"It's guilty of both overbearing goofiness and unearned self-seriousness, yet Beyond: Two Souls is still easily Quantic Dream's most fully-realized game to date."

It’s an experience to enjoy, a moment to witness, to be there and be absorbed in fantastic acting, but a flawed plot

If we take a look in the Oxford Dictionary for the meaning of video game, we see that it’s defined as “ a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a monitor… Read more

BEYOND: Two Souls Review

I have been waiting for QuanticDream to release their next video game, after playing Heavy Rain I just had an itch that could only be scratch by the right type of game. So Beyond Two Souls came out ju… Read more

We need to talk about David

David Cage is not a very good writer. For all the efforts he has put in with Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain, and now Beyond: Two Souls, he seems incapable of delivering a consistent story that does justice to… Read more

I like this game.

It may not be as good as The Last Of Us, but Quantic Dream did a pretty good job on making this game epic as hell. But I think the ending might have been a tad bit better? I don't really know anymore.… Read more

If only it didn't have those supernatural elements...

Jodie Holmes isn’t your average woman. She has been tethered to a spiritual presence named Aiden since birth, a presence she has partial control over. That spirit can affect the world in a variety of… Read more

Improving on its predecessors in every way, Beyond takes Quantic Dream’s vision one step closer to the ultimate goal.

The commitment of Quantic Dream to make a game like this work is so admirable that it’s hard not to like Beyond: Two Souls. Even though there is plenty of variety to be found within the video game ind… Read more

Beyond: Two Souls--A breath of fresh air

Video games are maturing like never before. The “interactive drama” genre is growing ever popular, with games like The Walking Dead, Heavy Rain, and now Beyond: Two Souls getting a lot of attention. C… Read more

Another flawed, enjoyable interactive movie from Quantic Dream.

As someone who rather enjoyed developer Quantic Dream’s previous game, Heavy Rain, I had high expectations for Beyond: Two Souls. I’m well aware of the litany of issues that many point to with regards… Read more

Beyond is Quantic Dream's best game to date, yet it's still a clumsy disconnecting experience the majority of the time

With Beyond: Two Souls , Quantic Dream has achieved the most realised version of its distinctive form of interactive storytelling yet. This is a vision the French developer has spent the past decade t… Read more

BEYOND: Two Souls Review

I am not usually the kind of person who would describe a video game as an "experience" in the same way that a guy like Peter Molyneux or indeed David Cage may describe them. I tend to enjoy the narrat… Read more

Between Living and Dead

I wrote this orginally on my website, BruisedThumbs.com. Hope you guys enjoy. The argument of whether or not games can be more than just a game is something that has always interested Beyond: Two Soul… Read more

"I would love to see Beyond: Two Souls adapted into a video game!"

"I would love to see Beyond: Two Souls adapted into a video game!" Yes, while that certainly does sound like a derisive comment to make about Quantic Dream's latest title, it is the most honest feelin… Read more

A wonderfully crafted tale that ties in both cinema and gaming into one, even if a bit flawed.

This is the most difficult game I’ve ever had to review. How do you classify it by genre when there’s not much to the actual “game” element? How do you classify a linear narrative that involves the in… Read more

Definition of a Masterpiece: Ask Less, Demand More

"Beyond: Two Souls" is a game. Seems important to say that up front, as it's been said the game isn't so much a game as a movie trying to be a game. Some will want to argue this point, raising terms l… Read more
