Netflix Games has recently enriched its gaming portfolio with the launch of **Steel Paws**, a much-anticipated free-to-play game available to all Netflix subscribers. This new addition, developed in collaboration with the legendary Yu Suzuki, known for the iconic Shenmue series, promises an exciting mix of platforming and brawling action. But how does it fare under the spotlight? Let's delve deeper and explore.
Available for both iOS and Android through Netflix's gaming catalogue, **Steel Paws** invites players to embody a cybernetic explorer on a quest to conquer a mysterious tower. Accompanied by robotic companions, players can upgrade and harness the unique abilities of these allies to fend off waves of hostile mechanical foes that block the path to the summit.
The influence of Yu Suzuki is evident in **Steel Paws**, particularly in the game's emphasis on brawling dynamics, special moves, and intricate sub-systems showcased in its trailer. While Suzuki's reputation precedes him, known for both brilliance and certain shortcomings, **Steel Paws** impresses with its gameplay. However, there are moments that give pause, such as the protagonist's lack of expressiveness and some stiff animations.
Despite these minor critiques, I'm optimistic about **Steel Paws**. A successful full-fledged 3D brawler like this could elevate Netflix's gaming service beyond mere tie-ins to popular shows, proving its potential as a serious contender in the mobile gaming arena.
