Joey is missing and no one knows where he has gone, while the control has been handed to a bunch of powerful councillors. When he eventually does get inside the city (which is so long-winded I would have given up on the child and gone home) things turn out to be not quite as they appear. Having followed the tracks to the outskirts of ‘Union City’ Robert comes across the dead body of a sanitation worker called Graham Grundy and soon realises that the only way to get into the heavily defended city is to assume his identity. The art style then changes to a 3D cell-shaded art style reminiscent of ‘Borderlands’. Robert has a very strong yet unexplained connection to the child so he sets off to rescue him. Faceless cyborgs emerge to grab the child and the machine heads off into the wastelands. Robert is fishing with a friend and his son Milo when a giant mechanical creature rears up out of the sea.
Like the original game, the back story is told via the medium of a graphic novel. Let’s grab a fresh can of Spankles and explore a megacity in the Xbo圎ra review of Beyond a Steel Sky.ĭeveloped by Revolution Software the game is described as a Cyberpunk science fiction adventure from legendary comic book artist Dave Gibbons and creator of the ‘Broken Sword’ series Charles Cecil. I did not play the original game but I am sure everything is just fine…. Set ten years after the events of ‘Beneath a Steel Sky’, Robert Foster is finally returning to the Union City that he left in the hands of his sentient robot best friend Joey.
Obviously, it could never happen in reality but due to environmental disasters and human conflict, the residents of future earth live either in giant cities or the ravaged wastelands known as the Gap.
