Very good adventure game

Well, considering that this game is being offered for free, the only real question to ask yourself is whether it is worth the short download time and small amount of space it will take up on your hard disc. If you don't want to read my review, here's the short answer; yes, it is. What are you waiting for? Download it! I'll keep this review to the point; BASS is a game with a wonderful story, although in my opinion the story could have been fleshed out a bit more. It's set in a city which is hundreds of stories tall, and feels to me sort of like a composite of the Los Angeles in Blade Runner and the city from Brazil. If a cool sci-fi story set in a place like that sounds like your cup of tea, than this game is for you. The graphics hold up fairly well, and if you run it through the included emulator you can tweak the graphics to be a little smoother. The voice acting is all very good, although I have to wonder how a bunch of British people (and one American guy) ended up populating a city in Australia. Of course the most important part of any adventure is the puzzles, and BASS has some really good ones. Most of them are very well thought out, but there are a couple that are nonsensical (and nonsensical puzzles are the bane of many adventure games, imo). One in particular involves launching a small animal into a pool of water with a catapult to destract a guard. What? Still, over all they are very interesting and make sense. Anyway, why are you still reading this? You should be downloaded Beneath a Steel Sky.

Flashback

I just finished Beneath a Steel Sky again. For the first time in - wait for it - 12 YEARS! The game came bundled with the first Sound Blaster 16 cards in the nineties so basically every kid with a 286 was playing it. At the time it was the one of the few quality adventure games that weren't Lucasarts or Sierra and my first introduction to cyberpunk. Set in a Blade Runneresque dystopia you - Robert Foster, and your metal sidekick Joey have to find a way to escape this metropolis prison and certain doom. This is a must play from the golden era of adventure games and it will keep you entertained for hours with a solid story and the all purpose crowbar to go with it.

ПОД СТАЛЬНЫМ НЕБОМ

Один из олдскульных классических квестов былых времён от Revolution Software (авторов серии Broken Sword). В детстве мне игра не встречалась, но теперь смог попробовать, спасибо бесплатной копии от ГОГ :) Сюжет и мир игры мне понравился. В начале игрі красочных комикс рассказывает предисторию о маленьком мальчике, который потерялся и был выращен племенем отшельников. Спустя много лет злобные полицейские возвращаются за ним. Кто он? Что они хотят? Кто его родители? Мир полон высокотехнологичных городов и безжизненных пустынь. Игрок попадает в город, который живёт в классическом киберпанке - корпорации, бесчеловечные законы, фабрики и заводы, высший и нижний город, где каждый житель имеет ровно столько прав, сколько цифр на карточке его статуса. Вокруг снуют роботы, каждый проходящий житель может вдруг оказаться андроидом, а тех, кто много болтает, находят в симпотичных железных ящиках. Несмотря на то, что история в игре трагична и жестока, но подаётся всё с огромной долей юмора. Друг главгероя робот постоянно шутит и огрызается, вокруг много отсылок и шуток на тему фантастики, а ситуации то и дело вызывают улыбку. Слушать диалоги и следить за сюжетом в игре одно удовольствие. А вот что не вызывает особого удовольствия так это игровой процесс. В том же Broken Sword всё было достаточно логично и последовательно - оказывается, к этому разработчики пришли не сразу. Большинство задачек для меня были невероятно сложны, игровые пространства разделены на много экранов и уровней. Предметы находить тяжело - пиксельхантинг во всей своей красе. Иногда даже зная по солюшену где и что лежит я всё равно с трудом мог найти нужный пиксель. Чесное слово, сам я бы не прошел Beneath a Steel Sky будь у меня даже лет сто в запасе. В целом пройти игру можно с удовольствием, если вы не против постоянно подглядывать в прохождение. Юмор и веселье вам обеспечены)

Beneath a Steel Sky

I finished this adventure for the first time in my life. And I have very mixed feelings about it. +: The story is mostly fine. It does not keep you in suspense, but it's believable and I can empathize with Robert. Game is very humorous with dark notes. Every NPC here is unbelievably good written. -: Game logic is very immersion breaking. There was not a single time I forgot that I'm playing classic "point and click". Here is a motorcycle magazine. Why do I need it? To exchange for a city tour ticket. Why do I need that one? It turns out I can give it to the pipe factory owner. Why? etc... The whole game is like that. Robert is constantly saying that all he wants is to get out of this city. And it seems that he does absolutely nothing to accomplish that. Death mechanics seems to be completely out of place here. Death feals absolutely unearned each time, and only makes a player to constantly save the game when action looks dangerous. This is done much better in Full Throttle, where the game restarts after death at a moment when it's still possible to change something. Death in the metro tunnel is completely ridiculous. Robert either dies - or makes an action that does not make any sense from his point of view. Complete this picture with occasional pixel-hunting. You certainly can have fun playing this game. It's free, it's funny. But find some game guide and keep it open.

Very well done, for a short game.

I would not have expected this game to be as good as it was. When I first installed it I did expect much. Once I started playing, I couldn't stop. The game was somewhat short, but a great way to pass the time. The story was very well played out, the graphics were good for its time, and the voice was great. Beneath a Steel Sky exceeded my expectations. I recommend everyone to at least give this title a try.
