It's definitely worth playing Beyond a Steel Sky. An intriguing story and a rather unique world full of colorful characters made this title draw me without memory for a few good hours.

Beyond a Steel Sky is a great successor to a genre that seemed stuck between oblivion and an evolution lacking its essence. Its puzzles are original and satisfying, its world is interesting and engaging, and overall, it's a tremendously fun experience.

Whilst there are some annoying quirks in the game, they are mostly able to be overlooked and could easily be rectified in a post-release patch although I passionately believe that post-release patches shouldn’t be needed but I digress. For adventure fans and fans of graphic novels, there is plenty of content in Beyond a Steel Sky with great character portrayal and music that really evocates the world you must survive in and overall it is a great game worth serious consideration.
Beyond a Steel Sky is an impressive adventure game with an intriguing story and a fun hacking system that adds a layer of challenge. As you play, you'll constantly wonder what situation you'll face next and what chain of events you'll have to complete while you're there.
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.

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 that processes us through a filmic and polished artistic design, putting the icing on the cake its wonderful soundtrack. However, like everything in this life it has its great shadows, mainly technical errors that can be solved in future patches, although others such as its artificial intelligence are much more complicated.

Revolution Software is back in the spotlight in better shape than ever. In the footsteps of that never really forgotten Beneath a Steel Sky takes shape a sequel worthy of its playful heritage, which finds in this new chapter a three-dimensional space and an unprecedented fluidity. Adventure with serious but not serious tones, Beyond a Steel Sky succeeds in the daring enterprise of combining the charm of the classic with that of the modern, giving life to a truly charismatic and playfully valid product.

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; but there is another fact here that no matter how many problems and no matter how big or small they are, it's very hard no to fall in love with it. Beyond the Steel Sky may not be a big budget AAA game that meets the standards of the industry these days, but it is a beautiful, fun and deep journey that takes you back to the good old days when gaming was just about gaming.

Beyond a Steel Sky is a really good adventure game that stands strong thanks to its solid writing, fun puzzles, and stunning presentation.
Net of some technical compromise, perhaps unacceptable for many, but justified by the budget of an evidently limited production, Beyond a Steel Sky is an appreciable title, and a worthy heir to that timeless classic that was Beneath a Steel Sky.

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 has some technical issues but it's excellent writing and interesting storytelling make it well worth experiencing.
Beyond a Steel Sky is a a worthy follow-up to the orginal game. Its story, characters, atmosphere and puzzles are truly enjoyable and its comic book visuals are totally fitting. It's just too bad that it doesn't feel well polished and that some people wiil, more than surely, have some headaches because it's sometimes really hard to know what's the next objective.

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 creative addition to the indie-fuelled inventiveness of the modern genre then you should look elsewhere. This is a game that remembers exactly how great things were in 1994, but isn’t much interested in how great they were last week.
Straddling a fine line between tradition and modernization, Beyond a Steel Sky is a worthy follow up to the original that manages to create a compelling tale for fans of the 1994 classic and newcomers starting with this game alike.
There's a solid adventure game in Beyond A Steel Sky. The puzzles make sense and ease newcomers to the genre, the story is mostly on point, and the writing is robust. Whether you're a longtime fan of the original or just coming to its world now, there's plenty to enjoy in Beyond. The multitude of technical gameplay and presentation issues make it difficult to eke out all of the joy you can from the title. If you can deal with all of that, then you'll find a fine adventure game to sink your teeth into. Otherwise, you might want to wait for a few patches to see if the issues get ironed out.
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 occasion of the debut on new consoles, they are still not avoided.
