“The lack of quicksaves is fine, but the absence of any checkpoints in these medium-to-long-sized levels was such a poor decision. I get that the game wants to be a hardcore shooter, but for me this doesn't add…”
“Such a great game, one of the best modern boomer shooters, i really want to keep playing... But no quicksaves? no checkpoints? Why? Just feels awkward and not user friendly or respecting of player time. It could be…”
“This game just ain't it. Its not terrible its just below average. The game is of decent length and theres a few decent/cool weapons, although most are pretty standard. Every gun has alt fire which is appreciated. Thats…”

“As cool as the aesthetic is, I can't be bothered because of the life system. I got stuck in the terrain and it slowly slid me into the abyss until I died. When I respawned I tried to do what also seemed to be a secret…”
“Yeeaaaah, so I've played this game now for 12 minutes, and without a doubt, this is the sickest, most opressive, and what I'm sure will be the most challenging brutal FPS I've ever played. In time I will write a more…”

“Simply the hardest boomer shooter out there. Quicksavers need not apply.”
“Tough, fast, and a lot of air strafing. I played on the lowest difficulty, since dying (after running out of lives) means resetting the entire level. Levels are pretty long, so I'd rather just enjoy the scenic ride…”

“Genuinely a fun game. The art style and gore are perfect for the Flesh-Metal dystopian city that they have you battling through. Not a super long game, but it is well crafted so that every level is fun and does not drag…”

“Very well put together boomshoot. Really cool world and lore, super tight controls and arsenal. Wears it's influences proudly on it's sleeve (when it's not directly referencing them.) No checkpoints can be heartbreaking…”
“Pretty cool, but it really sucks having to restart the levels completely when you die. Game is brutal in difficulty. Enemies are FAST and accurate, but everything can be dodged. Make sure you turn on reverse sprint bind…”
“🎮 [u]Gameplay[/u] 🔲 Excellent ✅ Good 🔲 Average 🔲 Poor 🔲 Staring at Walls is better INCISION delivers brutal, fast-paced FPS action with a strong emphasis on movement and raw firepower. Gunplay is punchy and satisfying,…”

“I will give my review as a thumbs down. For now. And I will give it the thumbs down only for the reason that the developer decided that making a shoter in 2025, that should capture the feel of 90s shooters ment that…”
“I understand there's probably a get good mentality with this game as even on the easist difficulty it's still not easy. It's a bretty bleak and brutal game. But it just looses all that fun when you die and get…”

“Playing this, you can't help but notice a real point of difference between people who like the aesthetic of old school shooters, and people who actually like to play those games. You could repeat this for Blood also,…”

“I'm old. And I suck at FPS's. But I still love FPS's. When I first played this the other day, I started on normal mode and got my ass completely slaughtered. So I went to uninstall it, but right before I did, I thought, "Give it one more shot on the easiest difficulty with the…”
— a player, Steam review · 33 hrs played“Fabulous old school FPS. Kill monsters, pull switches on the wall and chop hearts, open doors and kill more. The game is challenging but very well made, if you enjoy Cultic, Rust, HROT, Blood on higher difficulties, don’t miss INCISION. Right now it has 86% positive reviews out…”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“A bloody, cosmic horror nightmare in the best way possible. Loved the 1up system, it's vastly superior to the standard save / quicksave systems in most other boom shoots.”
