Steel Seed Review. Beautiful Science Fiction Inspired by the “old school”

The Stealth system is good, at least there is nothing to scold it. But this mechanic in steel seed also gives no reasons for pleasure. She is just successful, but she can’t show off something that didn’t have before.

The fighting is perhaps the most “hanging” part. Although the developers tried to diversify the fights with mobs from different skills, including the accompanying drone, it was just boring to fight. Fortunately this does not have to be done that often. The game is flexible and makes it possible to choose how to go through a certain segment.

So in general Steel Seed leaves a good impression, but she has nothing to surprise. It is not bad in itself. Storm in a tea cup has just taken a strong action in non-standard decorations, but it thought that history clearly claims to be a little more. Who does not seem to be justified.

Steel seeds of those who have already hurt: Zoe is trying to find a father. We recommend that you remember how many games have started in the last 20 years: Mama, Dad, Daughter, Son, Matchmaker or another family member or distant family member. Clish, which is repeated endlessly for one simple reason – because it works.

Zoe is looking for her father because she has nothing left: the girl woke up in the body of the Cyborg, a confused memory in the world where the cars rule. In the neighborhood – Only the aforementioned Drone Kobi, the sweet being, must be noticed.

It is pleasant to look at their adventures, but not to say what is interesting. Despite the potentially interesting conflict – how to maintain humanity when you have lost almost the entire human seed – steel seeds do not make interesting discoveries. The player is left behind with a feeling of disbelief, with the impression that the authors can continue, dig deeper. But unfortunately.

But Kobi is beautiful and very sweet. If in the first instance it only seems like a tool for performing certain tasks and solving puzzles, then over time it becomes an indispensable partner and emotional support for Zoe and, to hide, for the player. For him a separate praise for developers.

Visually the game comes up in scale and details. As we have noticed above, the love and professionalism with which the world is made is immediately striking. But this also has the back. The characters, mainly Zoe, easily fade against the background of the beautiful background. He seems to be more lively than the most important heroine.

And all because of rather uncomfortable animations: at least with regard to facial expressions. Moreover, Stemactteren, which does not shine with skills, does not add Zoe Vloceliness. Sometimes the robotcompanion responds to what often happens more interesting than the main character.

The game behaves in an arc: technically speaking, steel seed is perfectly optimized. Storm in a tea cup, the release almost had to transfer from the beginning of April to the end. As an excuse they led that they needed time to polish their brainchild. It seems to have worked.

The most understandable that we can say about the soundtrack is that it is not annoying. Speaking, this is also the most spacious description of the game as a whole.

Steel seed is a high -quality game. Not innovative, even vice versa – fairly conservative, both in history and in gameplay. Much in her evokes the feeling of “somewhere I have already seen”, but it is quite pleasant. Just like Deja Vu, immersed in a warm memory.

Some mechanics and even the release itself give the “old school”: for once a small studio released a full game, and not another early access (there is also a game on consoles). But on the top ten and even to the title of the game you want to remember, steel seed still doesn’t pull. It annoys nothing, but does not fall in love with itself. In general, beautiful science fiction, no longer.
