Jul 23, 2024This 20th-anniversary edition of Beyond Good & Evil dodges that trap by being genuinely entertaining, playable and polished over its relatively short running time. Maybe it’s the banter between Jade and Pey’j, perhaps it’s the restless diversity of its levels, or could it be just that Ancel packed his designs with myriad lovely touches.

Jun 25, 2024Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary really is the best way to play this classic cult title, bringing it up to date in terms of controls, resolutions and more.

Jun 25, 2024Beyond Good & Evil's 20th Anniversary Edition does a commendable job of freshening up an experience that had long aged out of its must-play status. Enhanced visuals that don't dull the original charm, welcome quality-of-life and control improvements and a nice smattering of extra content go a long way to making this a worthwhile revisit to Hillys.

Jun 30, 2024Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition is a real treat regardless of whether you’ve played the original release or not. The 2003 game’s visuals have received a gorgeous glow-up with improved textures, shadows, and lighting, and there’s a surprising amount of new content from unlockable cosmetics to an entirely new questline. This is simply one of the best remastering efforts we’ve seen in years and comes highly recommended at its sub-$20 / £20 price.

Jul 24, 2024Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition, with its improved audiovisual presentation and a handful of new content, successfully reminds us why this action-adventure became a cult classic.

Jun 25, 2024Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition is not only the definitive version of Jade's adventure, but a model for remastering games from that time with relevant improvements and extras that celebrate the historical legacy of those works. Some slow aspects have not aged well and remind us of how old this game is, but the charismatic adventure and the good use of the compact yet rather open world still deserve this well-kept return.
