If you are craving an adrenaline-pumping shooter that completely ignores the rules of gravity, Severed Steel is a title you simply cannot skip. While browsing through the massive catalog of modern PC Games, it is easy to get bogged down by slow-paced tactical shooters or heavy RPGs. However, this indie gem strips all that away to deliver pure, chaotic fun. It seamlessly combines stylish acrobatics, highly destructible voxel environments, and a super satisfying slow-motion mechanic that makes you feel like an unstoppable action movie star. It is the perfect game to boot up when you just want to run on walls and blast through hordes of bad guys over the weekend.
Storyline
The plot wastes absolutely no time with boring exposition, dropping you straight into the action as Steel, a nimble, one-armed sharpshooter. After being betrayed and left for dead by a shady, heavily armed mega-corporation known as EdenSys, you wake up in a garbage compactor and immediately set out on a brutal path of revenge. There are no heavy moral choices or complex dialogue trees to slow down your rampage. Instead, the narrative is told through brief, stylish comic-book cutscenes that give you just enough context to understand exactly why you are systematically tearing through the corporation's heavily guarded facilities.
Gaming experience
Playing this game is ridiculously satisfying, heavily relying on momentum and constant movement to keep you alive. The core combat mechanic is brilliant: as long as you are performing stunts like wall-running, diving, or sliding, enemy bullets cannot hit you. This forces you into an incredibly fluid, aggressive playstyle where you are constantly leaping through windows and dodging fire in glorious bullet time. Since you cannot reload, you must constantly steal weapons directly from the hands of your enemies. With the addition of a powerful arm cannon that lets you blow massive holes through walls and floors, every single firefight in this standout among PC Games feels dynamic, breathless, and explosively fun.
