    This game is really a masterpiece. The performance of Ellen Page, music, story, art management, director is extraordinary. Many times during the game my eyes filled with tears. These kinds of productions definitely need to proliferate. If possible, the continuation of this game should come.

    I can't call this masterpiece a game this is EXPERIENCE! Experience that is guilty to avoid one of the greatest artwork of gaming art. I'm 41 years old man and I was crying like a baby few times during this amazing story. Beyond: Two Souls is the must have piece of art for people with brains and sense.

    I think this remastered version is much better than the original in the aspects of timeline, game functons, graphics, etc. If you have PS4, you should play it whether you buy it or borrow it.

    Excellent game.

    This is my first review in Metacritic. I feel obliged to give this game some credit, i can understand is not a game for everyone but through it all is a fantastic experience. Like being submerged in a movie, knowing every action you take is actually going to be of consequence. Sometimes regretting not having the chance to comeback, or acknowledging you could have done    Excellent game.

Sometimes regretting not having the chance to comeback, or acknowledging you could have done more or act differently. The visuals are great, the acting superb (if you have Ellen and Dafoe what can you expect!).

    I don't wanna to give any spoilers, just want to recommend it to the ppl out there. Is been a long time since was out, so is very cheap and i think is a very good investment quality-price wise.

    Perfection. An absolutely captivating story, great development for the characters, and fun/interesting gameplay. Not to mention that it's easily one of the best looking games this generation, despite being "just a remaster." An absolute must play.

    Love it. Love it. Love it.

    From what I've read its either "I hate it" or "I love it" and for me I can definitely say: I love it! Its one of the best games I ever played. I still can't decide if "The Last of Us" has the best story or "Beyond: Two Souls". I think due to this story its even better than "Heavy Rain". Don't get me wrong "Heavy Rain" was awesome but "Beyond: Two Souls" takes    Love it. Love it. Love it.

    I think due to this story its even better than "Heavy Rain". Don't get me wrong "Heavy Rain" was awesome but "Beyond: Two Souls" takes it to another universe. I sincerely hope "Beyond: Two Souls" will have a remastered version for whatever console we will have in 50 years because it would be a shame to miss this title in the future!

    Thank you "trumstah" for the following words I could not have expressed my feelings better:
    !!! To the people behind this emotional tycoon that instantly makes you reminisce your time spent in the world upon completion. I applaud you. I respect you. I urge you, bring us back to this world. I truly hope that I can revisit this landscape someday. Thank you for giving me this experience. !!!

    Both Heavy Rain and this game are absolutely awesome. I preferred HR slightly more, but boy do the people at Quantic Dreams know how to make a game! All the finer details that gamers complain about of games today cannot be said of these two. Instant classics of mine that should really have rated higher by critics.

    + Acting and actors: Ellen Paige and Willem Dafoe, while their acting is created by computer scripts and imagining, its still great.
    + Characters: Great characters background, great division of villians and protagonists.

    Very long time I tried to find some negatives, but I could not. Probably only negative is that B:TS was originally released on PS3 and David Cage did not before released on PS3 Detroit: Become Human. I am following David Cage work since Fahrenheit and I think B:TS is his opus magnum and no other game story he will create will be able to overcome B:TS. I think in this sense, B:TS is his curse, as it is seen on case of Detroit: Become Human which I gave only 7/10 score.
    I fully recommend this game to everyone!
    PS: Maybe I found one negative, movements of player character is a bit annoying.    … Expand

It is the most professional looking game I've ever seen and what a great pile of mini stories that all role up in to one big story. The overall score on this is criminal. It is a gaming masterpiece. It was great to see the making of videos after I played it too, the production effort really shows. Don't spoil it by watching things on it, just play it. Get PS Now for a month, you will get 3 nights out of this and then you have 200 games left to get your claws in to as well.

    It's been 7 years and I have finally touched that masterpiece. After playing RDR2 or Witcher III , I didn't think anything could make me so touched with the story. Yes , there are some problems with repetitive gameplay and poor game design, however the story just takes in on the BEYOND level!

    Picked this game up with the Box set, had Beyond: Two Souls, Heavy Rain, and Detroit: Become Human. This was the first one I decided to play and I am so blown away by the story telling, the acting, the graphics. It is a true master piece for sure. Can not wait to get into Heavy Rain and Detroit as well. I hope they are on the same level as this game.

    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.
