TL:DR

Gfx: 7/10
OST: 7/10
Story: 6/10
Gameplay: 5/10
Performance: 4/10
Overall : 5
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

First off..
This game is not only boringly easy (relatively speaking)
Like you can freeze anything and beat it to death (bosses included)
Safely kill bosses and enemies by throwables only
Get healing consumables like a Christmas candy "that you barely need to use"etc etc
But also has an assist mode in which you can control damage reduction (0-100%), stamina regen and souls drop on death!

How dare you call it a "souls-like" XD
Honestly I'm not sure what inspired them to create this game,
but it's not fromsoftware games.... not fully.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

　
Main reasons not to recommend this game

  1. I didn't like the era and the greeny environment, it doesn't fit the game.
  2. a souls-like but not in a full fantasy world. (thats a first)
  3. of all souls games out there, this one didn't give me (if i may say) the deep dark fantasy vibe that we used to feel and praise in these games,... long story short, it felt like a bad mix of games and ideas.


Cons:

  • Junky control, combat, and Ai system
  • Weird movement and responses, ex: your character runs in slow mo.
  • No real challenge, i mean you may sleep in most of boss fights,
    I swear if you spawn a ringed city Knight in this world, he i'll solo kill all bosses and clears all that mess XD
  • Confusing map, not sure if i'm right, but the map doesn't show your exact location, kinda useless to me.
  • you may encounter many bugs and glitches depends on where you play the game, and i tell you it's a total mess on steam.
  • Bad Performance and Optimization,
    aside from crashes and the extreme fps drop (that can only be solved by restarting), believe it or not this game uses 14GB of Vram on ultra settings@3440x1440, which my 10GB 3080 can't handle, so i had to lower textures res to medium!!! on a 3080 !!! well, I would've understand if the graphics are extremely detailed, but it is decent compared to similar games that uses wayyyy less memory and performance power, so idk whats going on here exactly !!!

Pros:

  • Weapon designs and abilities are interesting and fun to play with, and it's the only new and creative thing they provide, it's their nice touch
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

Note:
i didn't finish the game, yet I've played 10~ hours in closed beta, and they didn't fix it at launch, So i refunded and watched the rest on yt lol

Hello Abd.,

Thank you for trying Steelrising out and giving us your detailed review. We are sorry to read that our game didn’t meet your expectations.

In movement and combat we wanted to create a feeling of playing and fighting metal automatons. That’s why the physics and the way Aegis or the enemies move may differ from what players are used to. They may give the impression of being clunky or even laggy at times.
We understand that it may not be to everyone's liking and will take it into account.

It’s true that Steelrising may not be as difficult as other Souls-like titles and Souls games veterans may find it too easy, but it has a lot to offer with the original story, good use of vertical movement and atmosphere.
Regarding the consumables and grenades it is something our team is currently investigating and we do not exclude modifications, to better balance the weapons and create more demanding boss fight experience.

You are right that the map doesn’t show the player's location. It was intended that way for players to use the combination of map and the compass to find their way around and encourage exploring.

In regards to the performance issue we are currently facing - we are aware of it and we are trying to figure out the best way of approaching this problem. Also, make sure to have a look at our FAQ page: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1283400/view/3269074373301573237

We hope you will give Steelrising another chance. In the meantime, if you have any more thoughts or suggestions, feel free to join our official Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/eSGzPphXDu

#Praisetherefunds :praisesun:

Since the closed beta days i knew you were planning for a refund
I feel sad for those who played it more than 2 hours.
