STEELRISING Review - The Biggest Surprise of 2022

[@EndymionTv]

Thanks for watching everyone, I hope you enjoyed my review. Thanks again to Spiders & Nacon for the early review code. Also I apologize that the video is only in 720p I don't know why KZbin isn't letting my video be in 1080p 🙃 Anyway my Metroidvania video is coming, subscribe for more & share if you think it deserves it.

I knew it! When IGN gave this game a 6, I knew right away that I should play this game.

Same goes for movies sadly

Now I know why I had so much trouble in the beginning. I went to another area first and fought the 2nd boss before the 1st. And in that area all of the enemies where a lot stronger. I finally started on the area with the first boss you mentioned and I’m breezing throigh

[@nikolasperez7745]

I think its a really funny coincidence that this, Thymesia and Lies of P are all coming out months apart. I managed to play through Thymesia but it def didn't click with me the way I hoped it would, so Steelrising was a pleasant surprise! I'm hoping they patch in a way to respec at some point though, my first run is power based and I've been going through with that one fan glaive weapon, but I've been having a blast!

[@TheGameianDark]

People were excited when they saw Life of P but all I could think of that game is Steelrising (since the artstyle and premise looks kinda similar).. This is definitely one of the most anticipated games and glad to see positive reviews of a game from multiple people.. When games like Saints Row 2022 and The Last of Us Part 1 makes me wanna quit gaming all together games like these makes me proud to call myself a gamer..

While I love Spiders and am looking forward to grabbing this game there's just something about this video that reminds me of a 'Raid: Shadow Legends' sponsor promo.

[@kronosleblu888]

If only this game had the combat system of like the surge (1or2), it would be perfect. Everything else is good but the Combat and hit detection really sets it back. Best to wait for it to drop to 20$ or less. And that relates to all spiders games. Even greedfall wasn't worth anything above 20$. A shame coz these games have potential but I guess being a small studio you can't clean up your combat system.

[@fransabado6488]

I read that when NG+ is released they will add new weapons as well as main story fixes and special moves. Can’t wait, also your review was excellent. Keep up with the good work.

[@XxWolfxWaRioRxX]

I'm glad indie devs like spiders are still going strong because they might make a lot of janky games but you can't deny they have a lot of passion to make something different I finished Steelrsing 2 days after its release (including all side quests) and although I enjoyed the gameplay and its story the difficulty scaling was beyond bad. I had bosses that I could kill in under 10 seconds and only died to 2 overall because I got too greedy By the end I hadn't put a single point into HP and had over 100 health pots and all of the collected consumables left. If the games difficulty and scaling of power was handled better I could recommend it but as it stands now its just too easy... No boss should take under 10 seconds and this even includes the final boss that took me around 40

[@JustTooDamnHonest]

Steelrising came and went without me hearing much about it and well I will give the developers massive props for the steampunk aesthetic.

[@SomeUnkindledAsh]

I'm a big fan of Spiders. I've loved everything they've done since Bound by Flame, but man, they need to hire some combat designers and animators. I think Steelrising has more jank than Greedfall. They do so much right here. Rpg progression, level design, atmosphere, story, and visuals are all fantastic...but that combat just isn't good. I still like the game, but studios like Spiders and Piranha Bytes gotta clean up the jank. It's not charming anymore.

[@nikolasperez7745]

I sort of agree, but I got used to the combat patterns

[@casualcookin3893]

Hopefully they clear it all by greedfall 2,steelrising looks way more fluid but i havent played it

[@arrowknee7356]

Developer should not be very proud of a game working at launch. That is the the very bare minimum that should be present. AS a fan of the dev I'll be picking this one up. They've had a few duds but have been getting better with each new game (minus Bound By Flame which was just terrible).

[@nolannish]

Thanks for the review, just picked this up today. I only just realised this is made by the same studio that made Greedfall, one of my favorite RPGS of that year ( had one of the best companion systems ever ). It's really cool to see a game studio make such great progression throughout their games.

[@VincentDraw]

I think about the french accents the reason probably is they couldn't find either french voice actors or anyone who could do a decent french accent as many french people can't speak English at all or well enough.

[@motan7864]

i'm french and this seems the more plausible explanation to me as well :)

[@ultibass-hyld6223]

Could be, but I believe canadian voice actors are usually hired in those cases, so maybe the english accent with peppering of french words is a deliberate choice.

[@DGneoseeker1]

Why in the hell did they use full English voice acting but with random French phrases inserted into the English speech?!

Thanks a lot for this review. I've been on the fence with SteelRising for a while, but based on some things you said and the fact that respec will be added, I've decided to buy it. I really liked the UI during your gameplay, reminds me of Elden Ring with a minimalist approach instead of Ubisoft-like tittles with a gazillion icons on screen.

Looks incredible and your biggest problem are the British accents lol Would you pefer a 'Mr Bean phoney French accent'.

We're playing a game with robots in 18th century France lol I wouldn't give it too much thought...they could have American accents.....the acting has to be good however.

[@Mortal_Indeed]

I have never been so glad that I am not a native English speaker who can identify different accents. As long as the acting is not so bad that me with my half ass English can notice, its all just "English" to me. Makes me enjoy way more low budget games with immersion breaking accent than others. I call it a win. Lol.

[@EndymionTv]

Nah just that they should have French accents at least. I mean imagine playing Assassin’s Creed Origins & they have British accents you’d be like wtf Actually Cleopatra has a British accent in that game now that I think about it lol

[@ultibass-hyld6223]

@@EndymionTv Well having an accent doesn't have the same sense as speaking another language. When speaking english with a foreign accent can't be justified ingame, better to immerse the player in a kind of consensual speech, there's already enough hints of where the action takes place. Ideally offer a full local voice acting in the rare cases the funds are available, but frankly accented english is just exoticism of poor taste in my evaluation. Must be a cultural thing.

This doesn’t have any padding main story wise. Side quests do take you back to levels but they open up more with new areas via metroidvania elements so it’s fine

[@robk5437]

I will never understand why people complain about the length of a video game. You're getting more for your money and it bothers me when games are short. Anything under 30 hours should not be full price. Not that this game is but my point is I like to enjoy a game not burn through it. I don't know I guess it's the reason I still buy physical. I want something for my money and paying $70 for a game like Rift apart where you can platinum in 12 hours is unacceptable in my opinion. I don't care how good it looks or how good the gameplay is. That's way too much money for a short DLC

[@mrbigglezworth42]

@@robk5437 If you think I'm complaining about the length of the game then you missed the point. It's not the amount of hours I had a problem with, though it was a factor, it was that much of that time spent was on pointless busy work. Talk to npc, now go to a town halfway across the map to talk to another npc. Once you do that, come back to original npc to complete part 1 of the quest, and on and on and on. Too much of the game is filled with needless tasks like that that do nothing but extend what should've been a nice 16-20 hour rpg package into a 45 hour slogfest it had no right in being. My issue is pacing, and Greedfall has some terrible pacing. Likewise assuming that your getting more "value" out of a game simply because it is longer is a lie. A game that takes 100+ hours to finish but is dull for 90% of it isn't a bargain, it's a scam. I've replayed Dead Space 2 dozens of times, and that only takes roughly 7-10 hours to complete and yet that was a much better experience throughout that Greedfall simply wasn't. Again, it's not an issue of time, but an issue of pacing.

Other then the frequent skipping and frame drops, this is the best non souls souls likes I've ever played, finally they got the combat right l, closest to Bloodborne, I don't like how bosses have that glowing smoke but only this and mortal shell got it 95% right

[@sniff8739]

Tbh, adding difficulty sliders ((or a version of (i.e. not losing exp, etc)) is a very real turn off for me. For instance, Sifu. I absolutely loved it. I got distracted by ER, and apparently, they add a difficultly slider. I haven't been back since. Again, just my opinion, but I feel it adds variables into the intended exp that hurt more times than help. Also, have you not played Nioh /2? It's easily the greatest 'souls like' ever made. The combat is, legit, second to none. The stamina regen thing, is called a Ki pulse. Team Ninja did it first

[@kimi4802]

Gotta agree that nioh 2 has technically the best and deepest combat out of any soulslike. However the design leans more into having a million systems instead of keeping the concepts simple and applying them in intricate ways.

Just be warned it's French as hell. You'd think people would get this but apparently not. From the one playthrough I've played it doesn't explore the robots, how they work, how they came about, or much involving them. I think there's one quest line that kinda talks about them? But that's it. So if you're not interested in the French revolution but robots you're going to have a hard time with the story.

[@DylanZ1201]

8.5/10 is very generous for this game, I think IGN giving it a 6/10 is right on the money for the problems the game suffers. Don’t get me wrong, gameplay is solid and fluid, but far too easy to break the game with a dancer/immobilise build and defeat every boss in under a minute. And the game is extremely buggy, textures constantly wouldn’t load in at all, or would take a full minute to load into the game world. Got stuck multiple times on objects, clipped through the map, etc.

So I'm not very good at the souls like games I've tried a couple of them I seen this game and it looks amazing planned on getting it but after your review I went ahead and bought it thanks for the help you make this game so hype for me

[@EndymionTv]

I’m happy this review helped you out, enjoy the game! 🤘🏻🔥

Me as a new souls player was complete shit at the start when i first played elden ring (my first souls game) I'm at Ng+3 i never thought I'd get this far, elden ring imo Is a good introduction to the souls world. Elden ring is definitely game of the year material

I HATE Souls-like games…..but LOVE this one!!! Not sure why. Just clicked with me.

[@EndymionTv]

I’m glad you are enjoying it!

Game is amazing. Remember, when the, "game journalists" give it a low score, it's a must buy.

What’s amazing about it?

The biggest surprise with this game is the poor performance on PC. I still don't understand where all the resources go into. Playing it with an acceptable look makes it hard to get stable 60 FPS in 2k resolution (i7-8700k, RTX3080ti). You wonder why at times when looking at what's actually represented on screen during those low FPS. The usual suspects (raytracing/shadows) hit half as hard as you'd suspect, animated foliage does far more and DLSS doesn't offer the quite the boost you're used from other games. I hope they fix this, the game itself has an interesting setting and artwork and is great fun when running smooth.

i see in every video about a game review now someone commenting on IGN😂 Honestly it seems they like something if theyre paid to They gave the far cry 6 dlcs 5s and 6s. But i actually thought they were better than that. I like the Vaas one. His saying is doing the same thing again is the definition of insanity, and at the ending you choose to leave the loop or stay to do the same thing. I just thought this was clever. Cool gameplay too Ign clearly just rush a game to push a review before they actually get to enjoy it

[@mclloydeeee5973]

It's because the British/English accent and language is cool! That is why it is spoken all over planet earth.🤪

[@simoncole5564]

it never stopped crashing it's broken I traded it but i really liked it shame

[@nicolaswohlfahrt3007]

Spider is on the up and up! Greedfall was the most underrated game I've played in many years and this game is REALLY fun so far

[@abby8043]

I like this game and I also Kinda don't like it. I don't know what it is about the visuals but I feel like it could have looked a lot better with a slightly bigger budget just feels like its missing some polish in the presentation, models look great but maybe some different kind of rendering technique and maybe a little more color because everything looks very grey/brown/sepia. I may check it out at some point tho.

[@YannMetalhead]

Good video.

[@DGneoseeker1]

This game runs like garbage, looks similar to Greedfall in terms of graphics but has the FPS of a powerpoint presentation.
