Beyond a Steel Sky in IOS

Dinsun here. It’s been decades since I first stepped into Union City, and while the nostalgia hits hard, I’m not one to be blinded by it. Beyond a Steel Sky is a competent adventure that respects its roots. The writing is sharp—Revolution hasn't lost their touch for satirical dystopias—and having Dave Gibbons’ aesthetic fully realized in 3D is a treat for anyone who grew up on 2000AD. Robert Foster and Joey still have that chemistry that made the original a classic.

However, the move to 3D brings the usual baggage. The 'Virtual Theater' AI logic, while clever, can lead to some clunky character pathfinding and awkward pauses. Puzzles occasionally lean toward the obscure, and the performance on mobile devices isn't always as smooth as I’d like for a game of this pedigree. It’s a solid 7, maybe a bit more if you’re a fan of the original, but it lacks the tight, polished simplicity of the 2D era. It’s a good story told through a slightly finicky lens.
