Instead, Beyond: Two Souls is still worth your time if you ever had a passing interest in its predecessor, but don't expect it to change your mind about the type of game it's going for./r/Games is for informative and interesting gaming content and discussions. With more time spent on tidying up the conclusion of the story, this could have been a masterpiece in video game storytelling, and with a refined control system to match the stellar amount of varying animations the protagonist is given, we could have had one of the most enjoyable games to play too. This does encourage replayability, but Beyond could have been a lot more than what it ultimately turned out to be. Almost every mission has multiple paths to play through, and it's always interesting to check your version against that of the rest of the world via the post-mission stats. Beyond: Two Souls has a lot going for it. It's a clever move, but doesn't stop the game from using a plethora of QTE's anyway. The interface is well designed, opting for a minimalist look that never feels intrusive or distracting, meanwhile the slow-mo fight scenes which ask you to move an analogue stick in the direction Jodie is moving require you to pay more attention to your character rather than simply following a QTE's instructions. As I said, story is the game's primary focus but you will be asked for some input in order to keep things ticking along.
BEYOND TWO SOULS REVIEW MOVIE
I can't help but feel the if the plot was a bit more tight perhaps a bit shorter, then the developers wouldn't have lost sight of what made the story so interesting and this could be one of the industry's claims to rival movie scriptwriting. That said, the pacing also drifts off towards the end of the game, as an underwater section drags out for too long than I would have liked. The game does a good job of giving you a variety of things to do, from riding a horse to piloting a submarine, besides the usual walking around. The story really does feel intelligently written early on, but unfortunately it seems as though the writers ran out of ideas about two thirds of the way through and decided to resort to exhausted cliches such as the love interest sacrificing himself for the protagonist just before the finale. prove just why they are big industry names by delivering lines from the interesting script with wonderful conviction. For a game based mostly on story, it's important that the actors get their performances right, and thankfully Ellen Page, Willem Dafoe and co. Nevertheless, Beyond has its own identity and for the most part it handles it well. If you liked Heavy Rain, it's likely that you'll enjoy Beyond for all the same reasons, and the same can be said for if you weren't a fan of the studio's previous attempt, as issues with fiddly controls remain, despite the generation-leap. Rather than responding to criticism of Heavy Rain (and for that matter, all of Quantic Dream's games) being little more than 'interactive movies', the developers took the idea and ran with it even further. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.īeyond: Two Souls is a well-refined, innovative art-form of a game, let down largely by its tired final third. I hate Hollywood but this is Hollywood done pretty much right. Get PS Now for a month, you will get 3 nights out of this and then you have 200 games left to get your claws in to as well. Don't spoil it by watching things on it, just play it. It was great to see the making of videos after I played it too, the production effort really shows.
BEYOND TWO SOULS REVIEW PROFESSIONAL
It is the most professional looking game I've ever seen and what a great pile of mini stories that all role up in to one big story. You get options to get revenge, to help and to cause havoc and it is incredibly well made. Sometimes I lost track of the objective though and wandered off the wrong way. I don't normally like the action genre but this thing was fun. This is like watching a 10 hour actiln film but you are interacting with it.
