Free and classic
Despite it's age, Beneath A Steel Sky is still one of the better point and clicks out there, even compared to modern offerings. There's nothing particularly amazing about it these days, but it's still a well designed, enjoyable game. I didn't find the story super appealing, but it's well enough written and that's mostly a matter of taste. The characters are, at the very worst, still quite memorable, and some of the interactions (such as with your robot companion) were pretty novel back when the game was new. The writing is good, the voices are decent (great by the standards of 20 years ago), the puzzles are *generally* pretty logical ( and I'm not sure why some people think "contemporary" audiences would have any particular problem with them, to be sure), but there is a bit of pixel hunting and walking-related time filler, something pretty standard back in the day and not particularly unusual now. As the game runs off the ScummVM interpreter, it works quite well, and should in theory run on literally just about anything with an input device and display screen. Think that sums up the pros pretty well. Some cons: Like pretty much every adventure game ever, you'll often do things because you know you're playing a game. Someone used the example of cutting an anchor of a statue, not because anything indicates you should, but just because you can, so you probably should. The music was good for the 90s, and is good at first. At first. Some of the accents are frankly goofy (why does Reich sound like a 1930s mobster when the game is set in Australia and everyone else sounds... not like that, anyway), and the spoken dialog doesn't match the written dialog exactly (it's much more "American" in terminology). You can die, though it's mostly kinda hard to do accidentally. Some people hate this in these games. All that said, it's free, so it's sort of hard to really have much complaint. Give it a go if you like point and clicks.
