Beyond Two Souls is a complicated game. It’s made by Quantic Dream, known for Heavy Rain, and tells the tale of a young girl with a ghost buddy, who she can control at times. This essentially gives her super powers, and the story sees her growing up in an abnormal environment. Such power obviously draws the eyes of government agencies, and her upbringing is mostly in their presence and under their influence. She soon sees herself embroiled in global politics, and this affects her everyday relationships.
It’s an interesting story, that doesn’t always hold up, but is worth seeing through regardless. Beyond Two Souls is an incredible looking game – the facial capture is top notch and the overall graphics are really sharp. If you like choice driven games, and are familiar with Quantic Dream’s previous work, then this is an easy recommendation.
Pros:
Interesting story
Looks great
Lots of choices
Excellent performances
Cons:
Some inconsistencies in the plot
Score – 7.5/10
