Netflix Games has just enriched its library with the much-awaited release of **Steel Paws**, a brand-new, full-fledged free-to-play game available to Netflix subscribers. This latest addition, developed in collaboration with the legendary Yu Suzuki, offers an exciting platforming brawler experience. So, what exactly does Steel Paws bring to the table, and does it meet the high expectations? Let's delve in and explore.
Accessible on both iOS and Android through Netflix's gaming catalogue, **Steel Paws** invites players to embody a cybernetic explorer on a mission to ascend a mysterious tower. Alongside your robotic companions, you'll navigate through challenges, customizing and harnessing their unique abilities to combat waves of hostile mechanical foes that obstruct your path to the summit.
The involvement of Yu Suzuki, renowned for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, adds a notable touch to **Steel Paws**. Fans of Suzuki's work will notice his signature style reflected in the game's emphasis on brawling, special moves, and intricate subsystems, as highlighted in the game's trailer.
While Suzuki is celebrated for his directorial prowess, **Steel Paws** isn't without its imperfections. Despite the game's impressive gameplay, certain elements, such as the main character's lack of expressiveness and occasionally stiff animations, give me pause.
Nevertheless, I'm eager for **Steel Paws** to succeed. A successful 3D brawler like this could elevate Netflix's gaming platform beyond mere spinoffs and tie-ins to popular shows, proving its potential as a serious gaming destination.
