Severed Steel is in that category of games that chases a kind of bliss. It’s the bliss that comes from an exquisite flow between moves; the bliss of tapping only a few buttons, but pulling off the most overblown, balletic manoeuvers that give the impression – to a watcher perhaps – that you’re some kind

I often grumble about remasters and ‘HD texture packs’ making classic games look worse than the original (heck, I don’t even play Quake with newfangled texture filtering). And yet, I am delighted by a new Doom mod which replaces all the sprites for enemies and items with new 3D forms. The secret is voxels, carefully
