It's you, your trigger finger, and a steel-toed boot against a superstructure full of bad guys. Chain together wall runs, dives, flips, and slides to take every last enemy down. P...
