    The engaging story, wonderfully unique style and pitch-perfect adventuring make this a game that everyone should play at one point in their lives and this 20th Anniversary edition is the best way to do it. If it is your first time, you are in for a treat and if you are returning to old friends…well you know what you are getting.

    Don’t miss out on Beyond Good & Evil. It’s a great game that deserves to be played, and while I do have issues, some of which are not inherent to the game (like requiring Ubisoft Connect), it is well worth the price.

    This slightly graphically improved re-release of the classic demonstrates that Beyond Good & Evil – a game where despite many crazy adventures your main weapon is your camera – can still evoke emotions, be appealing and stand out against much younger titles.

    The brave 2000s were a completely different period in videogame history. Franchising started to reach enormous heights and unknown players such as Beyond Good and Evil had unfortunately gone unnoticed. However, this inventive title slowly gained a cult following, and now after 20 years, its Anniversary Edition is hand-delivering a truly passionate love letter to all fans! This game was ahead of its time and once again shines thanks to updated visuals, better performance, and wholesome bonus content.

    Ubisoft dusts off its 2003 cult game for the second time with a successful Anniversary Edition. The game has never been a masterpiece, but it still entertains today as it did 21 years ago.
  6. Beyond Good & Evil offers a unique experience by combining many elements such as photography mechanics, melee combat, vehicle racing, code-breaking and world exploration. It's true that the game has aged in many ways, but the positives far outweigh the negatives.

    Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition is a journey into the past that turns out to be surprisingly enjoyable, thanks to a remastering job that goes beyond the usual standards and some minor attention also aimed at controls and gameplay.
