I have now tried twice to play this game and enjoy it but I just cannot. The tasks are tedious, and game play monotonous. Not enjoyable for me. The puzzles are ridiculously time consuming and I feel they were put in deliberately to give the game some length ( and I have quit without finishing once again)
To sum it up our protagonist Selene is on a mission to the moon. The moon tells Selene to avoid a wolf but does not explain to her what a wolf is so poor dense Selene immediately makes mistakes. Selene walks slow as hell. She is not in a hurry to fulfill her dreams that is for sure. I liked this game, but these puzzles were harder than sin. If you are up for a challenge, or love walkthroughs this is the perfect point and click for you. Unlike others in the genre just clicking randomly will not grant you a win. The art style is pretty cute. Selene has eyelashes for days, color me jealous. Do not make the mistake I did and make sure you learn how to sing to plants early on from the old lady because I totally missed that achievement and I am debating weather or not I want to retry with Selene's slow attitude. Lastly, Selene needs the fear of God put into her that wolf was right she straight up rides a griffin side saddle up in the air, girl, there is fearless and there is foolish.
Whoever decided to put a giant blinking circle on a dark adventure game needs to reassess their career choices. It can't be turned off. It can't be made to hide until a key is pressed or the mouse moves to the top right corner. IT. JUST. BLINKS. UNTIL. YOU. GIVE. IT. ATTENTION. It's like a flashlight in a dark room
Sorry, but I'd rather play a game that lets me focus on the scene and the story and exploration instead of one trying to distract me from the scene over and over and over again
A very underrated game and I'm surprised it's not more popular. The story is cheesy at times, but it's still captivating. The puzzles are unique, although sometimes so much so you are lost, and one will even take about 30 minutes to complete. The visual style is also charming. It's a great game to spend about five hours with if you're a fan of the genre. You'll need to play it twice to get all achievements, though.
I just finished my first playthrough, so I don't know about the alternate playmode. I really liked the game even though the art style threw me off for a moment (I am not a fan of the hearts-for-lips look but I LOVE the color pallet of the game). I found the puzzles to be challenging but not too challenging. They were challenging enough to feel very satisfying upon getting everything done.
A gentle puzzle game with some interesting storytelling, some intriguing puzzles and no handholding. The morale of the story being learn to observe using your hearing, touch and voice to overcome fears and decipher the way forward once fear has been conquered.
The art style is akin to a young child's drawings and the music suits the theme of the game. Took me about 5-6 hours to complete.
I enjoyed the game but the puzzles weren't puzzling at all and it was on the short side. Beautiful graphics and story though.
Beyond The Sky was a cute little puzzle game with a simple story. The art and story are just as simple and beautiful as a child's storybook. The puzzles are fun and they'll test your knowledge sometimes. There is one complaint that I have and that would be that I wish it was a little longer. If there were a few more trials for the main character to go through, it would have really made more of an impact. As is, the game is worth playing if you're looking for some fun puzzles and sweet storytelling.
BRAVO! Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I just finished it and started to tear up at the end. The story, art, music and puzzles work marvelously together. I am so impressed by how well thought out the entire game was. The puzzles were logical and challenging. I loved that I had to write things down with a pen and paper and really use my brain! Thank you for this breath of fresh air, please make more games like this!!!
Suddenly the eager adventure player noticed an unusual game which immediately aroused his interest.
Stylistically, Beyond the Sky has some similarities to another excellent game, The Edgelands. It's a journey through a strange reality, narrated in the third person, and the game does a great job at creating the right atmosphere. The stylized graphics are quite expressive, using different angles, close-ups and skip-frame animations. There are elements of different styles: sometimes a more pastel look, sometimes a more computer-generated look. There are some subtly amusing details as well (the illustrations to the myths). The background music and sound are also very expressive.
The game has inventory items and interactions with NPCs, but the emphasis is on logic puzzles. The puzzles are large and elaborate, but not very difficult. Figuring out what needs to be done and actually carrying out the task are equally enjoyable. All the necessary information is given in the in-game journal. There's no need to write anything down, as the journal can be opened at almost any moment and is interactive; at one point you'll have three separate journal windows open for cross-referencing and will be filling in the solution in the fourth window.
The puzzles can be interconnected in non-obvious ways: for instance, you're given a set of items to work with, and then you might notice that something is missing. All this makes Beyond the Sky quite special.
This point&click adventure is extremely hard in terms of brain puzzles, probably the hardest one I ever played. When I say hard, I mean like reading 15 pages of notes to decipher the riddle, figure out the color for like 25 ingredients, then mix the colors in your mind to label several jars. I have seen this type of puzzle before, but it was maybe 5 times smaller in terms of variables, plus there are other puzzles of similar difficulty. That is assuming that you have the patience to read the walls of text over and over, although I like the art and the writing behind them. I am not necessarily saying it's a bad thing to have a challenging puzzle, but I don’t want them to be so hard that I have to deduct the solution on paper. Unless you don't mind using a walkthrough (which I do cuz I am stubborn), be prepared for some head scratching... It could use a skip option.
Beyond the Sky so far strikes me as a very unique and unorthodox adventure game. Let me explain. You know how in traditional adventure games you have tools like inspect, observe, interact and talk? Well, here your character has to learn those basic things from another character, which is unique, I'll give it that. It adds an interesting dynamic to the game where you have to consider your new abilities. Perhaps you came across a character, but you did not have the ability to talk, so you will need to return to that character when you obtain that ability. Personally, I really enjoy its narrative, a lot of philosophical views and complex undertones. The game uses its soundtrack really well, I was instantly immersed in the game from the title screen. Not only it has a good atmosphere, but the story is also very creative, maybe too creative (<.<)...
Pros:
+ good atmosphere / very nice soundtrack
+ very creative narrative, if you like philosophical views
+ very unique concept (uncovering basic senses)
+ charming art style, in my opinion
+ achievements
Cons:
- a few very hard puzzles (a lot of reading and deducting)
- somewhat cryptic
Initial Impression:
I was hoping to beat this game for this review, but after staring at these jars and notes for 40 minutes my brain is fried (and that is after a 25-minute chess puzzle). Personally, I think this game is enjoyable, but I suspect that not everyone will be so kind. It's a very weird game as far as adventure games go, perhaps too unique for its own good. This one might be for the diehards of the genre.
