With a striking sci-fi aesthetic, Steel Seed aims to deliver an experience that is both thrilling and deeply immersive.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Steel Seed finds itself in a strange bind: a high-wire juggling act that equally deserves praise and admonition. To Storm in a Teacup's credit, it's genuinely audacious to shift gears from mechanically-light walking sims and smaller experiments to a maximalist stealth-action-platformer confection; at the same time, I wish the team had picked a goddamn lane. Fusing such disparate design tempos for the first time ultimately reveals the weakest link between them, which also in turn partly poisons the experience. Tie that in with a factory-made narrative and aesthetic, and what's left is a project I'm left to admire more than I can recommend."
TheXboxHub writes: "Steel Seed on Xbox Series X|S is a solid new IP of a game; one that does mostly everything okay."
In a time when innovation often takes centre stage, Steel Seed boldly leans into nostalgia.
