Finished Beyond Two Souls... possibly the worst game ever. Ridiculous storyline, terrible gameplay, unlikable characters, and a terrible experience all around. I think they spent most of the budget on the high priced Hollywood actors, and stole the story from the Carrie movies. Ellen Page gets to be a bitchy little tough chick, same as she tries to be in real life. What child names their invisible friend "Aidan"??
The gameplay is an afterthought, used mainly to lead you through the painfully cliched storyline. Someone else said it when I lamented how easy games are now compared to early generations, but the game's developers seem more interested in the player getting through the whole story than actually being challenged by the gameplay. Failing a mission doesn't have any consequences in the game, you still move on to the next mission regardless. It just means you don't get the pointless achievement.
I'll say that the twist is kinda cool, if you can stand playing the game to almost the end, which is a montage of cut scenes tying up all loose ends and the writers telling you what the afterlife is like. What pretentious bullshit. Terrible terrible game.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
