Beyond: Two Souls | ★★★☆☆
I feel like David Cage wanted to do a lot of stuff and seemed intent on expanding the environment settings so he can push his Hollywood actors range, and while he succeeded in that regard, the game suffers from a big ass identity crisis. This is likely why the scenes were re-ordered to mask this issue.
The approach made me curious and engage but unfortunately killed any story momentum since they basically spoiled you their own story from the start or worse, you don't even know what's happening making the purposely emotional scene worthless.
It’s kinda puzzling to review this as a game since it’s basically an interactive movie, with you massaging buttons to progress the sequences. It's awfully linear, and the choices you make merely add context rather than truly impacting the outcome.
The world characters are great, with performances that surpass typical vidya acting. However, beyond that, the game is a collection of colossal movie tropes repackaged into one person's storyline.

Undoubtedly, it had one of the best storylines
The atmosphere of the game and the story were completely combined, which made the game more beautiful
The only problem of this game was having letter box in full screen mode and this problem was really annoying
In general, it was a beautiful game, I hope they make a remaster or a remake of the game
i Love it :)))

There were many frustrating and inconvenient aspects, but it was more or less okay. To be honest, It felt more like watching a beautifully crafted and well-acted movie with which I could interact, rather than playing a game.

This is my "Roman Empire", and a game that is forever in my heart.
This game remains my favorite through the years, I played it for the first time as a teenager and still continue to think about it from time to time, and I get excited to replay it again.
I've seen a lot of people complain about the combat system, but I think it's perfect for the genre. It takes some getting used to, but it's not hard to play on a computer. And to those who struggle with the combat: if Jodie can handle an entity attached to her soul, you can definitely manage a few tricky controls.

Although "Detroit: Become Human" created by Quantic Dream is an incredibly captivating and immersive experience, "Beyond: Two Souls" has also left me completely mesmerised and awe-struck. It has exceeded my expectations and proved to be a truly enthralling odyssey. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this masterpiece, with its mind-blowing game-play that continues to astonish, and the visuals, despite being crafted in 2013, are remarkably stunning.

Beyond Two Souls is a captivating game with a storyline that truly shines as a masterpiece. The narrative takes players on a thrilling and emotional journey, making it a must-play for fans of narrative-driven games. However, the quick-time events (QTEs) involving the main character and Aiden's movement can be frustratingly challenging, especially on the Steam Deck. Despite this issue, the game's compelling story and characters make it a worthwhile experience for those who enjoy immersive storytelling in their gaming adventures
