    I did not know a thing of Cage’s work prior to reviewing Beyond: Two Souls, but the excellent storytelling, the spot-on acting and the technical prowess that explodes out of the PlayStation 4 has made me a huge fan instantly.

    Beyond: Two Souls is back on PlayStation 4 with an enhanced graphic and the same interesting and emotional story, representing a great opportunity for those who didn’t play it two years ago on PS3.

    Beyond: Two Souls is still an intriguing piece of digital narrative. It has some plot flaws, but living Jodie's story in the new straight order is refreshing, and some of the improved visual effects are mesmerizing.

    Beyond has its ups and downs, and this version doesn't really improve that. The visuals get slightly better and the whole experience gets tweaked, but nothing relevant if you already played it.

    For me the most important feature of this remaster is the inclusion of the optional chronological mode. It makes the story a bit less flashy but way easier to comprehend. [01/2016, p.65]

    This two year old adventure looks great on PS4. And with the addition of playing the episodes in chronological order this is clearly the best version of Beyond. Nonetheless some of the old basic problems remain.

    The visuals still impress, but for a game obsessed with storytelling at all costs the dopey plot and underwritten characters in no way make up for the lack of gameplay.

In particular the melee qtes were hard to tell what way to go. Someone would be swinging a weapon and you can tell if you duck or attack. Even know you should be able to do both only 1 works. The game doesn't let you die thou but still it's frustrating when you wanna get the correct. The story isn't bad although I think it would have been better If it was easier to follow. You get a "remixed" version which puts it in chronological order but because this wasn't how it was written it doesn't quite portray it right. And the original would have been better if it was told more in the right order with the odd flash back here and there. 1 thing this game does better then Detroit become human is the combat parts are less linear. You actually are able to wander round a bit more and decide your angle more freely rather then 1 way or no way. I know this is a story based game but it's still nice to have a little bit of freedom every now and then which is something they gave the player here. Strange why they drifted away from that in the next title. Expand

I played it as the game originally intended and had no trouble following. It's not without it's flaws though. The controls are poorly executed and the camera could have been better. It's still worth a shot. Expand
