Critic Reviews for Steel Seed
Steel Seed is a beautiful and fun addition to the stealth action-adventure genre but doesn't fully deliver on some of its best ideas.
Steel Seed is a stealth action game with a small handful of shiny chrome moments to find, but they are buried under a whole lot of mediocrity and rust.
Steel Seed is a competent and polished game that demonstrates Storm in a Teacup's growing ambitions. Its stealth mechanics, art direction, and precision of its basic controls showcase a studio that is increasingly mastering its craft. However, its excessive adherence to formulas established by major studios limits its potential to truly stand out. I enjoyed my time with Steel Seed despite its limitations. Its lack of originality may be its greatest weakness, but it also makes it an accessible and familiar experience for fans of the genre.

Zoe may be the chosen one destined to save the world, but the game around her never really feels like it's convinced of it — or itself. And if you can’t persuade yourself of the story you’re telling, it’s damn hard to convince anyone else.
Steel Seed is not going to win any awards for originality, but it's a solid stealth-focused action adventure game that is entertaining throughout.
Steel Seed successfully blends its inspirations into a compelling sci-fi adventure that feels both fresh and familiar. It truly shines during its climbing and cinematic platforming segments, delivering memorable moments that echo its influences without feeling derivative.
Steel Seed is the kind of game that you'd love to see do better, because while its combat lacks polish and its story is fairly generic, you can feel that this is a game born out of ambition. Unfortunately, while they're never bad, most of its elements can't keep up the same level of quality as its breathtaking vistas.

Despite Steel Seed being steeped in familiar tropes and clichés, the developers paid close attention to the visuals and crafted gameplay that strikes a solid balance between stealth action and hack-and-slash mechanics.
