This isn’t a problem per se, it’s the art style is very reminiscent of cheesy children’s picture books. Still, images are voiced over with general dialogue that explains the situation.
For example, the initial cutscene is done in an increasingly common comic book style. While all of this works to build a decent foundation for Beyond a Steel Sky, it’s everything else that holds it back. As you try to navigate through these problems, you find a couple of mysteries that suggest this place isn’t quite what it seems and paradise comes at a hefty cost. Plenty of red tapes, largely dictated by rules that make sense but lack the human sensibilities that happen all too often in our modern life. It doesn’t take long for the annoyances of the modern world to come into play. Things start to ramp up once you arrive in a fairly established city. This prompts your adventure to find the child and learn what is going on. Few clues are given, but the unique design makes it easy to identify. You’re introduced to a cast of characters, with a mysterious group and vehicle disrupting things by taking a child.
This is certainly the path Beyond a Steel Sky, the sequel to the ’94 cult classic Beneath a Steel Sky, needs to accomplish but with so much time and different expectations, can it achieve success in this landscape?īeyond a Steel Sky starts with a rather basic premise. It’s why so many reboots have failed, be it game, television, or movie, though every now and then we get something like Dexter: New Blood that potentially goes down the path players want.
Shenmue III made the bold choice to continue the adventure over conclude it, while others either fail to capture what made the original great or go down a direction that doesn’t pay off. Various franchises are remembered for a wide variety of things, with many creators or people involved wanting to see their adventure until the end.
