Steel Seed is a stealth action game with a small handful of shiny chrome moments to find, but they are buried under a whole lot of mediocrity and rust.

Steel Seed has hints of an enjoyable story and fun platforming, stealth, and action gameplay, but suffers from pacing and progression to the point that the experience could not be saved even by the great visual and sound design.
