Beyond a Steel Sky
SCORE: 63
I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming was
given a digital download code for Beyond a Steel Sky on the Nintendo
Switch. Beyond a Steel Sky can also be found on iOS, PC, PS4, and Xbox
One. There are physical copy versions of Beyond a Steel Sky available on
the console editions of Beyond a Steel Sky. Players take on the role of
Robert Foster in Beyond a Steel Sky. Robert is a roaming engineer in a
dystopian future.
Beyond a Steel Sky is set in 3D and we can see our character walking
around. As we get close to something we can interact with a cursor will
appear over the object or character. Players can select that cursor for
a choice of interactions. We can examine things, talk to other
characters, use an item and more in Beyond a Steel Sky. We must solve
the puzzles in the area. An example is feeding the birds so they will
leave a corpse alone.
The issues families will have with Beyond a Steel Sky are violence, bad
language, nudity, alcohol, and more. The story in Beyond a Steel Sky is
told in comic book format. There is plenty of voice acting in Beyond a
Steel Sky. The colors are a bit on the odd side in this reviewers
opinion. The character moves around slowly and has a bit of a bad
attitude. Thankfully we can run in Beyond a Steel Sky.
My biggest issue with Beyond a Steel Sky is getting stuck. We need to do
specific things to solve these puzzles. If we do not do them then we
cannot go anywhere else. This is aggravating to a player like me who
likes to run around and explore things. Obviously Beyond a Steel Sky is
not my kind of a video game. I understand there are those that are into
it. Finding kidnapped children inside a video game is not important
enough for me to spend weeks trying to solve some of these obnoxious
puzzles.
Beyond a Steel Sky is a bit of a dark world in my opinion. Beyond a
Steel Sky is written in such a way that what could go wrong will go
wrong. Beyond a Steel Sky taught me to pay attention to what everyone
was saying. There are important clues left in the mountain of dialogue
the player must sit through. I wish Beyond a Steel Sky had a casual mode
for those just interested in the story.
