Perhaps the signs were there. After the turn of the millennium, the company had increasingly fallen back on licensed titles and sequels – and while quality remained high, that was a far cry from the string of originals that had catalysed its reputation for bold yet tightly crafted action. But more than that, in retrospect Successor Of The Skies (Star Successor in the US) has the air of a last hurrah. It’s the equivalent of a suitcase overpacked to cover every eventuality, its contents poised to burst out the moment they’re unzipped. Even compared to Treasure’s usual exuberance, this feels like a game designed like there’s no tomorrow. And as sad as it might be to think that in a sense there wasn’t, it all makes for some leaving do.
