#BEYOND A STEEL SKY SWITCH REVIEW FULL#
The story is interesting, the world-building is imaginative and fascinating, and the characters are unique and engaging. Most of those who did play Beyond found it to be a satisfying follow-up to 1994s classic Beneath a Steel Sky, but like the majority of games that launch on. Thankfully, Beyond a Steel Sky has a fabulous hint mechanic that drops a new clue every thirty seconds upon your request, starting with gentle tips and evidence that, eventually, become full blow. Overall though, I really liked my time with Beyond a Steel Sky.
I did run into a few visual bugs, mostly with character models during dialogue, facial features acting weird, and things like that. There are a few accessibility settings, though the options menu is somewhat limited. The controls are smooth and are easy to work with. After a while though, they become more specific. The first few hints are vague, just to guide you to the right destination. If not, the hint system is actually really helpful, as it can tell you exactly what you’re meant to do if you ask for enough hints. The puzzles can be tricky, but if you are paying attention you’ll figure out what you need to do. However, there are also a few clever puzzles that allow you to hack electronic devices using your hacker tool, in order to do various things. You talk to NPC’s, interact with items, use items to solve puzzles, etc. The game plays out like most narrative story games a la Telltale games or other Point-and-Click titles. He finds that the city is not at all the way it was when he left, and you wind up having to infiltrate the city to find the missing child you’re looking for.
