Fantastic Story, Horrible Gameplay.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

First of all, this game is gorgeous and has a fantastic story with a ton of heart. The voice acting really got me imvested in the characters and carried the story really well. Ellen Page in particular gave a phenomenal performance. A few moments of the story didn't make sense or were cliche, but this was rare. Over all they blended horror, drama, and supernatural adventure well.
The gameplay drags the game down unfortunately. You interact with various items/people using the right analog stick or sometimes by using the motion controlls on your controller. (Which reminds me, you can't play this game with many knockoff controllers or with a ps2 controller). A lot of the time, your interactions are very mundane. At one point you make diner for your date, shower, and clean your apartment (Thrilling, I know). Descison making is limited, and doesn't impact the ending much.
Overall, I got this game pretty cheap, so it was worth it to see this awesome story unfold. I probably would have preferred it as a movie.

Great story and graphics, minimal gameplay

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

I like to play games that are more story-driven than the usual FPS's or RPG's, and this game is purely for players who are looking for that experience. Let me get the cons out first -- the 'gaming' challenge is non-existent, and so is replayability. Do not buy this 'game' if you're looking for a traditional shoot-em-up game that studios crank out every year.

'Beyond' is more of a 15-hour animated story where you control the main character. The story, mo-cap and voice acting are all top-notch, although some of the world-building props (trees/scenery) were sub-par. You can tell most of the budget went to accurately capturing Ellen Page's face. The game did get stuck on one scene (second CIA mission) and I had to restart the mission.

The pacing of the game and the timeline jumps are well thought out. Although the post-climactic cut-scenes seemed to be added on haphazardly, the overall story arc was convincing. The identity of Aiden, when it arrives, is not much of a revelation as this has been done before in movies. I'm not a big fan of supernatural stories, hence I found the emotional impact lessened compared to 'The Last of Us', 'Heavy Rain', or even 'Red Dead Redemption'.

Overall, such games need to be encouraged and purchased if only to break the stranglehold of titles with big-men-with-bigger-weapons-shooting-each-other is to be broken. Quantic Dream is one of those studios trying to buck the well-worn trend and I will buy their next title if the experience is similar or better than 'Beyond: Two Souls'.

Graphics are PS4 worthy

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

The game is simple, the exact same setup as Heavy Rain, and able to be completed, conservatively, in a weekend. The game is captivating and always changing as it jumps along your story line throughout play. Paying $16 for this was a decent price and I'm OK with that, but what makes this 5 stars for me is that it's the most vivid, graphically stunning PS3 game I've ever played. May sound exaggerated, but there are scenes where you watch it and wonder if you magically just got a PS4. This game is coming out for PS4, but doesn't need to b/c the graphics are already comparable. The level of detail in faces & environments will have you wanting more and shaking your head at some moments when you wonder how this game is so beautiful!

If you can rent this game instead, do it, but keep in mind that you can always play this again and take a different story line based on your in-game decisions. Definitely a replayable game, and stunningly beautiful.

Old School Gamer

A storytelling achievement in gaming.

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

I've been a gamer for 25+ years and I am one of the few ready for what gaming can become. Thanks to the interactivity of the medium, this art form has the potential to connect a story with the viewer more than any other medium in existence. This potential is largely untapped and, for many, unwanted. For the gamers who almost exclusively enjoy titles like Gears of War or GTA or Call of Duty, they don't want what Beyond: Two Souls strives to be. But for those of us who appreciate it for what it is, it's a technical and emotional marvel.

Heavy Rain was a magnificent game. It received a lot of flack for the "playing a movie" aspect where there wasn't much in the way of typical gameplay, but mostly from gamers, not critics. As with many of the best movies in the history of film, the professionals appreciated it while the normals did not as much. It found its audience, people like myself, and succeeded but it was always destined to divide the masses.

This game suffers from the same exact scenario. In a year that has seen dynamic games like The Last of Us(still my choice for GotY) and Bioshock: Inifinite(runner up for GotY alongside Beyond IMHO), we are also getting the obviously stupendous titles like GTA. GTA has set records because, let's be honest here, the masses want GTA. But for those of us who love stories in our games, for those of us who appreciate writers who dare us to be compelled by the characters we play as, for those few who truly want to see where this wonderful pastime will evolve there is Beyond: Two Souls. The game is effectively standing up in a crowd of look-a-likes who are content to excel at the gameplay but not the art form. Quantic Dream desires the latter and this game succeeds on all counts.

If you played Heavy Rain and enjoyed it in any way at all, this game is exactly the same. If you didn't like Heavy Rain because of the lack of gameplay, then don't buy Beyond. This is a very simple guideline. It is a characteristic of the insane to try the same thing twice expecting different results. Quantic Dream does one thing and they do it with unabashed fervor. I daresay Beyond features slightly less gameplay than Heavy Rain. While there is "combat" and gunplay in this title, it is still in the form of quicktime events and exceedingly scripted. Heavy Rain had a lot more of the "puzzle" feel in that you needed to discover more in the environment in order to move on or make certain events occur to get the desired outcome in the story. This game is much more about the storytelling using the gameplay as a mechanism than the other way around.

Here's the caveat with this type of game. If you come in expecting to be wowed by the gameplay mechanics, then you're in it for the wrong reason and miss the point of its existence. If you pop the disc in and are immediately drawn to Jodie(played by Ellen Page) and her plight, then you will never even notice the lack of gameplay. As I've aged I can usually rate a games storytelling pretty early on. I'm a big JRPG fanatic and long gone are the days when I would read every dialogue box in FFVI. Very few stories pull us in that way anymore. This is why the ones like Bioshock or TLoU stand out so, because they tell stories more interactively and realize they need to use the medium in its own, truly unique way. Quantic Dream gets this as well. When you combine real actors, probably the most amazing animation this generation(LA Noire is the only game that's come this close to perfect representations of facial animation), and Hollywood class musical scoring, you have the perfect recipe for abstract connection. I desperately want the soundtrack to this game it is that good. It's on par with almost any movie I've ever seen and at times sends chills right down my spine.

At no point in my experience with this game did I ever concern myself with how little or in what form I was playing this game. The story is compelling to the nth degree and I was enthralled all the way to the end. I nearly cried at the end to be honest. So much of this story is heartfelt and emotional, perhaps none moreso than the ending(no matter how you choose to end it). I've hardly ever walked away from an experience feeling as rewarded as I do after buying this game. I don't put a value on the amount of time I spent playing it. I put a value on how long the story and characters will stick with me, which is for the rest of my life.

Please don't buy this game if you're not open to the idea of what it is trying to be. Quantic Dream wants us to experience story in the most profound way possible and they succeed without error, but only if you are able to let go of your preconceptions on what a video game should be. There is no crime in being different and this game is but one title in a sea of thousands that can satiate your hunger for gameplay. If you love well told stories and truly cinematic, jaw-dropping experiences then give this game a chance. I promise that those with an open mind will find something to applaud.

¡Excelente!

Reviewed in Mexico on August 8, 2021

El videojuego llegó en perfectas condiciones.

Al momento de escribir esta reseña, aún no lo termino, pero tengo que decir que no me ha causado ningún problema funcional.

Los gráficos son buenos para su generación, y la historia es inusual, la cuál ya ha cautivado completamente mi atención. Sin embargo, he de añadir que el gameplay y la historia puede resultar un punto negativo para varios jugadores, en especial para aquellos que disfrutan más de títulos de shooters o de aventura frenética; para quienes son más impasibles ante la diversidad de géneros, creo que lo pueden disfrutar bastante.

La caja venía en perfectas condiciones y por el precio creo que vale la pena, ya que es igual o más barato que en los tiempos en que salió al mercado, y eso no es común encontrarlo en un videojuego que salió hace años ya que suelen venderlo por tres veces su valor y eso si llegas a conseguirlo sin que sea usado.

En fin, ¡Completamente satisfecho con la compra!

Just like Heavy Rain before it, David Cage once again proves that he has no idea what the hell he's doing in film or video games. He has no idea that video games are first and foremost about 3 words. Gameplay, gameplay and gameplay. The rest is icing on the cake.

This game was nothing like what I expected it would be when I bought it... which turned out to be a GOOD thing. I was totally blown away with the graphics, and especially the story. I loved everything about this game from start to finish. If I was forced to try and point out one flaw, it would be the seemingly jumbled way that the story sequences are told and played, jumping back and forth through the timeline. Even this however, once you get further in the game, you realize is an excellent aspect of the game as it helps keep you guessing and in the long run lets you better understand the varying twists, turns, and levels of comprehension this game delivers.

Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2014

this was an interesting game, I played it half way, then it got repetitive, so ended up giving it away before completing, ended up being too much storyline and not enough game play, good for a younger audience, you cant die in the game it just changes the ending if you make a mistake.
