    Как ненавидел Heavy Rain, так и полюбил Beyond Two Souls. Оказалось, упрощенная манипуляция и блокбастерский сюжет - то что нужно. Игра Эллен Пейдж достойна похвал, отчаяние в ее голосе пробирает.

    Absolute disgrace having this game rated so low. The story is just amazing! Insane graphics aswell (cant belive it was remasterd back in 2015).

This game also has different ways to play through this game, but I defenetly prefer the original, thats how the game was meant to be played and how the story reveals itself is so perfect. The game also has 24 different endings so make sure you do your best. Also it was done in motion capture, so all the movement is so smooth. Also brilliant acting from Ellen Page, Willem Dafoe and others. What a game 11/10.… Expand

It was one of the few games I've played that left me with a feeling of emptiness after it was done due to how attached I became with the characters and wanting to see them more.

    FINAL VERDICT: 8.5

    The only thing I can fault the game for is gameplay. Quick-time events can be confusing when you have to dodge or attack enemies with Jodie. Also interacting with objects is a bit awkward in regards to the controls.

    Besides the funky gameplay everything else the game has to offer is great! If you decide to play Beyond: Two Souls, which I hope you do, you'll get your enjoyment from the narrative aspect of the game.    … Expand

    Summary:
    A fascinating mess!

    The Good:
    + Great Visuals.
    + Great premise.
    + Well- acted.
    + Lots of variety in tone and setting.
    + Makes use of Sixaxis and touchscreen controls.

    The Bad:
    - Disjointed plot.
    - Superficial choices.
    - Arbitrary limitations on ghost powers.
    - Lack of interactivity.

    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. 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. 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simplemente magnífico, en lo personal jugué el juego por allá del 2017 y lo volví a jugar en PS4, es toda una experiencia, sin embargo los controles son un poco extraños teniendo en cuenta que jodie se limita a no correr cuando se vuelve aburrido solo caminar y caminar, además de que el manejo de la cámara con el joestick derecho es un tanto incómodo aveces, pero esto seria el único problema que le encontre.
    El juego es magnífico tiene una historia deprimente, desesperanzadora en ocasiones, y llena de acción, la historia es no lineal, es decir se completa con diferentes fragmentos de la vida de jodie que ayudan a entender porque está vinculada con una entidad y como fue su niñez etc, de todos modos el juego da la opción de jugarlo cronológicamente.

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.

    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.
