   I found this game looking in the catalog of games that can be downloaded through my PS membership. For the most part I did not have any issuesI found this game looking in the catalog of games that can be downloaded through my PS membership. For the most part I did not have any issues with it but it was not a perfect game.
   
   Pros:great game play, excellent environments, well written characters, & excellent interaction as both main character & her friend.
   
   Cons:sub-par camera controls, sub-par rogue elements, and the main character is either crying or mad nearly the entire game really making it hard to like her, also way to reliant on QTE to progress the story.… Expand

   Beyond: Two Souls is a great but flawed and under-rated adventure sci-fi game. A great concept in theory which was badly executed.
   
   Beyond:Beyond: Two Souls is a great but flawed and under-rated adventure sci-fi game. A great concept in theory which was badly executed.
   
   Beyond: Two Souls is a choice-based, narrative-driven adventure game, where your choices affect the story and lead to multiple endings, just like all those Traveller's Tales games (The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, etc.). Some people will call it an "interactive movie" but they'd be wrong. This game is intended to be experienced by both gamers and non-gamers, so it lacks any real challenge or traditional videogame action.
   
   The game's story on the original PS3 version was presented in a non-linear way, where events were shown with many backs and forths through time, so people may have been confused back then. On PS4 you have the option to watch the story unfold in a chronological way, and I believe this is the way new players should experience it.
   
   The game tells the life story of protagonist Jodie Holmes (portrayed by Ellen Page), who's a really likeable and sympathetic character. Jodie has suffered a hard life because she has been linked with a ghost named Aiden since birth, which is both a gift and a curse. She has been raised by professor Nathan Dawkins (Willem Dafoe) and then her life journey becomes a crazy roller coaster. The plot has twists and turns, as well as high and low points, but I think David Cage (the game's writer and director) should have kept it more down to Earth. The "Homeless" chapter is beautiful and emotional, but when Jodie blowed a town up or was made to fight against supernatural beings, the script went the BS route. The overall plot is a sci-fi mess with many unrelated chapters being linked together with little or no transitioning, unfortunately.
   
   Gameplay is simplified compared to most games out there and QTEs are nothing like the mess of the developer's previous game Heavy Rain. Interactivity with the surroundings is severely limited though. Controls and the camera are problematic, but the game is slowly paced so the problem is almost non-existent. The ghost named Aiden provides some meaningful ways to interact with the environment and solve some light puzzles, but he's a lost opportunity because he's under-utilised by David Cage. Also Aiden's capabilities are very inconsistent, on one instance he can pass through walls and choke people, and on another it's not possible to do so, all due to the script. At least the game can be played in 2 player co-op, with one controlling Jodie and the other Aiden.
   
   Production values are very high for an adventure game like this, with Hollywood stars Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe starring in the lead roles. All the characters are rendered beautifully, at the expense of the environments though which feature noticeably low polygon counts and shadow pop-ins. The soundtrack is very good.
   
   All in all, Beyond: Two Souls was a failed experiment for David Cage and Quantic Dream. It proved to be a big mis-step after the success of Heavy Rain, but hopefully they have learnt from their mistakes since then.… Expand
