    Very good. The story and the characters are very original. The pacing and the moving throughout different timelines is done.

    Este juego me ha gustado bastante. Me enganchó desde el principio y me ha parecido que tiene una historia mas o menos bien enlazada y sobre todo muy entretenida, con momentos de terror y momentos de felicidad. Haberlo jugado en desorden cronológico ha hecho que mi experiencia sea mucho mejor.

Haberlo jugado en desorden cronológico ha hecho que mi experiencia sea mucho mejor. Aun así este juego tiene sus carencias como la escasa jugabilidad o la mediocre narrativa de algunas partes. Técnicamente funciona bastante bien y lo recomiendo si quieres ver una "película interactiva". 7,7/10

    Almost a 10 to me. Spectacular acting from everyone involved especially Ellen Page. Great looking game with a great story too. I’d recommend this game to everyone with a gaming station. Beyond Two Souls is a “hell of a ride.”

    A wonderful game with a wonderful story and attractive characters, but a little nerve-wracking and sad

    Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a highly enjoyable action-adventure game featuring fluid parkour mechanics, an engaging story, and stunning visuals. It is a must-play for fans of the genre. but the story wasn't the greatest.

    Интересный сюжет и необычный геймплей. Игра как бы поделена на разные отрезки жизни героя, ты проходишь ее путь и раскрываешь тайну своих суперспособностей

    Jogo muito bom, com personagens carismáticos, jogar em modo cronológico melhora a experiência em 200%, apenas a mêcanica de controle da alma causa bastante estranheza.

    Le jeu est incroyable. L'histoire est géniale, les personnages sont bien écrits (pour la plupart...), le tout pour donner un jeu qui fait vivre de réelles émotions au joueur en lui faisant vivre une aventure unique. Pour moi, ce jeu est une œuvre d'art.

    Beyond is an emotional journey. I remember playing the game on PS3 almost 10 years ago, was really young could not connect to the game concepts, I even remember using Aiden to mess around with people, got them real scared just for the fun of it. 

    Since I recently experienced Detroit become human on PS5, felt like replaying another quantic dream classic, so I got the PS4 version of    Beyond is an emotional journey.

    Since I recently experienced Detroit become human on PS5, felt like replaying another quantic dream classic, so I got the PS4 version of Beyond. Not a remastered version, but it has son graphics upgrades that help avoid make the game feel too old. Too bad they could not get it to run at 1080p 60FPS on PS4.

    The experience was great! A solid 10 for me. There are a few things that felt off: in Detroit every combat interaction prompt that you don't get right will lead the scene into a different direction, but in Beyond it's just for the fun of pressing buttons while you watch the cutscenes. There are no consequences for not getting it right, the scene will flow in the same direction regardless of what you do. Also, the game makes you feel as if every choice you make has an impact, showing you a chart with the decisions you made.  But It's for nothing, the story is linear and there is no way for you to change the course of events, so it's all show for nothing. The only thing you can do is choose between life or death at the end. 

    Regardless, the experience was unique for me, so it's still a solid 10.  Quantic dream raised the bar capturing emotions with Mocap and making you feel the characters emotions. Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe have raised the bar regarding what an actor can do to perform the characters in a way that feel human and authentic in a video game.     … Expand

    A great story and a great game in general. Only problem was the controls and sometimes the camera was a pain

The only thing I didn't like was the gameplay that in many moments was kind of stuck, but apart from that it's perfect.… Expand

    This game is more exciting and deep than Detroit. Wish there is a sequel. The actors gave their 200%. The only downside is the clumsy control - i would replay it if its fixed

    Интересная и захватывающая игра, с динамично меняющимся сюжетом. Жаль, что игра явно не на двоих, как написано в описании. 2й игрок 90% времени наблюдает за первым игроком.

    Хорошая игра, отличный сюжет, но у меня были завышены ожидания и не понравилась концовка в духе третьего масс эффекта. Я могу рекомендовать игру всем любителям игро-фильмов, так как контент в целом больше чем качественный, почти идеальный, пусть и линейный.Хорошая игра, отличный сюжет, но у меня были завышены ожидания и не понравилась концовка в духе третьего масс эффекта.

    This is an absolutely stunning game visually with fantastic acting and story. Even 8 years later this game looks great. I have played this game multiple times. Would HIGHLY recommend if you’re into heavily story driven games (or works of art in the case of this game). Would recommend playing on PC with controller.

    For me the most important feature of this remaster is the inclusion of the optional chronological mode. It makes the story a bit less flashy but way easier to comprehend. [01/2016, p.65]

    Shaky at second glance, but deserves the PS4 promotion. Remix mode and stats screens provide a fresh way into Jodie's story, should you revisit it. [Jan 2016, p.95]

    Beyond: Two Souls would've fared a lot better if it had even more visual detail, other control options and extra content to make it more like a director's cut. As it stands, though, it's a great conversion of a pretty good Quantic Dream development, mind its storytelling issues and quick-time event gameplay. Plus, it won't kill your wallet being priced for only $30. That's something even invisible deities can appreciate.
