One of the most underrated games of all time. SEUM delivers high-speed gameplay mixed with the precision of movement shooters to deliver a hell of a game.

The gameplay is just your character walking/running, which sounds super boring, but with the addition of various powerups, accuracy checks by shooting fireballs into gold containers, and huge levels that have big drops or epic highs, makes this game a true joy to play.

I also love as a completionist the various secrets hidden in this game. Going for 666% is super fun, and challenging in just the right ways. It combines an ARG with a completion perspective, and I almost wish I never looked up a guide to get it and tried it on my own to figure out how to unlock secret levels.

The only place this game really just is "okay" is for extra modes and the story. I'm not saying I needed something super complex, but the story is told in JPEG comic book images with beer chug sounds played over it, along with sub-par VA. The bonus modes as well are really terrible for something that should have infinite replayability, sure, you can try out improving your time on the maps, but good luck with the infinite runner mode that's boring as all hell.

Overall, a great game that one day should really see a sequel and the appreciation it deserves. It's really a gem, if you ask me.
