Steel Seed is a single player stealth-action adventure game set in a dark sci-fi world. In her epic journey inside a hostile underground facility run by AIs, Zoe is alone with Koby, a flying drone, as her only companion.
Steel Seed doesn't do anything particularly new, but it does recreate tried and true gameplay and traversal elements and wraps it in a stunning presentation. I have trouble with the final act as I think it falls a bit short of the promise the first two acts build up to, but overall the complete package is a pretty good game marked by solid mechanics...
While Storm in a Teacup's about-face from mechanical simplicity is audacious, Steel Seed is something I'm more compelled to admire than recommend.
The blend of stealth and action in a mysterious sci-fi setting held so much promise. It's genuinely disappointing, then, to find a game that feels like it never quite coalesced…a bit like a seed that never quite sprouted.
Steel Seed from developer Storm in a Teacup is a gorgeous and stunning stealth-action game that does a lot of things right, but also stumbles at times with difficulty.
This sci-fi stealth action-adventure game boasts stunning futuristic architecture as well as good gameplay. However, it remains in the shadow of strong competitors.
