Steel Seed Reviews
Steel Seed defines humanity, even if it spells it out. There’s little nuance, and the twists about its story aren’t at all surprising.
Steel Seed is an ambitious project that shows how the Italian indie scene is growing, with courage and a clear identity. The game has its flaws, including technical issues, some design oversights, and a narrative that struggles to fully take off, but its heart is definitely in the right place. You can feel it in the artistic direction, in the desire to offer a customizable experience to players, and in the effort to deliver something that still manages to entertain a modern audience, at least in part. It’s an experience that deserves attention, especially for those who love indie games and want to support a growing development scene. With proper patches at launch and the addition of the promised voice-overs, Steel Seed could turn out to be a pleasant surprise.

Steel Seed is yet another demonstration of the talent of Italian software houses. Storm in a Teacup realizes a wide-ranging sci-fi adventure, combining a top-notch graphical presentation with a deep narrative as well as an absolutely exuberant gameplay mix of fast-paced combat, dynamic platforming and tantalizing stealth. This is a genuinely amazing product at times, but one that in its current state is flawed on the technical optimization front and the unevenness of some interactions. Get ready to help Zoe and KOBY: humanity's survival is at stake.

All in all, however, "Steel Seed" is a coherent action-adventure with likeable main characters and a gripping story. So, if you're looking for a linear gaming experience away from the open-world blockbusters, you'll definitely find a suitable alternative here.

Steel Seed is the perfect game to jump in to after Split Fiction and Assassins Creed Shadows. Its setting and combat reminded me of one of my favorite games, Star Wars Jedi Survivor. As a fan of stealth games, this game provides a solid experience that will not disappoint. The game never overstayed its welcome and constantly provided new experiences keeping the game fresh throughout my 12 hours with the game.
Steel Seed's great dilemma lies in the fact that it presents promising ideas, but which constantly come up against clear limitations in execution.
