Beyond a Steel Sky

I'm sorry, but no.

I love graphic adventure games, and this one is simply disappointing. - The controls are very clunky: the PC version seems to have been just an afterthought. - Along with the controls, every object and character in the game always gets in the way of whatever you're trying to do, making the overall experience extremely frustrating. - The graphics look nice, but I think that the engine used was not the right one for this kind of games, at least in its current state. - The puzzles are not challenging at all and mostly based on the same logic and hacking interface. It's like playing at a "very easy" difficulty level. They could have actually implemented different difficulty levels if they wanted to make the game more accessible. - The characters are forgettable. - The dialogues are forgettable. - The story is forgettable. - The finale is forgettable. - It tries to be funny. It is not. - There's a "subtle" political subtext which is simply ridiculous and somewhat obnoxious. Avoid this one, it was painful to play till the end. There are so many beautiful graphic adventures out there.
