Excellent adventure game from the 90s
Even someone like me, who doesn't appreciate the adventure genre much, can like Beneath a Steel Sky. That is because underneath the trappings of a typical adventure game from the mid-90s lies a satisfyingly good story, a charming sense of humor (if a bit silly and forced at times), a catching and memorable soundtrack and a fascinating sci-fi/dystopian setting with a bit of horror mixed in. Granted, as I have said before, the game relies on all the tropes commonly found in adventure games from that era: the puzzles are not overly complicated but rely a bit too much on pixel-hunting, backtracking is a constant gameplay element, and there is even a particularly bad case of trial-and-error sequence. Regardless of these minor annoyances, BASS is a true hidden gem: a game that should be played not only by adventure games aficionados, but by anyone who loves dystopian thrillers and good science fiction. Also, it's completely free. And unlike most other free games available on the Internet, this one is actually worthy of your time.
