What players say
Are you.. walking? On the ground?? Gross! Play this game!! No other game has ever given me such a movement high.
Severed Steel is such a vibe. Stellar soundtrack and perfectly tuned fast paced gameplay. Its a shame that the game is too short. Firefight and Rogue Steel are ok, but I would have preferred more of a story driven campaign.
It's a fun game with great movement and excellent gun selections. Plenty of content and different ways to play. Well worth the price of admission. 5/5
