Heralded as a “cyberpunk science fiction adventure game”, Beyond a Steel Sky ’s aesthetics definitely tick the boxes there.
Initially released in June 2020 on PC, Beyond a Steel Sky has been ported to consoles, including a lovely physical edition on Switch that includes a sleeve. Charles Cecil, the lead writer of both the Steel Sky and Broken Sword series, is a fantastic writer and Revolution have a way of presenting a gripping, often poignant story through relatively simple mechanics. Having spent a great deal of my formative gaming years bending my head around the multilayered puzzles of the Broken Sword series (also developed by Revolution), I was looking forward to experiencing how such a game would look and feel in 2021. Revolution Software are known for their visionary approach to the puzzle adventure genre and with Beyond a Steel Sky (a spiritual successor to 1994’s Beneath a Steel Sky ), they have coated a classic formula in a new sheen of paint.
