Beyond: Two Souls

Whatever anyone says, but it turned out to be another exciting adventure from David Cage, the creator of such games as Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain. His games have the appearance of the gaming industry. "Fahrenheit" was a breakthrough in the genre of interactive cinema in its time. It had high-quality implementation of both variability and an exciting plot. Heavy rain finally won my heart, that I did not calm down until I walked it along and across to see all the possible endings. Only it impressed me.
Beyond Two Souls is a great game that brought me a lot of bright emotions. And during the entire test, it was required that it last as long as it was possible to linger. Not only the plot hooked me, but also the little things filled with a well-known story. The plot is built around a girl named Jodie, played by Ellen Page. In my opinion, she did it perfectly. And she managed to convey all the accompanying characters 100 percent.
The game has collected a lot of cool things. There is a gripping plot and excellent graphics. Interesting gameplay (interactive cinema, diluted with action), cool characters and their dialogues, and even the secondary ones were worked out. Special awards are given to those who found themselves in the center of the plot. The work of William Dafoe and Ellen Page. They gave it all. At some point, you even forget that you are playing a game, and not watching a movie...
The plot revolves around Jodie (Ellen Page), and we go through her entire path of development with her. Starting from her childhood, ending with her growing up. She is not an ordinary girl at all, because she has to live with Aiden (spirit), who lives inside her. From birth, he is always there, or rather is a part of her, since he is in an advantageous position with her. Moreover, he has supernatural abilities, one of which is telekinesis and affects other people. As it usually happens, other people became interested in this goal and wanted to use it for their own purposes. And then the idea of ​​having two souls in one body changes the gameplay in an unusual way, because you can always switch from Jodie to Aiden. And he leaves his body, for example, he can open a closed door from the back, passing through. Or create a danger ahead in advance, for example, armed opponents and neutralize them. Or even take control of one of them, and then neutralize the rest of the enemies with it, who are completely unexpected. A share of mysticism also makes the plot even more interesting. I have never regretted that I decided to play, and now I want to replay it, delving into the details.

I love this game's story and theme but my god, the controls, especially in quick time events, can be painful at times.

Healing my inner teenager by playing all the games I would watch on youtube. The graphics and story are definetely something you have to play yourself. Thank you for creating such an amazing game.

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.

An absolute masterpiece. Bought this as the first game on my new pc and i was absolutely amazed, the game mechanics were cool and the story was an absolute cinema. 10/10 game if you ask me, hope anyone who reads this will buy it as soon as possible.

One of the greatest story games I've ever played. Played on PS4. Played here. 9.5/10. Play with a controller.

I seriously cannot believe people can hate this game. I will admit, I was hesitant to buy this because of the gameplay (which doesn't really feel like gameplay at times) and because of the other reviews I had seen, but after my playthrough, I have COMPLETELY changed my mind. This game is a masterpiece, it was written so amazingly.

I really can't say anything more, you have to play this for yourself to understand. This game has easily become one of my favorites, from the music, to the incredible cast of characters and the amazing performances, it is INCREDIBLE. I almost never write serious reviews for games, but this game has changed that because of its impact on me---it was just that good.

Jodie deserves the world. 10/10.
