If you enjoyed this review, please check out my previous one which just so happens to be a little old multiplayer FPS called Call of Duty: Vanguard here. I’d been away so long, but now I was back” So the burning question is, in an age where the FPS is king and multiplayer games are growing in popularity, can the single-player point-and-click adventure game stand on its own two feet and recapture the magic and humour of the 1990s, or is it better to burn out than to fade away? Read on to find out. Currently the game is only available digitally, with a physical retail release due on December 21st, 2021. For the review, I played on the PlayStation 5. It has now been released on PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch.

Fast forward to November 30th, 2021, and the game developed by Beneath a Steel Sky developers Revolution Software was published by Microids, who themselves are no stranger to the point-and-click adventure having published the Syberia series. This was proceeded by a PC release the following month. Initially, Beyond a Steel Sky was released on to Apple products in June 2020 via the Apple Arcade subscription service. So here we are, 27 years later with the much-belated, long-awaited, and highly-anticipated Beyond a Steel Sky.

But somewhere lurking in the back was the lesser know but equally brilliant Beneath a Steel Sky. At the summit of this mountainous genre were games like The Secret of Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Lure of the Temptress, and Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars. The 1990s were awash with point-and-click adventure games, they felt like a virtual choose-your-own-adventure giving you boundless freedom away from the onslaught of platformers and fighting games.
