Steelrising

This game is terrible. I love soulslike games A LOT but this one isn't it. Every level kind of feels the same, the enemies all feel the same and the combat is super clunky

For the art, lighting, sound , and setting it’s golden. What’s fun about it? Finding clever ways to get around fences by finding ledges to jump on.. The robot bosses are genuinely creative looking and unique. The story line is interwoven with so many French characters ; hard to keep up with each user thread. I got lost in conversation most of the time. Basically your a robot on the orders of a French Queen to get rid of the tyranny of the King and his evil robot legions. Doomsday kind of theme. I enjoyed it for the art design and sound. Game play gets predictable after a while. The Bastille castle is an interesting climb though.

Прикольная игра Бладборн с маслом!

在游戏里还要上班，nmd，一群沙雕动动嘴皮，就要365里路

在玩之前我就注意到这款游戏的评价很低，刚开始玩的时候还对此产生了疑惑，后来才发现这款游戏真的很无聊 游戏算不上优秀，主要原因有以下几点： 1.地图太浅了，让人没太大的探索欲，箱庭设计没有亮点，总是不断跳跳跳，和蟹蟹那种主要地图围绕跳一跳设计的不同，钢之崛起没有传统箱庭在空间上的纵深，探索起来十分单调 2.boss设计，我没打完剧情，不过打完象为止，这款游戏的boss出招就没有超过5招的，大树守卫那套攻击模组过来都够当最终boss的了。小boss一直在重复，打boss十分枯燥 可玩性很低，因为地图探索无聊，打boss也无聊，剧情围绕法国大革命。 唯一的优点是散装cdk很便宜，我花了6块多买下了基础版

Ho amato questo gioco. E' un gioco d'azione GDR con combattimento alla souls-like, lo consiglio soprattutto a chi si avvicina per la prima volta a questo genere. Il mix non funziona al massimo, ma io sono rimasto davvero tanto coinvolto dal gioco e dalle sue vicende, da fare tutte le missioni disponibili, tra principali e secondarie e al finale ho avuto la pelle d'oca. Quando finisci un gioco e senti la nostalgia per giorni, significa che ti è entrato nel cuore ed è proprio il caso di Steelrising.
