So I started playing this game like three days ago and I’m already addicted. I love how hard each puzzle is (I like a little challenge) and the graphics are great the plot is great... everything is great. My brother is very annoying and he won’t admit it, but I know that he is jealous of this game. I would totally recommend it for him lol.Anyway, every morning I wake up, go downstairs, and get on my iPad to, you guessed it, play this game. It’s so fun! I’m not writing this to complaint, I just have a few suggestions.1: Sometimes when I need a hint, the hint is something that I’ve already done, maybe you could figure out a way to make the game like more updated when you’ve already done something (if you know what I mean).2: Maybe in the screen that you go to to get a hint, you can add the controls and the things that you can do just so we can have a refresher if we forget.3: Sometimes it’s hard for me to interact with, let’s say, the Gang Gangs because they’re moving. Maybe make an easier way to interact with moving things.That’s all I really have. Your game is amazing, and I can’t wait for more updates, and please put my suggestions into consideration! Stay safe! :DUpdate: I forgot to say that this game totally deserves to be on the Apple Arcade it’s worth it, and as I said before, I would absolutely recommend this to others. Thank you for making this really creative and fun game! :)

Update: I’m so close to the end and they betrayed the gamer by using the most loathed mechanic: timed action sequence. It’s worse than that because the interface is buggy (buttons don’t always work) and the controls are very imprecise. I’ve tried a few times and can’t get disable the droid before he restores power to the child pod. I was hoping to finish this game but I may have to abandon it. I feel really let down and disappointed.This is a modern twist on a classic style adventure with beautiful graphics and voice acting. I’ve played most of their previous games including the original. The touch controls are very cumbersome. The problem is how you interact with objects. You have to carefully target them and even when you do, if the object moves, so does the menu options. It’s crazy stupid. Worse is the hacker control. It’s easy to activate with a double-tap. After that you use the same gesture to manipulate an item (double-tap) or deactivate the hacker (also double-tap). Good luck getting the desired response. There are a lot of visual glitches that are mostly benign although other characters frequently get in your way or worse, walk away from you. Or even stand in the same space as other characters. As a classic adventure it can be tedious to complete. The story is okay but progresses slowly. Instead you’ll be doing a lot of hacking and passing hacks along to reach their final destination. Thankfully the built-in hint system lets you make progress with the story instead of being frustrated by the tedious game mechanics.

The story is great, the background graphics are great, the puzzles are fun in the beginning but they are all kinda the same so it gets a bit boring but that’s not the worst… and even the graphic bugs and the questionable UX of the controls I could overlook… But the conversation is just a horrible unfinished mess… for instance at one point I had to go get a uniform, so I do and go back to where I’m supposed to work, talk to my droyd (to figure out how to start) and the droyd answers “but shouldn’t you go change into a uniform first?” Like dude, I just did LOOK AT ME. And it’s non stop like this where either the character says something “uh I need to do this first..” despite the fact I just did and it’s right in front of him… or the person I talk to gives me answer about something but I click on another conversation option to see if there is more, different, info, and my character asks something he just got an answer for a minute ago, or says something that was already long discussed. If it was just every now and then I could live with it, but it’s non stop. Do people not do QA at this game company?? It’s a hot mess, especially when you add all the graphic bugs and the bad UX of the controls to it…

Beyond a steel sky i have since learned is the second installment in this game series. this game is set after the first game, Beneath a steel sky, but it doesn’t make it lesser in any way. The graphics, the story line, the characters, pretty much the entire game will keep you interested the entire time. I have always had a hard time finding a game that is enjoyable, has action and adventure, and a good storyline but this game has it all. This game is also the perfect length, i’ve run into issues with games that focus so much on making everything perfect that it’s so short or games that drag on, but BASS not only has intricate details but keeps you interested throughout the entire game. I wasn’t able to put it down and the only thing that i regret is that i finished it. I would absolutely recommend this game for everyone.
