Steelrising

crab game

TL;DR (Contain mild Spoiler) I really wanted to love Steelrising. The setting is one of the freshest I've seen in a soulslike. An alternate-history French Revolution with automatons is a fantastic concept, and the world itself is beautiful. The voice acting is decent, and the story is interesting enough to keep me playing until the end. Unfortunately, almost everything that makes a great soulslike feels underdeveloped. The combat lacks impact and responsiveness. Instead of rewarding precise inputs, I often found myself mashing the attack button just to continue my combos. By the end of the game, combat felt more like a hack-and-slash than a soulslike. Most enemies were predictable, dodging was extremely forgiving, and even the final boss could be defeated by repeatedly attacking and using Endurance Vials. Performance was also disappointing. Even after lowering nearly every graphics setting, the game still struggled to deliver smooth performance on my PC. For a game with visuals like this, the optimization simply isn't good enough. My biggest disappointment, however, is the equipment system. Weapons can be upgraded, but armor cannot. Every outfit quickly becomes meaningless because there is no real progression beyond small stat differences. I kept hoping the game would reward collecting full armor sets with unique set bonuses, but that system simply doesn't exist. Instead, every outfit ends up being little more than a cosmetic choice with minor stat tweaks. This problem becomes even more noticeable in The Cagliostro's Secrets DLC. The DLC adds new outfits, but most of them only increase the loot multiplier, making them feel useless for actual gameplay. The new weapons also failed to feel exciting or worth chasing. For a soulslike, where exploration and equipment progression should be rewarding, this was a huge missed opportunity. The cutscenes also suffer from stiff animations, poor facial expressions, and awkward lip-sync, which unfortunately weakens many story moments despite the decent voice acting. Steelrising isn't a terrible game. In fact, I think it has a fantastic foundation with an original setting and plenty of good ideas. But a soulslike should challenge the player—not make them fight against clunky combat, poor optimization, and unrewarding progression systems. Overall: Great concept, disappointing execution. I give it 6.5/10, kind of mixed review, buy it when on sale and if you are a souls-like game enthusiast

dog 💩 game

Esta bien, es bastante repetitivo y al ser un souls like compite con los otros y como que se queda atras. Pero cumple

Já joguei no SERIES S e como adorei este jogo decidi comprar na Steam também, comprei na GOG e pretendo comprar pra PS também, recomendo pra quem gosta de um Soulslike mais tranquilo, mas mesmo sendo um Soulslike mais tranquilo não significa que dê pra brincar, se der vacilo perde em questão de segundos.

Nie spodziewałem się, że ta gra będzie tak dobra. Jest ładna a w tle leci lekki ambiencik, prawie jak w Skyrim. Świat nie jest na siłę udziwniony, na szczęście brak szczerzących kły oślizłych paskudztw. Oczywiście nie jest to tak dopracowane koncepcyjnie, graficznie i mechanicznie jak dzieła From, ale gra się przyjemnie i bez spinania pośladów. Taki jakby soulslight. Polecam gorąco.
