    Beyond a Steel Sky is a typical modern adventure game with old-school logic puzzles mixed into it. With great writing from some of the great names from the comic-book and video game industry, it is riddled with linearity, lack of player choice, and irritating puzzle design in the later parts of the game. Still, it poses a fun experience for all fans of the genre, and due to its great world design, it is a true cyberpunk experience.

    The long-forgotten point & click classic Beneath a Steel Sky finally gets a sequel that takes us back to a completely different time in many ways. After many years, Revolution Software is demonstrating that they are still able to create an exciting story based on old fears about the future that are even more relevant today than before. Even new players who are not familiar with the previous instalment will get a very well-rounded story and experience, but they will still have to invest a little more than in other today's derivatives of the once-popular genre.

    Beyond A Steel Sky is easy to recommend to anyone who would like a low stress mystery puzzle narrative adventure game. Although a sequel, the game does an excellent job of catching you up on previous events and you won’t feel out of the loop of the storylines. I hope this is a series that continues on. Although sometimes a bit slow in places with minor bugs, it’s an engaging world and story to be a part of, with creative puzzles and fun throughout.

    The 3D environments just don't have the same magic, either. Beyond a Steel Sky's visuals are basic, and its locations are all a bit sterile. And that's a shame, because at its core, this is a heartfelt and often charming video game. If you're an adventure fan, Foster's second foray into Union City is fun enough while it lasts — but it struggles to be anywhere near as memorable as the classic titles that it draws from.

    That Beyond a Steel Sky is coming to consoles after its release last year on PC is good news. The less positive points like the simplified chat system are still there. However, the simplicity of its control, the good use of the track system, and the graphic modes available in the reviewed version of PS5 make it a title to take into account within the current scenario.

The storyline is fun and drives you pleasantly through the game. The tasks and puzzles are also good and are always enjoyable.

ThenI have loved the Revolution Software studio since the time when I played the first parts of their Broken Sword series on Playstation One. Then I was fascinated by the atmosphere and characters of their games. And this love has remained until now. I bought Beyond Steel Sky with pleasure. I will always support these guys. Especially in such difficult times for the genre of games they create. Hello from Russia! :)… Full Review »
