Charming, funny, and evocative of a time when point-and-click adventure games dominated the charts, Beyond a Steel Sky is a refreshing throwback that feels thoroughly modern and should be experienced by any self-respecting fan of the genre. Despite the occasional misstep (and a few bugs that will no doubt be ironed out in due course), this is a journey well worth taking with Foster and Joey; in particular, the poignant, bittersweet ending is wonderful. It has its flaws, but ultimately, this belated return to Union City is a resounding success. The Gap chaps are back!
