Steel Rats is a game that should cater for the adrenaline junkies and action hero wannabes, but instead the convoluted controls and questionable handling slams the brakes on hard ensuring a much slower pace than expected if you wish to gain any fun from it.

It’s frustrating that a game that oozes style from nearly every facet can need a mechanical tune up so badly. With more fine tuned controls, and more meat on its bones, this could’ve been an absolute home run for the developer. Instead, despite all of its charm, Steel Rats simply fails to really hold the players attention for its entire journey and it’s a real shame.

Steel Rats races into near perfection, with only a few downsides to controls and aiming. It’s easily one of my favorite new titles released this year.

Steels Rats is the definition of a ‘meh’ game. It has some nice ideas and elements, but nothing is really pulled off particularly well. Combat is fine, if repetitive, but the awkward camera view, the unreliable collision detection, and the general lack of any real character, collectively brings the whole thing down.

"Steel Rats Review"Reviewed By: Carless yenDeveloped By: Tate MultimediaPlatforms: PC, Xbox, PS4Steel Rats is a pleasant surprise."Steel Rats Review"Reviewed By: Carless yenDeveloped By: Tate MultimediaPlatforms: PC, Xbox, PS4Steel Rats is a pleasant surprise. Something a little different then the usual. It's like "Trials" meets "Inside" A platformer on bikes where you solve puzzlers, fight robots, while making crazy jumps and riding on walls. You fight tons of different type drones, and bosses while looking for secrets and collecting junk you can use to upgrade your characters. There are different characters to find, and they all have different skills and attacks. I loved the voice acting for all of them. Really good voice acting for a small Indie like this. Everything about it seems high quality for a small Marketplace title like this, The cut scenes are beautiful, the level design really high quality. So many positives I can say about this game. It really feels special, the only thing is the controls kind of ruin that, If the controls were more spot on, this game could have grabbed a 8.5 or maybe even a 9. The controls how ever are very frustrating. The game is challenging so when the bike does what it wants to some times it can ruin your game, and make you have to start the levels over. If you hang in there, and grind past these issues it is really worth it. I won't go into a ton of details, more can be seen in the video below.Pros: Beautiful Cut scenes and levelsCool idea and storyAmazing Voice acting.Gnarly music and soundsRad characters and enemies.Cons: Horrible controls at timesOverall: 7.0 Clunky controls and bike acts on it's own at times, but if you can over look this there is a hidden gem to be found here. Some thing totally different then games your used to.
