(Revolution Software; PC, iOS)Glitches aside, this sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky, with art direction by Watchmen’s Dave Gibbons, is another absorbing journey into Union City
PlayStation LifeStyleRebecca SmithNov 20219/10Although there are some bugs and missed opportunities, the issues that plagued the game's release on PC and Apple Arcade have been largely solved, making the console experience far smoother. The result is a game that suits both newcomers and those who experienced Beneath a Steel Sky. Newcomers will find a great story that can be enjoyed as an independent game. Those familiar with the franchise will find a sequel that was well worth the wait, although it's unlikely to reach the critical acclaim of its predecessor.
