Overall, Steelrising has a really interesting premise and the game’s world is interesting. “Louis XVI with an automata army” isn’t something you hear every day after all. However, the game does look like it needs additional polish before it can shine. Specifically, on the performance aspects as the gameplay trailer didn’t inspire a lot of faith in the gaming landscape for the game. The most interesting plot in the world won’t do jack if the core gameplay is bad after all.
