STEELRISING Review - The Biggest Surprise of 2022

Another asian game? 6 out of ten haha

there is no NG+ and after finishing it on 100% in 16 hours i can't really say it's worth 50€.... at least i bought it on greenmangaming for 36€. and if it was on steam/consoles for 35-40€ i think that would be good, but 50€ for A - AA game is too much.

Now I know why I had so much trouble in the beginning. I went to another area first and fought the 2nd boss before the 1st. And in that area all of the enemies where a lot stronger. I finally started on the area with the first boss you mentioned and I’m breezing throigh

I don’t want to be a robotic killer maid. Add character creation and I’ll play. I want to be a giant troll of a man with a beard like a Viking raider.

this is such a cool game i was so sad it needs an RTX

If only this game had the combat system of like the surge (1or2), it would be perfect.
Everything else is good but the Combat and hit detection really sets it back.

Best to wait for it to drop to 20$ or less. And that relates to all spiders games. Even greedfall wasn't worth anything above 20$.

A shame coz these games have potential but I guess being a small studio you can't clean up your combat system.

I absolutely love this game! Got it for pc & just got it for ps5 aswel!

I do hope they will make sequels in different time lines and conflicts,i love it.
And btw,a great review from you.

Why too easy

i should have skipped this it's boring af

I'm glad indie devs like spiders are still going strong because they might make a lot of janky games but you can't deny they have a lot of passion to make something different


I finished Steelrsing 2 days after its release (including all side quests) and although I enjoyed the gameplay and its story the difficulty scaling was beyond bad. I had bosses that I could kill in under 10 seconds and only died to 2 overall because I got too greedy


By the end I hadn't put a single point into HP and had over 100 health pots and all of the collected consumables left. If the games difficulty and scaling of power was handled better I could recommend it but as it stands now its just too easy... No boss should take under 10 seconds and this even includes the final boss that took me around 40

Just watched your soulstice review as I've picked it up and this review just now, you're great man! Subbed 🤙

Went into this thinking it was going to be meh, to just Ok. Now that I'm in the final chapter and haven't been able to put it down since starting and this has become one of my favorite games this year.

I had 2 crashes on ps5 but neither were progress losing, the ppl look weird af as well. Overall I must say I really enjoy it so far. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys "souls-likes".

I read that when NG+ is released they will add new weapons as well as main story fixes and special moves. Can’t wait, also your review was excellent. Keep up with the good work.

You have a ps5

I think its a really funny coincidence that this, Thymesia and Lies of P are all coming out months apart. I managed to play through Thymesia but it def didn't click with me the way I hoped it would, so Steelrising was a pleasant surprise! I'm hoping they patch in a way to respec at some point though, my first run is power based and I've been going through with that one fan glaive weapon, but I've been having a blast!

I wish the performance was 1440 and 60fps on os5, but other than that, I have nothing to complain about. people say it's too slow, but there are allot of weapons that change that really fast. add in the parry and it's a damn solid game

8.5/10 is very generous for this game, I think IGN giving it a 6/10 is right on the money for the problems the game suffers.

Don’t get me wrong, gameplay is solid and fluid, but far too easy to break the game with a dancer/immobilise build and defeat every boss in under a minute.

And the game is extremely buggy, textures constantly wouldn’t load in at all, or would take a full minute to load into the game world. Got stuck multiple times on objects, clipped through the map, etc.

This game runs like garbage, looks similar to Greedfall in terms of graphics but has the FPS of a powerpoint presentation.

While I love Spiders and am looking forward to grabbing this game there's just something about this video that reminds me of a 'Raid: Shadow Legends' sponsor promo.

Just be warned it's French as hell. You'd think people would get this but apparently not. From the one playthrough I've played it doesn't explore the robots, how they work, how they came about, or much involving them.

I think there's one quest line that kinda talks about them? But that's it. So if you're not interested in the French revolution but robots you're going to have a hard time with the story.

Not a game for a casual or beginner player.

Got it on sale rn for $30 and having fun with the game. Just give yourself time to get past the slow beginning and it opens up. T

Looks very cool ,
nice it's not another medieval fantasy setting.
Omelette au Fromage Esti !

Thank you for this review. I was on the fence, but I bought it after watching your video. ;)

Thanks a lot for this review.
I've been on the fence with SteelRising for a while, but based on some things you said and the fact that respec will be added, I've decided to buy it.
I really liked the UI during your gameplay, reminds me of Elden Ring with a minimalist approach instead of Ubisoft-like tittles with a gazillion icons on screen.

How much did the developers pay you to stroke their genitalia in this review?

Best game I played this year. Loved everything about it, finished it twice. In game plus you'll get cool new enemies and weapons.

Love me some creative robot designs, I’ll need to play this while I wait for Lies of P

i see in every video about a game review now someone commenting on IGN😂
Honestly it seems they like something if theyre paid to They gave the far cry 6 dlcs 5s and 6s. But i actually thought they were better than that. I like the Vaas one. His saying is doing the same thing again is the definition of insanity, and at the ending you choose to leave the loop or stay to do the same thing. I just thought this was clever. Cool gameplay too
Ign clearly just rush a game to push a review before they actually get to enjoy it

I’m not a souls and souls-like fan, but this game looked interesting to me so at some point I will try it out.

I played the Trial..
I was pretty disappointed with the experience.

This game felt janky AF.. I feel like this game was rushed out and needed another few months of development.

I don't know if much changed since the games release..
I was far more pleased with the surprise of Remnant From the Ashes.

--
I may give this game another look.. but there's a multitude of titles like out now, and a bunch more on the way.
I'll be more annoyed by these companies half-azzing a Souls-like title just to have their IP released around interests in Souls-like games.

Absolutely loved this game. Also, what a way to make experience enjoyable for everyone. Auto assist mode is genius!

it never stopped crashing it's broken I traded it but i really liked it shame

In short, this is the most competent "souls like" since I played Nioh and Code Vein. While not perfect, it's supremely satisfying and even impressive in some ways

This game is truly a hidden gem. Fantastic visuals, excellent sound work, and an amazing musical score. It is a shame it didn't sell better, but I hope more people give it a chance.

Steelrising is a good introduction for Nioh imo the cooling system is a good way to get the ropes on ki restoration in nioh.

Great game, loved it, one of the best games I've played in years. My biggest gripe is the fact that there is no French dub. I am a French speaker, so it would have made perfect sense to play the game in French considering the setting.

Thanks for the review, just picked this up today. I only just realised this is made by the same studio that made Greedfall, one of my favorite RPGS of that year ( had one of the best companion systems ever ). It's really cool to see a game studio make such great progression throughout their games.

Is it historically accurate?

As a someone who loved GreedFall and is so hyped about the prequel for it, I really wanted to give Steelrising a shot.
But at the same time, as a someone who has NEVER played Souls-like games or Elden ring, it was a tremendous pain at the beginning. The amount of times I gave up, but also I wanted to play it cause I like Spider games. So few days ago I said to myself: “I’ll figure this game out no matter what!”
I put on an assist mode (cause i dont wanna tort*re myself on my 1st playthrough 😂) and started playing, trying to approach it from different ways of combat. And I have finally started making progress. ✌🏼
I dont love it as much as I do GreedFall, but overall iťs a really good game. 🤍 sure, it’s Spider games so iťs sometimes clunky and corny, but they always make their games with so much love and enthusiasm and it shows

Steelrising came and went without me hearing much about it and well I will give the developers massive props for the steampunk aesthetic.

I know it's 1 year later, but we just got this game in PS+, and it's pretty awesome. At start it feels a little clunky, the movement of robots is not like humans, but when you adjust and get weapon you like it gets really good.

This is not a good game

Steelrising 2 speculation going around.

Still needs a patch or two , I’ve had so many crashes during my playthrough

I definitely think this review hypes up the game more then it is after playing it on ps plus. I know people clowned ign for saying 6 but that seems fair

I was lucky, 2 days ago found it at $1.89.
I'm loving it
