Early Steam Reviews
As of press time, "Haste" has more than 2,000 user reviews on Steam, which has classified them as "Very Positive."
"Hands down my number 1 pick for best game 2025 so far," user Bootrs said in a Steam review. "Fast, fun and really satisfying with amazing beats and aesthetics to boot."
"'Haste' is an amazing game that really makes you 'feel' like you're going fast," said February Meme in a separate review. "The characters are fun, the movement is fluid, the loop is addicting."
"The only two things that this game feels like it's missing is alternative characters to play as and an endless roguelike mode," February Meme added. "There is an endless mode, but it's just levels back to back. I'd like to see an endless mode where you select your path, similar to the campaign shards."
