The game does have a hint system built in to keep you moving along if you get hung up on something, they won’t tell you directly what to do, but more direct you in the right direction which will no doubt be helpful for those completely lost. This game truly modernizes the old point and click and makes it feel like something newer, opposite of the nostalgia-driven Thimbleweed Park (which I enjoyed) this takes the same premise of talking to everyone, picking up everything, and trying to use things in any combination possible to keep the story progressing. Set ten years after the events of the 1994 video game Beneath a Steel Sky, players assume the role of Robert Foster as he finds himself returning to Union City on the hunt for a kidnapped child, only to learn that the city’s new utopia state is not what it appears to be. Luckily you aren’t missing much in picking up the Beyond a Steel Sky, the game does a good enough job setting the stage for you and much of the game is focused on the present, not the past game. I do recall playing the original but it’s been a LONG time since I’ve thought about this game. As an “old” man, these types of games have always had a soft spot in my heart. 27 years later we get a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky…The original came out in the hay day of point and click adventure games like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Broken Sword.
