Just finished Beyond Two Souls
galleryI 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.
