Beyond: Two Souls

Quantic has the tallent to create games that you can judge as movies, that's impressive enough. The story is brilliant and the characters alive (and not lifelike), which makes you immerse a lot. Music and ambiance are both top notch. I removed a star because I found it a little bit too long in the end (I went through it in one go which might explain it), but I had a fantastic time

Beyond: Two Souls is a game like no other. It's simply outstanding in terms of it's individuality and story. It has real actors such as Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe, who prove to be truly great at delivering their roles. The highlight of this game is Page, as Jodie Holmes. You fell connected to the character and you care about her as you struggle to fight contention and danger throughout the game. Quantic Dream know how to make a game with realistic characters and a powerful storyline, I'll tell you that.

Be warned. The gameplay is unique and sometimes enjoyable but don't expect Beyond: Two Souls to raise the bar in the gameplay categories, as it is meant to be played as an interactive tale or movie. The gameplay is very much an acquired taste but most people will enjoy it.

The music to this game is simply one of the best soundtracks in the history of entertainment. An emotional and beautiful, artistic, melodramatic soundtrack composed by Normand Corbeil, Lorne Balfe with help from music mastermind Hans Zimmer. It is so good, the soundtrack. The themes are very strong and quite amazing. This game is better than what most people think.

Beyond: Two Souls might suffer from some critics but trust me, DO NOT listen to them. It really is a unique game that captures your attention.

An essential play.

Polarizing reviews from players for Beyond: Two Souls. I can understand why, as many serious gamers may be disappointed that it's more like a play-through novel than a game. For me and many others however, this is a captivating story that's both unsettling and refreshing. I'm a fan of Choose Your Own Adventure books, so this has enough variability to make it intriguing, yet keeps the story moving along a cohesive direction. A few revelations are predictable, however there are a lot of surprises. The ending has a riveting crescendo followed by very important options for endings. So much of this game is art: directing, action adventure, drama, sci-fi, thriller, music, and a whole lot of heart.

I have to say i did not expect much of it, but I was blown away. The acting was one of a kind, Ellen Page did a fantastic job, and so did the rest of the cast and crew.

I was not a huge fan of Ellen Page, because I didn't pay enough attention to her movies, but she has won me over, I can now say that I am a HUGE fan.

When it ended, I was speechless, and i was compelled with such emotion, I can't even describe it, I had tears in my eyes and I could not believe it ended. I fell in love with the story and character, it really makes you care for "Jodie" and I would recommend it to everyone, gamer or not, it is a Masterpiece.

10 / 10

The creaters of this game have done a outstanding job! I love the characters, the story, the plot and everything. It's sometimes sad and makes you fell sorry of them. It's a type of game that makes you don't want it to end. The graphics are well doned. The actors did a great job. It makes you care about the actors. The game gives me the forrest gump feeling where it says stuff happened in the past, in this game its similar, the chapters jump to parts. if this game was so suceessful, why not make a film of it?. I do hope the game released a PC platform and Xbox platform. Its pretty much all I have to say.

its worth it 10/10
