    I'm sorry I can't get past the fact that after closed beta they knew the game was a technical failure but still released it. With performance analysis reports finally trickling out it's almost unfathomable that the game is this poorly optimized. FSR 1.0 on current gen consoles, 4k equals less than 30fps, 60fps equals 800x600 resolution and again this is an Xbox Series X "optimized" gameI'm sorry I can't get past the fact that after closed beta they knew the game was a technical failure but still released it.

    Really beautiful and fun Soulslike game. I've played a few others, and the story and visuals are better than any Soulslike I've seen so far. The gameplay is also more accessible but still plenty challenging. The "difficulty settings" are really welcome for me, I understand people play games like these for being challenging, but I like playing more casual after a long day of work, so thisReally beautiful and fun Soulslike game.

    Steelrising is a Souls-like game based on automatons which tries its best not to be a clone drone. The historical setting, outfits and graphics are very immersive and interesting. The combat is challenging and given enough time quite easy to master. The bosses could have done with being a bit harder and the platforming elements need more work. But it’s still a very sizeable game with plenty to enjoy. I do wish they had some stronger background music to help with the historical immersion.

    Steelrising's main attraction is its fascinating and gorgeous world. Paris is run down, broken and burning, and on this backdrop we get to play a a fun and violent dance with steampunk robots.

    The automatas of the French Revolution surprise with a souls-like above expectations.
