Got it for free on a certain store platform, then i bought again on steam to get soundtrack, the workshop level and also to support the dev...i'm not good at reviewing things, but i'll say this, the gameplay is awesome, i love the freedom of movement in this game and parkour movement is smooth..the gunplay and weapon animation is simple, theres not much animation feedback (modern fps weapons jiggling and all that) or recoil feedback, nothing fancy but get the jobs done.. The soundtrack is also a bangers, some of the tracks reminds me of ghost in the shell standalone soundtrack composed by yoko kanno, them cyberpunk is strong with this one..one of my reason to get the deluxe edition on steam.. that's it..i recommend..
I have confession to make. I'm really not good at FPS. Actually, I'm pretty terrible. I can't even call myself a "casual" FPS fan because my skill level is worse than that. I can't aim. I don't even like FPS that much. I almost never play FPS on anything other than easy. And if it has first person parkour, it's near impossible for me to have fun. This is still true with Severed Steel. But I'm so thankful that the dev thought of people like me and basically added god mode as the easiest difficulty, allow me to actually play the game with infinite bullet time which made me able to actually aim and parkour.
