Beyond dances between these chapters: Jodie as a little girl, Jodie as a stubborn teen, Jodie as a young woman, Jodie as a little girl again, and so on. Jodie’s story is told in chapters out of chronological order across 15 years of her life. Now a classic to try before eventually having the right to a full compilation of the three titles. It is not every day that we can tackle some of the themes evoked by Beyond in the field of video games. Saiko No SutokaĪ little before Detroit and logically following Heavy Rain, the game with Ellen Page for heroine can now feed the debates of the evenings of PC players without having to be ashamed of its aesthetic. It has been going on for years and had already fueled much discussion about David Cage’s vision for video games.Julo’s test. Basically, we will not repeat the debate between gameplay and narration. We can say that graphics are not everything, in a game with such an important narrative dimension, it further increases the immersion and the emotions generated by the acting and the staging. Of course, it is this point that is obvious from the first minutes of the game: all the work of Quantic Dream is magnified. A version so technically finished that without this known history, one would have thought it was the master version. Emotion magnifiedĪlmost 6 years since Beyond: Two Soulswas released on PS3, and 4 years after its remastering on PS4 here is finally the PC version. She’s a character wonderfully realized by actress Ellen Page, who proves to be much of Beyond’s saving grace. Unlike Heavy Rain before it, which dipped into silliness but was at least thematically consistent, Beyond’s only consistency is its focus on Jodie Holmes, the game’s tragic heroine. Beyond is an opus – a muddy and unfocused one, but an opus – packed with so much plot it feels like Cage has indulged his every whim and want in a single project. Indeed, if there was ever a game that suggested that Cage is a frustrated film director at heart, it’s this one.
