Beyond a steel sky steam series#
Overall If you are a fan of point and click adventures, or the Telltale series of games, then you will instantly fall in love with Beyond A Steel Sky, and feel right at home as you play, it is far from perfect, and a little short, but even so, it is a game you should consider adding to your collection. The Bad A relatively short game, and as mentioned earlier, some of the dialog can be a bit tedious. The game is easy to play, the puzzles are logical, and never too difficult. The Good The graphics are superb, everything looks and sounds great, and despite a few dodgy voice acting, overall, the acting and graphics are top quality. Although Beyond A Steel Sky does feel much grander in scale than those games. Similar in game mechanics to the Telltale games like Batman: The Enemy Within and Tales from the Borderlands, if you have played those games, you will instantly feel comfortable playing Beyond A Steel Sky. Early puzzles include helping people, who in turn reward you with things that will help you to solve the next puzzle. Many of the puzzles will need you to hack machines, but often you will need to engage in a lot of dialog with people, to find out the information you need, sadly this can sometimes feel a bit tedious, when you just want to get on with the game, and not just listen to seemingly endless dialog. You then return to the butler, and ask him to do the laundry, follow him downstairs, stand back and enjoy the hilarity. One of the achievements you will want to get is to make a robotic butler fall over, to do this you need to hack into the laundry machine, and change some settings so that the water over flows. And while that is a very serious subject, the game does have a humorous side within its Cyberpunk world.
