    Despite its excellent graphics and animations, Beyond Eyes is just a piece of software; one that feels more like a technical demo than a game, properly speaking.

    If you're anything like me, you'll feel a little rotten for hating on it, but dull is dull — and Beyond Eyes is nothing if not very, very dull indeed.

    Beyond Eyes is an art showcase – beautiful to behold, undoubtedly – but I dreaded the majority of my time playing it. Unless you need to know what happens to a stray cat, don’t feel guilty for keeping Beyond Eyes in your blind spot.

    There really just needed to be more of everything: more story, more to do, and more reasons to do it. With such a beautiful art style and such a unique character Beyond Eyes had a chance to be something really special but instead it just feels like walking past a beautiful painting, as it is over in the blink of an eye.

    We didn't expect much from Beyond Eyes and the short two hours we needed to complete the game proved us right. From an artistic point of view, the game is quite seducing but there are so few things to do there that it quickly becomes boring.

    Yes, this game is "Pretty" and "Creative" but if you ignore those things, this game is just bad. I played for about half an hour and I couldn't go on.

    OMG this is, by far, the worst game I have ever played in my entire life. And I played the original Atari 2600 ET game, so I don't say thisOMG this is, by far, the worst game I have ever played in my entire life. And I played the original Atari 2600 ET game, so I don't say this lightly. At least ET could walk relatively fast. Basically all you do in this game is walk. SLOWLY. You walk SO SLOWLY in random directions, eventually reaching the current objective (whether it be a gate, a bridge, a crosswalk, some butterflies, etc.). In fact watch any youtube video of it, they speed the game up 400% just so viewers won't gouge their eyes out watching.

    I'm convinced any positive reviews of this game is the latest version of "Rick Rolling" somebody. I've renamed this tactic "Rae Rolling" (the girls name in the game). It goes like this. Person 1: "Hey man, just played this awesome new game Beyond Eyes. You should play it!" Person 2: "Cool. Looks interesting. Heres my $15....WHAT THE?!?!?!?!" Person 1: "AHAHAHAH!! Rae Rolled!!!"

    In fact the latest way I like to annoy my family is to walk around the house as slow as I can, occasionally yelling out "Nani!" Believe me, drives my family crazy just like it drove me crazy playing this game.
    And no, there is no surprise ending. Ending is obvious I knew how it would end midway through the game (not "spoiling" it but it is obvious). Whatever you do, do not play this game if you value your sanity. Or, maybe I'll be hip and Rae Roll you. Go ahead and play! It's AWESEOME!!!    … Full Review »

    It looks cute and the story was intriguing but the slow paced killed me. I played this for an hour and I simply cannot play it anymore. TheIt looks cute and the story was intriguing but the slow paced killed me. I played this for an hour and I simply cannot play it anymore. The only reason you really need to play this is you can finish it and earn all the achievement in around three to four hours which would be a lot quicker if it doesn't take Rae 15 minutes to get from one side of the bridge to the other.. This and Overruled! serve as massive stains in Team 17's library.… Full Review »
