Netflix Games has just expanded its lineup with the highly anticipated release of **Steel Paws**, a new free-to-play title available exclusively to Netflix subscribers. This platforming brawler, crafted in collaboration with the renowned Yu Suzuki of Shenmue fame, invites players to embark on an exhilarating journey up a mysterious tower.
In **Steel Paws**, you assume the role of a cybernetic explorer, navigating the tower's challenges with the help of your robotic companions. These mechanical allies can be customized and upgraded, allowing you to harness a variety of special moves essential for battling the swarms of hostile robots that guard the path to the summit.
Yu Suzuki's influence is evident in the game's focus on intricate brawling mechanics and complex sub-systems, reminiscent of his iconic work. While the gameplay looks promising, some elements, such as the protagonist's lack of expressiveness and occasionally stiff animations, might give players pause. Nonetheless, **Steel Paws** has the potential to be a standout title for Netflix, offering a full-fledged 3D brawler experience that could elevate the platform beyond its current offerings of show tie-ins.
Available on both iOS and Android through Netflix's gaming catalogue, **Steel Paws** is poised to test the waters of what's possible in mobile gaming for Netflix subscribers. As the platform continues to evolve, successes like **Steel Paws** could signal a bright future for Netflix Games, moving beyond the realm of reality show spin-offs and into the heart of gaming.
