    The game in the footage is Echo Point Nova. I haven't had the chance to play it myself yet, but it seems cool and is from the developer(s?) of Severed Steel.

    If you like the 'no reloading, always switching gun' dynamic here, too, check out Severed Steel. It's very good and in a discount bundle with Sprawl Zero. Game recognize game.

    Severed Steel is one of the best bullet time shooters around, with fully destructible environments, tons of playmodes, unlockables, a level editor, worshop sharing. Just a ton of fun. The same (solo!) dev just released a huge update for his other game, Echo Point Nova, its open-world successor.

    Severed Steel is an absolute blast to play. The movement is fluid and fast, gunplay feels awesome, and the world encourages you to keep pushing forward. Sliding, flipping, and chaining kills together never gets old — it just feels so satisfying. The level design is smart and keeps things exciting throughout. Some challenges can be tough, but that’s part of the fun. There aren’t many bugs, and overall it runs really well. If you love stylish shooters where momentum and creativity matter, this…

    Seeing as I'm enjoying Severed Steel, I decided (after someone mentioned it to me) to take the plunge on the developers' other game, Echo Point Nova. It's like Halo Infinite was stuck in a blender with the aesthetics of Breath of the Wild. Also, you have a hoverboard.

    It's the lobby shootout from the original Matrix, but an entire game of it. Activate your god-like slow-mo superpowers at the push of a button and coast like a serene lotus of death through a hail of frantic and furious firepower, delivered at dizzying speed. An immediate and dazzling adrenaline rush, easy to play in short bursts and a great way to blow off that Monday night post-work steam.

    It's not about what difficulty level you complete the campaign on, it's about having fun. Shoddy Gen-X gamer here... Did I have fun? I did, I did have fun. I shot alotta bad guys, I jumped through alotta glass windows, I ran on a bunch of walls and jumped to new heights, and I completed my mission, for the betterment of society, I think ???

    Recommendation: 90% This game is basically a showcase for RTX ray tracing. And it's damn beautiful. Carries hard by its neon cyberpunk atmosphere and insanely fast-paced gameplay with bullet time like in Max Payne. Has some minor issues, like the story in the campaign being told through rare images without text, which makes it hard to follow, but overall a great experience. Easy to recommend

    The skill FLOOR on this game is very low, you have a generous amount of slo-mo and while doing tricks enemies can't hit you. I thought I would point that out because the game looks inaccessible because of how fast it looks, just playing the game is easy, you can absolutely muddle your way through without quite knowing what you're doing. Jump around, use slo-mo, and you can win. HOWEVER, the skill ceiling? That's waaaaaay up there, being able to navigate with the movement system and stuff…

The gameplay feels similar to SuperHot, but adds many more mechanics and features that make combat feel more dynamic and exciting.

    It looked pretty fun at first, but the execution is absolute ♥♥♥♥; in many places, it’s just a game for tryhards—you’re already biting the dust after just 3 or 4 bullets. It’s definitely not something for relaxing. The music is actually the best part of the game, but unfortunately, it’s not enough to save it.

    Top 10 gaming experiences right here. Like a mix of Mirror's Edge, Superhot and Bulletstorm. Just pure fun and surprisingly forgiving. The slo-mo mechanic is really generous, you can't be killed while wall-running, diving or sliding, and Steel will automatically pick up any gun she runs across if not carrying anything. Kicking an enemy, stealing their gun and then throwing it back at them never gets old. I was smiling the entire time, what a blast!

    Super stylish movement shooter with bullet time, destructible environments and really fun level design that compliments all the other features. It's ideal for quick gaming sessions, as missions are short but satisfying. If you blast through the campaign, you'll finish it in about 2-3 hours, but the replay value is very high and there's a bunch of extra content too. There's also a good range of difficulty settings that should satisfy anyone. What I love most about this game is how it…

    I’ve never wanted to land headshots this much in a game. With outstanding mobility, slow motion, and a wide range of weapons to take down enemies, the experience feels intense and satisfying. The story is short and simple, with a few cinematics, and the action kicks in from the very first shot. The music is right on the sweet spot. It’s a nice experience, especially if you enjoy shooting enemies. However, if you’re particularly sensitive to motion sickness, you may want to keep your play…

    I'm giving this game a positive review because I know it has its niche. However, for me, personally, it wasn't a fit. I love parkour type games, and I love FPS games, but the two of them combined turned out to be just too... Chaotic, I suppose, for me to get used to. If you're on the fence, though, don't hesitate to give it a try; you won't need a full two hours to know if it's for you. Heck, you might not even need two minutes. XD

    A mix between Superhot and Titanfall. Movement is crisp and enjoyable while still being very forgiving; it's almost impossible to mess up but feels good to chain and master. Shooting is okay, and there's some variety of weapons; slow motion while doing stunts also helps a lot. The soundtrack and visuals are amazing and fit the game's design perfectly. The campaign could be longer along with better level design, but it's not the worst. Could introduce more enemy variety, explore more of the…

    As someone who adores movement games, this game is a huge disappointment on that front. Definitely play the demo before buying, because it isn't a bad game per se, but it might be something else than you expect. Looking at the trailer and description I was expecting something akin to Titanfall 2, instead Severed Steel is Superhot, but without the time stopping mechanic. The movement allows you to perform "stunts" during which you are completely invulnerable. The issue is that not all of the…

    This is worth it when it goes on sale for a steep discount (I picked it up for about a dollar) but the game just is not worth 25 dollars at all. This game suffers from an insane amount of mechanic creep and that makes it just not very interesting if you've played any other movement shooter. The player character is way too powerful and as a result the enemies are balanced to a degree that just isn't fun.

It markets itself as a fast paced shooter where you have to slide and dive around to avoid fire while destroying enemies.
