Metal: Hellsinger is one of those rare games that takes a wild concept—combining rhythm gameplay with fast-paced FPS combat—and executes it flawlessly.

To give credit where it’s due, the game has a very nice art style, and the writing (which is mostly narration) is pretty good.

I think that the game handles its rhythm shooting really well and am happy to see there being some accessibility options to help with those who find it hard to follow the beat.
