    Просто круто! В игре своя атмосфера, хорошая история, довольно забавное оружие и очень интересные боссы))) Новое веяние SOULSLIKE игр!

    Solid, enjoyable game, a soulslike but with difficulty settings which can make it pretty light.
    - graphics is OK, but the game is badly optimized with lag spikes
    - animations are good but with a few more combos or special moves it could be even better - the story is OK too, pretty nice side quests and ideas, with a little more thinking it could have been great; especially if you are    Solid, enjoyable game, a soulslike but with difficulty settings which can make it pretty light.

    Overall I enjoyed this game, can be played once but not an instant classic or favorite.    … Expand

    Easily the best game I've played this year. Beautiful visuals, stellar gameplay, and level design, great fun combat, brilliantly reach story. And it's one of the best Soulslike games I've ever played.

    Extraordinarily fun. Aegis is one of the best protagonists of the year, and with her I had some of the most fast-paced and engaging combat I've experienced out of a souls-like game since Bloodborne.

Aegis is one of the best protagonists of the year, and with her I had some of the most fast-paced and engaging combat I've experienced out of a souls-like game since Bloodborne. Graphics are also extremely impressive considering the size of the studio. So often while playing this game I would just stop what I'm doing to explore a room, check out the detail on a statue, or just gaze out across the city. Aegis also has some great customization, and this game is sorely lacking a photo mode to really capture her and the many outfits you can give her.

    The game does have its flaws - while fun, the combat is easy to cheese. Consumables seriously need to be limited to prevent spam and bosses all around need to attack more often and have higher alchemical resistances. You can get essentially infinite healing in this game which is just absurd. Other than that, I just have a lot of smaller gripes about facial animations, occasional difficulty in telling which doors are usable and which ones aren't, and a little annoyance about the end, which I won't get into here.

    But even while this game isn't perfect, I had a really good time with it, and considering this comes from a smaller studio this is just an incredible piece of art and I cannot wait to see where Spider goes from here.    … Expand

    Steelrising is one of the best action-adventure games of the current generation. Everything in it, you've played before, but never has such a collection of game mechanics been stitched together so well, not to mention feel like part of a coherent game world.

    Awesome game. I never had fun with From Software games because it was a somewhat brutal experience (i am not a pro gamer). This one is much more convenient, i can manage it very well, but still demanding. Perfect Souls-Like experience.

    Being a fan of almost every genre this game has smashed together into one has made it highly enjoyable, and the ending had me hoping that the next installment (should they choose to make it) gets in the development queue soon. I would like to thank the developers for releasing such a beautiful game we haven't seen in years now

    vidunderligt spil og fantastisk niveaudesign. Jeg nød at spille det og udforske gamle Paris landsbyer og slotte. Grafik er innovativt, men krævende. Gameplay er aldrig kedeligt og masser af våben at vælge imellem. Det er en blanding mellem et soulslike og et RPG-spil

    Spiders levererar sitt bästa arbete hittills, ett spel som gör Souls-serien bättre än någonsin. Det är inte längre förvånande, men det är ändå en upplevelse du inte vill missa. Allt är utmärkt, från grafik till gameplay och underbar nivådesign

    Het alomtegenwoordige visuele thema van de dood is net zo zwaar in deze game als in Bloodborne en de ontwerpen van de baas zijn net zo creatief als alles in de originele Dark Souls. Het is opmerkelijk dat Steelrising deze invloeden weet te laten zien en toch opvalt met een eigen identiteit.

    Jest to świetny przykład tego, czym powinny być Rpg: doświadczenie, które sprawia, że wierzysz, że naprawdę jesteś częścią świata gry i że masz w tym bardzo duży udział. Właśnie to osiągnęła tutaj ta gra. Jest w równym stopniu zniechęcająca, dostępna, piękna i ohydna, ale każdy aspekt łączy się w tak niezwykły sposób. A Paryż jest bardzo piękny.

    Steelrising is easily one of the best RPGs on the market and manages to even eclipse its predecessors such as Dark Souls series. The gameplay is slow and methodical, but never in a way that feels boring. The game gets hard after a while, but almost always in a fair way.

    Steelrising is a true soulslike that does some wonderful things with the concept of an open world, and its exploration mechanics. I haven't had so much fun with an open world since RDR2. An accessible, satisfying, and excellent game all gamers should try, not only the souls-fanatics one.

    Steelrising is completely different from what the fans of Spiders’ previous games could expect. It copies traditional soulslike mechanics but does stand out thanks to an interesting art direction and options that let you adjust the difficulty level to your liking. It should have been optimized better though, because the game’s visual quality does not justify its thirst for processing power.
