GPU drivers can be updated and subtitles patched, but there are also occasional failures of logic too, odd for a game whose denouement is tied up in paradoxes and reasoning.

GameWatcher wrote that the game "has big shoes to fill and not only fills that shoe, but it knocks the definition of a modern adventure game out of the park. It was released on 26 June 2020 on the Apple Arcade subscription service, and on Jon Steam.ĭark Station praised the game: "Beyond a Steel Sky is in many ways respectful of genre traditions but with modern wisdom and presentation.
