Netflix Games has just enriched its gaming library with the eagerly awaited release of **Steel Paws**, a new full-fledged free-to-play title available exclusively to Netflix subscribers. This latest addition promises an engaging experience, but let's delve into what makes Steel Paws stand out and see if it lives up to the hype.
Available on both iOS and Android through Netflix's gaming catalogue, **Steel Paws** thrusts players into the role of a cybernetic explorer tasked with ascending a mysterious tower. With the help of robotic companions, you can customize and leverage their unique abilities to combat the swarms of hostile mechanical enemies that guard the path to the summit.
The game is a collaboration with the renowned Yu Suzuki, famous for his work on the iconic Shenmue series. His influence is evident in **Steel Paws**, particularly in its focus on brawling, special moves, and intricate subsystems, as showcased in the game's trailer.

While Suzuki's legendary status is undeniable, his projects have had their share of critiques. In Steel Paws, the gameplay looks promising, yet there are moments that raise eyebrows, such as the main character's lack of expressiveness and somewhat rigid animations.
Nevertheless, I'm hopeful for **Steel Paws** to succeed as a standout 3D brawler on Netflix. A triumph here could elevate the platform beyond being just a home for reality show spin-offs and mediocre tie-ins, proving its potential as a serious gaming destination.
