I remember these point-and-click adventures of old. Growing up, I played Monkey Island, King's Quest and several other games in that vein, and I was never good at them. I always end up wandering aimlessly searching for the way forward and then lose my patience. Honestly, I wouldn't have tried this game if it wasn't for the fact that I stumbled across Beyond a Steel Sky and became intrigued, and decided to play the first game before venturing into the sequel. With that out of the way, Beneath a Steel Sky is a unique game. The world building and dialogue is really quite good, so in order to experience the story, I've been using a walkthrough, because I honestly can't be bothered with the gameplay. It's been worth it, though, and my guess is that if you enjoy this type of game, you'll have a blast navigating Foster through this strange, dystopian universe. In short, the writing is good enough that I'll suffer through the point-and-click tedium just to see where this adventure goes.
