Critic Reviews
Steel Rats Review - PS4
A highly enjoyable and polished if relatively unambitious bike-fueled action romp, fans of high-octane action platforming will be served very well by Steel Rats.
75%Steel Rats (PS4) REVIEW – Stop-Start Your Engines
Steel Rats isn't a total crash and burn, not by any means – I just couldn't help but expect more from it. Microtransactions: none
60%Steel Rats Review (PC)
Steel Rats comes like a breath of fresh air in the platformer genre thanks to the vehicle combat elements mixed in, which boost the game's intensity to a level any hardcore gamer dreams of. While you may start off cursing at how you control your bike, a few hours into the game you'll be going faster and faster, chopping through bots, dodging falling debris and speed running through levels like you've been born doing it. Disclaimer: If you're a fan of comic books, then you'll endure the gameplay just for the sake of the narrative and the cinematics.
