Steel Rats Reviews
Disclaimer: If you're a fan of comic books, then you'll endure the gameplay just for the sake of the narrative and the cinematics.
Steel Rats is a creative game in many levels. There's something about its graphics and art style that makes Steel Rats very special and beautiful, and also the characters are cool. Though there are a number of issues that makes the platformlng part of the game devastating. Tate Multimedia's last approach to make a 2.5D game, is a successful achievement and if you deal with its some issues, you can enjoy Steel Rats because of its art style, creativity and also its challenging gameplay.

If you wish Trials games had more killer robots and allowed you to move in a third dimension then Steel Rats is definitely worth playing.
Steel Rats isn't a total crash and burn, not by any means – I just couldn't help but expect more from it.
Tate Multimedia’s wreck and ride platformer is something special, even though it made me mad and wasn’t that memorable. Steel Rats is rather unique on the whole, and stands out against everything else in the genre – whether it be platforming, action, or racing. Steel Rats has replayability, detail, and general cleverness in its world, design, and presentation that’s worth checking out at some point. It’s just a shame that it the controls and navigation become the biggest adversary.
Despite some initially awkward controls, a few difficulty spikes and some fool hardy camera angles, Steel Rats is a wheelie good time. An excellent art style, nuanced and enjoyable combat, testing platforming, metroidvania-esque level design, meaty audio and some unique traversal mechanics combine to make this game feel much bigger than the sum of its unoriginal parts. While it’s not going to win any Game of the Year awards, this is a game that’ll keep you highly entertained for a week or so.
Unfortunately Steel Rats won't bring a good experience for you, maybe you'd be able to waiver its story problems, but its tiresome gameplay, bad controls and 7th gen graphic are enough reasons to turn Steel rats into one of the weakest titles of 2018. however if you love action-platformer games so much and you are very patient, you can give it a try.

While Steel Rats controls are clunky and the story/characters are forgettable, it is a blast to play. The combat is fun and special abilities are exciting to release havoc on enemies. Bottom line is this: if you enjoy combat racing games, this is a must play.
I`ve really enjoyed the combination and feel of other games likes Trials that I`ve played before and mixed with the combative side of it made for a very fun and cracking game.
Steel Rats is good proof that you can continue to innovate in genres where little evolution is expected and that if things are done well they don't have to fail. Although it's a good starting point, it's not a perfect game and it needs some tweaks in its formula, especially in the control and the variety of scenarios and enemies. Still, it's a very fun and addictive game that will keep you hooked until you overcome all your challenges.

You are able to move in three dimensions in a 2.5 dimension action-racing arcade game, think of it like driving in lanes. These lanes can take you all over the place depending on the level.
