Beyond a Steel Sky

"Filled with what made the original game great, this second trip to Union City has been worth the 26-year hiatus."

"‎Beyond a Steel Sky is the perfect sequel to its predecessor, a journey that catches you from beginning to end thanks to an interesting story that manages to connect with us because of its similarity to real life. A story …"

"Having never played the original, but certainly having played my fair share of old-school adventure titles, Beyond a Steel Sky definitely has an authentic feel consistent with the classic era but with some more modern trappings..."

"To have fun in Beyond a Steel Sky you do not need to know the first installment - just like this type of production. However, it is worth remembering that this is not a production without errors and on the …"

"Beyond the Steel Sky is full of big and small issues. From the fact that it took 28 years for it to come back, to its gameplay getting repetitive, to somehow ugly character designs and of course tons of bugs; …"

"After 26 years, Beyond A Steel Sky is a strange yet welcome sequel. Not quite fresh enough to stand alone nor nostalgic enough to stir the memory, it nevertheless manages to thoroughly entertain if not thrill."

"Beyond A Steel Sky might be one of the best examples of a point-and-click adventure game in the last few years."

"The 3D environments just don&s;t have the same magic, either. Beyond a Steel Sky&s;s visuals are basic, and its locations are all a bit sterile. And that&s;s a shame, because at its core, this is a heartfelt and often charming …"

"Nonetheless, Beyond a Steel Sky magically brings its 1994 ancestor back to life. The style, the humour, the chirpy dystopia are all revived. However, a lot has happened since that first golden age of adventures, and if you want a …"

"A good adventure game that faithfully recaptures the spirit of its predecessor while also welcoming new players with a few accessibility options and a storyline that can be appreciated even by those unfamiliar with Beneath a Steel Sky."

"In sum, Beyond A Steel Sky is a solid adventure game from a studio that has proven their skills and passion for the genre many times over many years. I’m really glad I finally got into the Steel Sky games …"
