    Даже не знаю что написать... Прошел эту игру сегодня и возможно я на эмоциях, но эта игра - шедевр. Всё здесь хорошо - сюжет, геймплей, графика. Игра не проседала ни в одном моменте, я бы даже сказал она не проседала вообще. Наверняка лучшая игра для покупки сейчас если вам не во что играть.Даже не знаю что написать...

    Although gameplay sometimes can be a little titing in pc, this game deserves a 10. This is not a game, this is art. This is a masterpiece. Thanks quantic dreams for this game. Now I will try Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human.

    I love the games from Quantic Dream. And even if there is not a lot of gameplay in the game. And some of the plot twists are pretty naive. But Quantic Dream makes the best interactive films.

    At first, sorry for my bad English. Im trying without translator :)
    Story, soundtrack is awesome. Story is what I love in this game so much. Its one of the games when I... actually cried at some moment. Well only games when i cried at all was Unravel, Detroit, Bioshock Infinite, Journey and may be something else.
    Visual is ok for 2020, its 2013 game anyway, but i think for 2013 it was    At first, sorry for my bad English. Im trying without translator :)

    Visual is ok for 2020, its 2013 game anyway, but i think for 2013 it was cool graphics.
    Only thing i dont like in this game is game mode choosing (from noob to "normal" player). Tbh "normal" mode seems like hardmode bcs its QTE without hints at all (i cant explain it clearly but u can try in demo version for example). And the main problem with that is controlling Aiden. You can free control him (WASD and u can go whenever you want) only in normal mode . But in "noob" mode you are moving only from dot to dot (or from point to point. idk how to say it correctly) by mouse so its not free)
    And also the second tiny problem is letterboxing. May be for someone its huge and annoying problem. Around 40% of screen is just black only to let players feel like its film. I dont like it but im used to.
    Anyway u can patch it and remove letterboxing. I`d want to see some official patches for PC to let players remove it. They can just add the option.    … Expand

    Интересная завязка, и не менее интересная развязка, прекрасные диалоги, анимации лиц, неподдельное сопереживание персонажам.
    Игра на 10 часов, но это одно обычное прохождение.
    Много концовок, все имеют место быть. Рекомендую к покупке, Дэвиду Кейджу ставлю лайк.    Интересная завязка, и не менее интересная развязка, прекрасные диалоги, анимации лиц, неподдельное сопереживание персонажам.

    RECENSIONE (ITALIAN):
    Ho giocato a Beyond Two Souls su PC, non molto tempo dopo rispetto ad Heavy Rain. Nonostante la critica abbia valutato piuttosto male questo gioco, lo ritengo invece superiore al predecessore sotto molti punti di vista.

    Ho giocato a Beyond Two Souls su PC, non molto tempo dopo rispetto ad Heavy Rain. Nonostante la critica abbia valutato piuttosto male questo gioco, lo ritengo invece superiore al predecessore sotto molti punti di vista.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Come già detto l'ho giocato su PC, quindi alla massima qualità possibile.
    L'audio è eccezionale, sia come colonna sonora che come doppiaggio (anche in italiano e piuttosto valido, nonostante sia mixato non benissimo).

    Anche il comparto grafico è buono, ma ha diversi difetti evitabili secondo me.
    Come in Heavy Rain mancano un po' di ombre che renderebbero più credibile la scena (soprattutto quelle sotto i personaggi, che a volte sembrano volare).

    Altro problema piuttosto grave sono i tagli e passaggi tra le scene, a volte fatti davvero male al punto di creare situazioni non realistiche e "sospendere l'illusione".
    A volte ci sono anche piccoli "freeze" nei punti in cui ci potrebbero essere biforcazioni della storia.

    Infine, se i volti e le loro animazioni sono davvero ottimi (grazie al motion capture) devo anche far notare come a volte le espressioni ritornino di colpo neutre sul finire delle cut scene, rompendo anche in questo caso la magia.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Il gameplay base non è molto diverso dal precedente titolo di Quantic Dream, così come da molti altri giochi del genere.

    La telecamera è spesso ferma e decentrata, per creare inquadrature cinematografiche, ma questo porta ad avere pochissima precisione nei movimenti (anche a causa di controlli poco responsivi). A differenza di Heavy Rain inoltre non è possibile alternare la telecamera tra due posizioni, rendendo l'esplorazione di certi ambienti piuttosto difficoltosa.
    Non sono gestiti molto bene neanche i movimenti che utilizzano mezzi di trasporto, di qualunque tipo siano, perchè questi sembrano volare.

    Se il movimento è molto classico, con i difetti che comporta, le fasi di azione invece sono state abbastanza rinnovate.
    In Heavy Rain molte azioni erano legate ad uno specifico movimento dell'analogico. Qui invece tutto è indicato da puntini e dovremo solo puntare l'analogico in quella direzione per eseguire l'azione. Si perde un po' l'immersione ma è molto più comodo.
    Rinnovati anche alcuni quick time events, che sfruttano delle scene rallentate per farti decidere in che direzione spostare Jodie, senza comandi a schermo. La trovo una buona idea perchè rende un po' meno guidato il gioco.

    Inoltre gestito davvero bene Aiden, lo spirito controllato dalla protagonista, con molte abilità e la possibilità di passare da un personaggio all'altro in qualunque momento. Ho letto che alla difficoltà più bassa questo sia semplificato nei controlli, per cui consiglio di giocare alla difficoltà maggiore per avere il movimento libero (e non ho trovato difficile alcuna sezione del gioco).

    Un altro difetto è che, a differenza del precedente titolo della software house, non si può morire e quindi ogni situazione pericolosa è vissuta troppo con leggerezza.

    STORIA:
    Heavy Rain aveva una storia convincente ma con anche alcune incongruenze e situazioni non spiegate (e non spiegabili).

    La trama di Beyond secondo me parte da premesse nettamente migliori e ho adorato il fatto che sia raccontata in ordine non cronologico (anche se è possibile scegliere che questo non sia fatto).
    Ho trovato però debole e un po' confuso il finale, con alcune situazioni non molto credibili e una ricerca esagerata della spettacolarizzazione delle scene.

    Per il resto la storia l'ho trovata abbastanza coerente, sono pochi i punti in cui qualcosa non mi tornava (ad un primo sguardo per lo meno).

    Infine vorrei parlare dei personaggi. A parte la presenza di due attori famosi come Ellen Page e Willem Dafoe, ogni personaggio risulta abbastanza ben caratterizzato e approfondito, salvo uno che risulta un po' anonimo per la sua rilevanza ai fini della trama.

    In conclusione, secondo me Beyond Two Souls non è mediocre come viene descritto. Ha dei difetti ma per quanto dura (circa 10 ore per finirlo una volta) e per l'empatia che è in grado di creare la storia, penso che debba essere provato dagli amanti del genere.
    Non mi sento di consigliarlo a chiunque ma appunto più per lo stile di gioco che per la sua qualità, penso anzi che magari potrebbe essere apprezzato anche dai non videogiocatori.

    Good story despite a few of the scenes don't make sense, nice graphics, the controls are janky though. Sometimes the character is very hard to control, it bumps to the wall or refuses to turn into a different direction. The movement can be a bit faster during progressing the story imo.

    First of all, This game was Bought and played through Epic Games.

    I found playing this game to be very fun. The controls seem to be made for a console game, not a PC game. Considering it got released 2013 on PS3 i can't blame this on the game as this is developed as a console game. But this is a minor issue, that will not cause any major issues when playing the game.

    The story was fun and interesting, And the gameplay was alright being a Console game ported to PC. I did encounter a few frame rate drops and some graphical issues, but not that often. I would recommend this game!

    "8/10 – Great.
    A very good product.
    These games leave me with something outstanding to remember them by, ideas for single-player or multiplayer, clever characters and writing, noteworthy graphics and sound, or some combination thereof. If we have complaints, there are more than enough excellent qualities to cancel them out."

    I have had high expectations for this game and I must say that it could have been better. I haven't played "Detroit: Become Human" yet but the "Heavy Rain" was better than this one. In the end, it's just an 8/10 game for me. 14hrs on record.

    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.
