Achievements are mostly optional silly things the player can do as well as checkpoints in the game. The care they took into the design and world-building did make up for the short gameplay. It ran smoothly with zero bugs to speak of. I was happy that I got to play afterward. It isn’t the longest game, but it was a nice gem. I took my time and had a relaxing eight hours of the game as I played around with the options and talked to everything. The amount of detail put into the world as these are fully voice acted as well even if it wasn’t part of the solution to the current puzzle. Instead of a happy welcoming voice of on, you can switch it with an aggressive personality of a nearby one. This can bring more humor as the player can swap functions or personalities with some robots at times. You change the programming paths of interchangeable things.Ī great example of this is if an object denies the user, you can change it to make it where the thing makes the deny make the object treat it as a allow. The hacking tool is a fun addition that also brings different solutions and some humous extras-the hacking works as you can interact with nearby objects with switchable components. The articles mainly reusable or contained in the same room make the game feel less difficult but very believable in the solutions. The crucial part of puzzles still comes from collecting and using items and your scanning/hacking tool. The simplicity still holds lots of complexity with few options not providing humor or achieving the objective. This doesn’t feel like an issue as Beyond a Steel Sky was made to work on Apple mobile devices. Nearly all puzzles in or around the place you are currently in. There is no combat in Beyond a Steel Sky, and it doesn’t fit or need it in the game. Gameplay will feel like a mix of a more straightforward point-and-click adventure. The game is voice acted well and contains many different agents that change from the hacking mechanic I’ll talk of in the next part. The extra info scattered around the game is very detailed, and the player can understand the world they are adventuring in. There are not many areas to explore, and some are used twice at most with little to cross over from objective to objective in the day the game takes place. The story stays on mark the entire game though it will feel very linear compared to other point-and-click games. The music is excellent in the background, but nothing popped out. The cyberpunk mix with the comic book-like style works well on the characters and world. The style of the game stays with its bright colors for the most part, while the darker tones contrast nicely when needed. The game takes place mainly in the city, with the small part outside the town acts as a tutorial. ![]() The story and game have a detective story feel about them. Though changed and under new leadership, Foster finds a way into the town and hunts for the missing child. A child you know from the town is taken by a strange vehicle, and Robert arrives at the same city the previous game took place in. Robert Foster is handy with tech and machines, a man who lives in a village in the desert wilderness known as “The Gap” is handy with tech and machines. The story follows the one you control, Robert Foster. You do not have to have played the first game to understand what is going on in Beyond a Steel Sky, as it does a great job telling the events of the first thought events in the current story. Beyond a Steel Sky is a sequel to the 1994 point-and-click adventure Beneath a Steel Sky. Despite a serious story, the game uses a cyberpunk setting with bright colors to add a humorous and silly flair to the game.
