I've always preferred them and am always playing a couple at a time. I have played a significant number of interactive movies and I can say, story-wise, this is one of the best. Just like works of past from Quantic Dreams. There are great build-ups of characters and stories and weave together well. Some of it is pretty…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has good points and bad ones but the bad outweighs the good by far. Pros: -Good concept, you have an entity attached to you and you can switch between your character and the entity. It also jumps around in the timeline which can keep it interesting. Cons: -The freaking controls are horrible. This is one of those games that puts the buttons on the screen to tell you what to hit, the problem is they look different in every scene. For example RB will be in a box in one scene,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh yes! Beyond sick of this game.
unlabelledView post →IT IS basically a Dark Romance without the sex scenes. I started making a checklist while playing and the game keeps hitting every trope: misunderstood special girl, toxic “only you understand me” supernatural bond, endless trauma dumping, forced bullying scenes, dramatic military conspiracy, powers that are overpowered or useless depending on the scene, fake choices, and nonstop emotional manipulation. At this point I would not even be surprised if a random dark fantasy creature appeared…

unlabelledView post →Introduction Beyond: Two Souls is, for me, the best interactive movie Quantic Dream has ever created. The strongest element is Jodie herself – watching her grow, transform, struggle and evolve feels incredibly real and personal. As a character study, this game hits harder than most fully cinematic films. This is a title I genuinely return to again and again. Pros • powerful emotional story that feels like a complete life arc • extremely strong connection to the main character • playing from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For those who haven't played Beyond: Two Souls yet Story You play as a girl with supernatural powers in staggered story segments. For example: The story consists of 20 parts. You start with part 4, then jump to 10, then back to 2, and so on. A very interesting narrative style that leaves plenty of room for interpretation and speculation. Gameplay Very limited Making choices and many quick-time events In summary If you enjoy story-driven games and making choices, you'll love it.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game thinks it's more profound and deep than it actually is. The main character is annoying and unlikeable and way too much of the gameplay is incredibly tedious. The game feels directionless. One second you're living in an homeless encampment and helping a homeless lady give birth, and the next you're performing some ancient Native American ritual. This game also makes a weird choice to jump from time zone to time zone. One second you're an adult Jodie, then you're kid Jodie, and then…

I'm not crying, you are. Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you this game, which is kind of the same thing. Doesn't it suck when you see reviews for games you liked, and they disappoint you? Or you feel guilty for actually liking a game that many don't? My wife’s boyfriend though tells me if you liked this game a lot, then…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Come for the video game, stay for the absolute masterclass in acting. Elliot page and Wiliam Dafoe put on an incredible performance here. The raw emotion in Jodie's journey - from a terrified kid to a trained CIA operative - is so gripping because the performances feel completely human. It feels less like a traditional game and more like a high-budged, psychological thriller where you hold the controller.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(English) Beyond: Two Souls is a deeply emotional narrative-driven game that blends cinematic storytelling with interactive gameplay. Quantic Dream presents the life of Jodie Holmes, whose connection to a mysterious entity named Aiden shapes her journey from childhood to adulthood. The game stands out for its strong performances—especially from Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe—who bring authenticity and emotional weight to their roles. The nonlinear structure allows players to experience pivotal…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty great cinematic driven game and the casting/acting was pretty solid too. 100% would recommend a blind playthrough like I did. I would also recommend doing one in chronological order just because the timeline got a little confusing. For any achievement hunters, the one for all endings was a bit tedious(rep[laying the same chapters a few times). Game also doesn't support widescreen (cuts off the QTE's entirely so the first two hours were long headbanging moments for me) and the QTE's as a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most choices aren't really choices, the game really tries to force some stuff onto you, the story is at moments laughably bad. Some story aspects and some characters are ok but that's it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beyond Two Souls might actually be the best story-driven game I've ever played. It's just so well-told, immersive and emotional. You might be feeling like you, as a player, had to little to do, which is true, but that's exactly what a cinematic game is. which is something most players probably didn't realize. They criticized this game for being to much of a passive expierience for the player, but failed to take into account that this game is actually labeled as a cinematic game. Jodie Holmes'…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beyond disappointed with Ace Combat 8’s MP. It reeks of 2007 Japanese pay-to-win game design.
unlabelledView post →One of the most beautifully written story-driven games of the 7th console generation. It’s a real shame we rarely get games like Beyond: Two Souls anymore. While widely known, it remains an underrated cinematic masterpiece. The narrative depth is outstanding, and the way the ending splits into multiple distinct outcomes based on choices you made throughout the entire playthrough makes the journey feel truly personal. A unique, emotional psychological thriller. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The controls are absolute ass Button presses regularly don't register and the camera controls either don't register, are randomly inverted or stop working mid turn, making the game borderline unplayable. Walking around was already finicky on the ps3 because le cinematic storytelling but walking is the least of your problems on this broken ass port. The writing is kinda ass too. I remembered it very differently. Oh well 5/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the demo a few years back and underestimated it, this game is beyond what I expected it to be, it has depth many folds out of my imagination, ending was a breeze and a much-awaited expectation for a sequel, buying this game at the current discounted price was very unjust, almost a steal, I can't thank you enough for making this game accessable to low budget ppl, you made my new year <3✌️
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(Spoilers) The controls are pretty bad even with controller. throughout the game Jodie would constantly get stuck on things and walk in place for a couple seconds. The fact that there weren't icons telling which way to move made the QTE's annoying during fights. The 'gameplay' was mind-numbingly tedious and boring with you just wandering around looking for stuff to interact with or for Aiden to interact with. It hardly ever felt thrilling or entertaining for Aiden to mess with things besides…

A mysterious entity connected to her since childhood. Secret experiments. Scientists trying to understand the nature of the supernatural. The government. Strange phenomena. And the feeling that there's something much bigger behind it all. And now, let me remind you: Beyond: Two Souls —2013 Stranger Things — 2016 I'm NOT saying that Stranger Things was based on this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I paid for this game legitimately on Steam as part of the Quantic Dream bundle, and I regret it. The game contains a game-breaking bug that has existed for over 13 years, with documented reports going back to old forum threads and still affecting players today. I followed official and community troubleshooting steps, nothing works. This is not a new issue, and it’s not user error. It’s developer neglect. What makes this even worse is that I cannot refund the game because it was purchased as…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautifully executed game, tho we can make different choices throught the game i think most of them don´t really change the story much (except for when we choose to save some characters) but that doesnt make the story any less beautiful. As a BIG fan of story games i would totally recomend this one to those who are looking for a game with a story that will touch your heart. Although it would be interesting if the players choices would reflect a bit more in the game. Overall this game is an 8/10…
