Its hard for me to write about how much I absolutely love Raw Metal (not that you can tell from how long this review is). Everyone who plays games a lot will occasionally reach the point where it feels like its impossible for a new game to really grab you and you are just going through the motions trying to reignite that spark, and this absolutely did reignite it for me. While I will not claim it necessarily the best thing I have ever played, there was undeniable heart put into the game from the voice actors putting in fantastic performances to easter eggs like the Power Rangers rip off playing on one of the TVs. I truly believe that alone makes it worth your time to at least try the demo (and we should always applaud developers for giving us demos to try before we buy). The developers have also spent a year regularly tweaking and balancing the game based on issues that the community has raised, and while I didn't play at release, it looks like it has been massively improved.

About This Game
Raw Metal is a sci-fi stealth-action dungeon crawler with a focus on smooth, stylish gameplay.
You are a lone scavenger on the distant, barren exoplanet Charybdis. In search of gear and supplies, you infiltrate the depths of Katabase 6, a massive mining facility run by a corrupt megacorporation known as Orpheus Tech. Sneak through the mines undetected, cleverly utilizing various gadgets and equipment to your advantage, but beware; if you're caught, you'll need to rely on your combat skills for a fighting chance to escape.
High-Stakes Stealth
Use taser darts, noisemakers, improvised concussion grenades, and anything else you can find to slip past and isolate guards. The shadows are your domain; manipulate your environment and your enemies well enough and they'll never see you coming.
Breakneck Combat
Whether it is initiated through a clever ambush or a stealth slip-up, a fight can range from a calculated risk to a desperate struggle for survival. Combat in Raw Metal is fast and punishing; the guards stationed at Katabase 6 are stronger and more heavily armored than you, so you'll need to fight dirty to come out on top. Be aggressive, relentless, and resourceful. Take every advantage you can get your hands on. Honor is for the weak.
Extensive Equipment
Customize your look and playstyle with a variety of upgradeable gear pieces that shake up the gameplay and give you an edge in sketchy situations. Create the ultimate stealth build, armor up and tear through your enemies, or modify the behavior of gadgets and attacks to lean into a specific strategy. Be careful, losing a fight gets your gear confiscated and sent to a secure location; you'll need to weigh the certainty of extracting with the gear you have against the reward of pushing deeper for better loot.
Brutal Boss Fights
Three unique bosses stand in your way, and will put you in your place if you're ill-prepared to face them. Master combos, avoid deadly attack chains, and watch your opponent closely for openings and weaknesses to get the upper hand. Investing in a solid kit of gear and gadgets will come in clutch against these formidable adversaries, but be sure to practice in the Boss Training mode before challenging them for real and risking it all.
