С первого знакомства Steel Seed ощущается как симбиоз популярных игр. Авторы явно вдохновлялись Horizon Zero Dawn, NieR: Automata и Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Чем дольше играешь, тем яснее понимаешь: разработчики стремились объединить любимые идеи и концепции в одном проекте. Однако в эпоху расцвета инди-сцены такие эклектичные эксперименты, не предлагающие свежих идей, нередко оказываются не слишком увлекательными.

From its title, Steel Seed, to its premise, aesthetics and gameplay loop, Storm in a Teacup’s latest action-adventure effort could be the most video game-like game of 2025. In other words, Steel Seed feels like a game from another time—namely, the seventh generation of home consoles, which might sound like a slight against the game. Still, sometimes all you really need in life is a good romp through a neon-soaked robot hellscape, playing as one of the last surviving remnants of humanity. For those who may not have heard of the game, Steel Seed follows the exploits of Zoe and her robot companio

In previous diaries, we have shared a lot of information about the game's world, about Koby, a flying drone, Zoe's “emotional” companion and even about Michael Bay, so today we finally get to talk about the main protagonist — Zoe. Zoe is the protagonist of Steel Seed. She is a young woman who awakens in a robotic body, stranded in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment. Her journey is one of survival, self-discovery, and a relentless search for her father, all while navigating the psychological toll of loneliness
