Steel Seed, a game reviewed by IGN, is like a car with a powerful engine but terrible handling. The protagonist Zoe is as out of place in the game as a tractor in a Formula 1 race. The plot is as exciting as a Sunday drive to the grocery store, lacking any real twists or turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. The gameplay involves a mix of stealth, platforming, and puzzles, like trying to navigate a roundabout in rush hour traffic.

The world design in Steel Seed is a bit like driving through a bland, featureless landscape with the occasional interesting sight to break up the monotony. Combat in the game is like trying to parallel park a double-decker bus in a tight spot - clunky, unresponsive, and best avoided if possible. Skills can be earned through gameplay, but it's like having to jump through hoops to get your driving license renewed.

In the end, Steel Seed struggles to leave a lasting impression, much like a forgettable car you test drive and return without a second thought. The game's shiny moments are buried under layers of rust, much like finding a diamond in a pile of coal. While there are some highlights to be found, they are overshadowed by the game's overall lackluster performance.
