Beyond A Steel Sky Review - The Final Verdict
963Almost 30 years have gone by since Beneath a Steel Sky; so much of the industry in general, and adventure games in particular, saw an evolution in that intervening period.
Beyond a Steel Sky could easily have gone wrong. It could have stubbornly stuck to the past. refusing to account for how things have changed in the almost three decades since the original game; it could have tried to chase down the modern take on adventure games in the guise of Telltale and Donned games, losing a lot of what made the original so beloved in the process.
Instead, it straddles a fine line between modernization and tradition, and delivers a well told story that, while decidedly beyond a must-play love letter for fans of the original, manages to deliver a compelling experience to newcomers along the way as well, in spite of some unfortunate stumbles.
