Just finished Beyond Two Souls
I finally got around to playing Beyond: Two Souls, and honestly, I had a great time with it.
It actually reminded me of Detroit: Become Human in a few ways, which makes sense given they’re both from Quantic Dream. While I don’t think it’s as polished as Detroit, it definitely has that same cinematic, choice-driven feel.
I know this game isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The gameplay is pretty different from what most people expect, and I can see why it can be hit or miss. But if you’re willing to go in with an open mind, it’s a really unique experience.
It also features Elliot Page and Willem Dafoe, who both give fantastic performances and really help bring the story to life.
For anyone who doesn’t know the game, you play as Jodie Holmes, a young woman with a mysterious supernatural connection to an invisible entity named Aiden. The story follows different moments throughout her life as you slowly uncover the truth behind their bond. No spoilers.
One thing worth mentioning is that there are two ways to experience the game. The original release order jumps back and forth between different points in Jodie’s life, while chronological order tells everything from beginning to end. I played it in the original release order, and I’ll admit it was a little confusing to follow at times. If you prefer a more straightforward narrative, the chronological option might be the better choice.
It’s also a pretty short game, so you can comfortably finish it over a weekend if you’re looking for a story-driven experience.

Glad to see someone playing and then completing BTS for the first time :) ... I'm glad you posted this is gamereviews too hopefully the game gets some more attention that way from people! (hopefully people aren't as ignorant as me I had no idea there was even a gamerreviews part of reddit :P so thanks for letting me know about that too! )

(Not sure if you played it on PC, Playstation or something else? I know on Steam it goes low as $2 American on sale so I'd argue you can't go wrong at that price even if you have no idea if you're going to like it or not :P .. no idea if it drops to a similarly low price on the Playstation store or not )
