    I am so disappointed how linear it is. You just can't make your decision and most of the time you must do reactions as developers thought you would like to do. If not there's no choice...

    Игра шедевр.
    Но играть не возможно на процессорах AMD FX, фризы и заедания звука каждые секунд 10.
    The game is a masterpiece.
    But it is not possible to play on AMD FX processors, friezes and jamming sound every second 10

Сцена с омоном вообще рофл, когда челики будто бы впервые в спецслужбах оказались, если увидите поймете весь абсурд той сцены. То они хотят ее убивать, то не хотят, снайпер стреляет в ноги, а потом исчезает , все действуют крайне медленно и непрофессионально, крч бред полный. В целом игра абсолютна скучная и предсказуемая, хотя деффкам подобная чушь заходит на ура.… Expand

    Very very bad control.

    Now for the story : awful. It's boring, unispired and downright ridiculous for some parts. The characters are stupid and unlikeable, expecially Jodie, the "twist" thing at the end is obvious, and one part of the game can be considered "filler" and is probably the worst chapter in the whole game.
    The only enjoyment i got from it is thanks to the friend i was playing the game with, and we were making fun of everything.
    It's not a good game, it's not smart, it's not emotional, it's nothing. I only got it cause it was in a bundle and even then i still feel like i got scammed. I do not recommend this game unless you're planning to mock it with a friend. I'm puzzled by the overwhelming number of good reviews, it's probably one of the worst game i've ever played cause it's so boring.    … Expand

    This game looks incredible. This game has some really compelling story moments. It's a shame that there is literally nothing else good about it.

    The gameplay is point-and-click updated with janky controls that don't work half the time. Seriously, this game is completely unplayable on mouse+keyboard, and playing on controller isn't much better. The game is basically just a "choose your own adventure" story since most of the scenes aren't fail-able in any meaningful way, meaning that the only way to lose them is by choice. The writing on it's own isn't much better, there are some very compelling characters and situations, but for every great moment or concept there's a scene that totally breaks any sort of immersion by having a major character say something stupid.

    From a design perspective, choosing to put a "choices matter" game into a disconnected timeline was an awful idea, since you're explicitly shown that your decisions CAN'T matter, you end up in the same place regardless. There was one scene in particular where they were trying to make it a big deal about "oh no, will she die?" but it's totally undercut by the fact that the prologue happens after it in-universe. And yes, they did add a new chronological mode to view the story but it doesn't actually change anything in terms of your choices not mattering and the prologue is still shown first.    … Expand

    Ruim, jogo ruim. A jogabilidade parece do primeiro Alone in The Dark. O jogo é focado em história, mas mesmo assim ela é ridícula!

    A very thoughtful, slow and immensely powerful testament to the question "Why does David Cage not make movies?". Because Hollywood learned from Uwe Böll. He will never get better. He will never not turn fantastic production values and great ideas into something that leaves you in the kind of angry coma that only David Cage can bring about.

    It controls like a video recorder, only that you have to press the buttons very long or very fast. If you do that enough, for many hours, you will have watched a student project short film stretched over 25 hours and filled with branching narratives with great twists like a character telling you that he told you so, instead of saying that you told him so.

    There is unfortunately no fast forward button, and thanks to digital distribution you will never have the satisfaction to take this bird, open the window and let it fly.

    Watch it falling, tumbling, have that impactful crunch when it hits the street. Listen to the sound of breaking plastic when a car drives over it. Watch the wind slowly spread the tape. Uninstalling and refunding it just doesn't give you the same pleasure.    … Expand

    Really bad history, very cliche, poor characters work. Your decisions doesn't affect the game at all, just small scenes and that's all.

The things you have to do with Aiden is repetitive and gets annoying at some point. i was really in a "poker face" playing it almost all of the playthrough.

    The good points it's have a really great acting, Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe were great, also the facial animations and the graphics still pretty nice in this version. The story got some good moments but, in a nutshell, very cliche and predictable.    … Expand

    This is not interesting story without your REAL Decisions. So it's the worst Cage's game.
    Final is not interesting, QTE is boring. Detroit is much much much better. Don't buy this game, you'll loase your money and time

    I really enjoyed Heavy Rain so i was like i gotta give this a try and oh boy it was a complete waste of time. In a game like this which offers no fun and engaging gameplay you at least expect the story to be good but beyond's story lacks any direction. There are sections of this game who contribute almost nothing to the story and can be deleted entirely for example Navajo chapter.

    The PC version of Beyond: Two Souls remains impressive despite its age, with a great cast, solid story but oversimplified gameplay. Despite its shortcomings, the PC port is the best version of the game by far, with support for 4K and ultrawide monitors, as well as 60 fps. This is best way to experience the game if you haven’t played it yet.

    Beyond Two Souls is at last available on PC, and with a more recent release than Heavy Rain, it looks gorgeous with 4K and 60 FPS. If you haven't yet finished the game on consoles, or haven't tried it yet, go for the PC version.
