Beyond: Two Souls is a highly immersive action adventure game developed by Quantic Dream for exclusive release on the Playstation 3 in October 2013, The game has big names involved including Ellen Page and Williem Dafoe alongside a large variety of different star actors.
Beyond: Two Souls is incredibly story driven, it is a game that you are going to find yourself incredibly immersed in. You will follow the life of the main character Jodie, a young lady who has a mystery entity attached to her, you will begin her story from a young girl and as you progress through her life you will have the ability to choose her fate, every choice you make will influence the area and people around you, which is not only incredibly fun and interesting but also makes for an amazing experience. There is a very memorable scene in which Jodie is locked under the stairs at a party where she has been bullied, she uses her entity to get herself out of it, after doing so you have the choice of leaving as soon as possible or completely terrifying the other guests, and i'm pretty sure if I had just been treated the way Jodie had been then I definitely know what I would do... Jodie's character develops so much more than I have ever witnessed in a game before, this is something that feels new and different on the games market.
The graphics in Beyond: Two Souls are nothing short of fantastic, something in which you would likely see in a feature film production, I couldn't find any fault in the design in character or the animations that they have used. You can appreciate the time and effort that has gone into every single detail, from large furniture, to tiny little pieces like remote controls or knives. The scenes flow almost effortlessly and whether you are watching a cut scene or taking part in a quick-time event it always feels like you are watching a movie.
As stated before, Beyond: Two Souls comes with an incredible roster in its voice acting corner, but it doesn't only have awesome actors it also has a beautifully created soundtrack that is not only fitting, but alluring, it sets the mood and immerses you in the game much more than you expect, you feel Jodie's pain as she develops in the story and almost feel sorry for her.
The game strives to create replay-ability. Although there isn't much action-packed combat or huge online multiplayer communities, Beyond: Two Souls has it's niche. The story. You will find yourself playing the game over and over against just to see what "could" have happened. It prides itself in the "what if" and it knows that the human mind wants to explore the u known. It achieves this in a way no other game ever has and for that reason alone I have no other choice but to give this game a huge 10/10
