Netflix Games has just enriched its gaming library with the much-anticipated release of **Steel Paws**, a new free-to-play title available exclusively to Netflix subscribers. This platforming brawler, developed in collaboration with the legendary Yu Suzuki, is now available on iOS and Android through Netflix's gaming catalogue. Let's delve into what makes Steel Paws a must-try for gamers.
In **Steel Paws**, you take on the role of a cybernetic explorer tasked with ascending a mysterious tower. Your journey is aided by robotic companions that you can customize and upgrade. These mechanical allies are crucial as you employ their special moves to combat the waves of hostile robots that stand between you and the summit.
Yu Suzuki, renowned for his work on the iconic Shenmue series, brings his signature touch to Steel Paws. The game reflects his influence through its emphasis on brawling mechanics, special moves, and intricate sub-systems, as showcased in the trailer.

While Suzuki's reputation precedes him, Steel Paws isn't without its critiques. The game boasts impressive gameplay, yet there are moments that give pause, such as the main character's lack of expressiveness and occasionally stiff animations.
Nevertheless, there's a strong hope that Steel Paws will succeed as a full-fledged 3D brawler. A triumph here could signal a bright future for Netflix Games, moving beyond mere tie-ins to popular shows and establishing itself as a serious contender in the mobile gaming arena.
