Every citizen of our great State dreams of working at the Prime Ministry! You are lucky, intern – your dream has come true! While you are at the bottom of the career ladder, that is more than many of your fellow citizens will ever achieve! Have you already decided what you're going to become? Will you become a diligent and responsible officer decorated by the Wise Leader himself? Or will you become a hardline careerist capable of destroying anyone who stands between you and the Prime Minister's seat? Or maybe you are just a whistle-blower? If so, who sent you? And why? Whatever the case, you are now part of the Ministry! From this moment on, no one beyond these walls has ascendance over you! You are free to shape your own future!

Beholder 2 is a total subversion of Beholder 1, presenting an absurdly radical change on an aesthetic and mechanical level, and what a change! We went from a small 2D environment, where we had to control an apartment complex and its tenants, to moving through a huge 3D environment, full of activities, and a long and interesting car of characters, with an honest variety of possibilities to interact with them. It would be difficult for me to find fault with this game in any area, since I genuinely have no words to describe the absolutely flawless execution from start to finish, especially the twists and turns the plot throws at you throughout the story.
If I really wanted to complain about something, it's that there are no reasons to support the Inner Circle at any point in the game, and if there are they are minimal and not really worth considering, but beyond this, I can only define Beholder 2 as a masterpiece and one of the best sequels in the entire video game industry.

The game starts out slow and monotonous as all bureaucratic jobs do, But it escalates fairly quickly. some advice. Save often, pay your bills and don't piss off the regime ..
There is 0/10 replay-ability in this game but watch out for the twist on the final floor of the ministry it will catch you off guard. Likely it will hit home with the state of politics in the world.

I do like this game, its got its moments, it tries to make you take hard choices to try to get to the top in a place that would be horrifying to work for.
However, considering all of this I don't like how that if you were the kindest or the most cruel person on earth, all of your choices still intersect on one point. And on top of that, to get the proper ending for the game, you need to do something that could be easily overlooked at the start of the game.

Game's pretty solid. Totally different vibe from the first one, but I'm cool with it. Not gonna lie, the tasks(doing the job typa task) were a drag and kind of annoying. But overall it's a good game. Soundtrack slaps though, gotta give it that.

This game is amazing! It's challenging at times and sometimes makes me want to rage quit, or leaves me speechless. I would recommend this whole series to everyone I could. You need to experience it for yourself. It's worth it becuase It's jam packed with so many endings and ways to progress the game. Addicted

This is quite an interesting game and is very different to what I usually play. The atmosphere and setting of the game is really disturbing and depressing, which is by design. The story just makes you sad when going through it. I don't usually like engaging with media like this that is designed to make you uncomfortable, and although I feel that this game is very well-made, I can't say I really enjoyed my time with it or will be playing it again.
This game is full to the brim of different choices to make to affect the story and the characters in the world. Some choices are trivial and some can affect the story and the fates of different characters. When going through the different floors, all of the coworkers need to be eliminated from the competition, by either by convincing them to drop out or by removing them yourself. I usually tried to convince them to drop out, but I couldn't figure out how to do that for some of them. At that point, I would need to resort to getting them removed by force, which I didn't really enjoy doing. Also, the deskwork that needs to be done on each floor is super boring (likely by design) and only serves to award money and suck up time from the actually interesting parts of the game.
Games that have different endings and game-affecting choices like this game always end up bothering me in some way because I know there is more content to see, but the only way to see all of it is to play through the game at least once more, if not many more times (or watch it on YouTube, which feels lame). Most of the time, I don't want to play again, so I am just left to deal with the fact that I will not see everything in the game.
The game is clearly designed well and definitely has a story and message to tell, but it just isn't what I usually like to play.

I liked this sequel game even more than the original since my favourite genre is story focused RPGs - the original had a stronger focus on resource and time management. Great depiction of the hellish bureaucratic nightmare the Soviet Union was, the creators did a good job balancing the dark historical references with humorous moments. You play as a newly transferred public servant and gradually uncover why your father disappeared.
