Beyond: Two Souls Game Review

Beyond: Two Souls, is way more than some other big budgeted video game that are recently available. It brings to the gamer the most thrills that other video games are capable of offering to online gamers. A remarkably sophisticated creation of writing, story design, international collaboration, technological achievement and motion-capture, Beyond: Two Souls demonstrates the gaming consumers what online games can achieve creatively once they touch and push the button. Yes, you can find some complaints about Beyond, but the way it tries to convey to a story via a video game, specifically in the production value and the maturity it is presented in such kind of a medium is simply amazing. Actively playing the video game is like looking through the crystal ball way beyond the future of endless possibilities.


The idea of the video game virtually drips potential: it tells the story of a youthful woman named Jodie, who is bound to a spirit from other dimension whose name is Aiden. The 2 are associated since Jodie was still a little lady. She's the sole human being with this kind of connection, and her whole life is one kind of probing, prodding, exploitation and experimentation with Aiden to enhance her very own human skills and characteristics. When playing the game, your history as Jodie will be a lifelong search for joy, seeking for somebody that can provide you with love and company.

Beyond: Two Souls is mainly a motion picture that provides excitement and counters the storyline. Willem Dafoe and Ellen Page play the 2 main characters Nathan and Jodie, and although in the right of their own, they are both extraordinary actors, their effectiveness together in Beyond seems somewhat ill composed. Page is normally cast as a Calmer, gentler personality in motion pictures, which is clear in her playing the role of Jodie. Her more relaxed stance is effective in many areas of the game. However the more emotionally charged moments have problems translating owing to it. This could have been filled in by actors with more dynamic technique, yet the calm temperament of Willem Dafoe ensures that there's no chemistry at all regarding the 2 main characters in the game. Defoe and Page's chemistry aside, Jodie as a persona has the ability to form connection with the other figures in the video game. One specific moment entails a comparatively minor character but brings among the most effective moments in Beyond.

Among Beyond's more revolutionary elements is the method by which it handles the failure situations. You cannot die in this video game but rather, and it is one thing that you will not know till the end. In each small thing that you "failed" at basically has this fascinating butterfly effect that morphs Jodie's journey through existence. You will not know each time a very simple choice can be so impacting, many years later on in the story as well as to whom you can fall deeply in love with. This is among the most remarkable components of Beyond: how it effortlessly edits collectively its segments of the story. You can even think that the storyline is completely linear, until you speak with somebody concerning his knowledge about the game. Your entire choices catapult Jodie along a journey that's so loaded with details. You will be amazed of the possibilities and development as you thread on its storyline.

Thankfully, due to the way Beyond is organized, replaying parts to get a unique outcome is not that time-consuming. It is due in part, of the minimum game play involved with Beyond. Actions are divided among the two main characters: Aiden and Jodie. If you have enjoyed Heavy Rain, then you will know about the motion mechanics of Jodie. They have been enhanced here. You will not find yourself in trouble moving on edges or abruptly have a very wide rotating radius, so when you change the directions of motion it seems very organic. Jodie's movements, nevertheless, take time and effort to master. Interaction with the entire world is tough, as contextual hints do not do a good job at directing you to exactly where you have to go. The thing is,  you will not completely understand what path you should decide to thread and you will spend the whole game merely moving the thumb stick at random till Jodie ultimately does what you wish her to do.

Even if this video game is filled with creativity, the plot is heavy-handed, which inevitably implies that you will want to hold disbelief and totally invest in the story line to discover the most from the game. Forgive its imperfections and Beyond: Two Souls provides you with a really unique story-telling encounter that you'll cannot easily find anywhere else.
