    While the visual presentation for the game is great and some of the character voice acting performances are top notch, unfortunately, the poor story and unlikable main character makes Quantic Dream's usual mundane "gameplay" unbearable to put up with.

    В общем целом, неплохое кинцо. Но это далеко не такой шедевр, как его тут многие описывают. Сюжет уж излишне прост, предсказуем, практически не удивляет, за исключением некоторых сцен. Да, местами есть сильные моменты, заставляют проникнуться. Но в остальном - едва ли игра запомнится мне чем-то, кроме отличного саундтрека.В общем целом, неплохое кинцо.

    Another work by David Cage, which I couldn't play on his original console (PS3), so being able to try it out on PS4 was ideal.

    I didn't really have any expectations, I'd already heard that it wasn't the best title and that's how it was. It's not that it's a bad game, but its development, and parts of the story feel loose and without weight in the plot.

    By the way, the PS4 version is graphically beautiful.    … Expand

    My very 1st ps4 game and platinum trophy. Nothing special here but it is a good game that platinum trophy requires a lot of patience because you have to play 2 or more playthroughs to get the trophy.

    I had very low expectations for this game, but I was surprised in a very positive way. I finished it in less than 72 hours, it was an interesting experience, the story is cool.

    I think this game is below average compared to other Quantic Dream games. I do not find the story setup right. A beautiful story has fallen victim to the way of telling.I'm sorry for my bad english :)

    Absolute disgrace having this game rated so low. The story is just amazing! Insane graphics aswell (cant belive it was remasterd back in 2015). Got the game free from Ps+ subscription and wasnt expecting a lot from only a average of 72 score, but that is so misleading.

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

    I played this game just recently (I know, right?) and wanted to share my opinions.I got it for free through PS+, so thank you Sony for that. The good things: Story (Remixed version), Graphics/visuals for 2013 year. The bad things: camera and controls, I hate the "drunk cam" or action-cam in many of scenes, completely unnecessary and should have had an option to be turned off in settings.I played this game just recently (I know, right?) and wanted to share my opinions.I got it for free through PS+, so thank you Sony for that.

Another downside is the LACK of settings. You dont have any quality/accessibility or disability controls, you cannot change anything gameplay related apart from "i never played/i played video games before" option, which is not helpful.
    Otherwise story is good, I did not like the "jumping timelines" aspect at all, it did not feel better than remixed version which is chronological. Cool game, hope to see more of it in future.    … Expand

    The only major drawback of the game is the low impact of the choices on the story, but on the other hand, it has so many good features that it can be ignored.

    На мой вкус лучше прочих двух: Heavy Rain и Detroit Become Human. Сразу бодро. В HR надо пережить первый час, чтобы стало интересно, в Detroit особо интересно не становится вообще, а тут ничего не надо ждать.

    Pretty boring since the controls were extremely dumbed down since Heavy Rain. The story is presented in a non linear way similar to pulp fiction but is filled with cliches from scary movies.

    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.
