This leads to some genuinely chilling moments as Jodie sounds and acts spooky but nonetheless, it adds a pretty intriguing dimension to the gameplay. In such scenarios, the game allows Jodie to use her paranormal abilities and allow the dead to use her body as a host. As you play through the game you will meet certain characters that have lost their loved ones. I found these sections fun since it gave me a break from the repetitious quick time events. Some chapters will require Jodie to undertake covert missions where a mixture of patience and stealth is a must.
Later in her lifetime, Jodie joins the CIA and undergoes vigorous training for close quarters combat. The gameplay in Beyond Two Souls is entirely dependent on quick time events but the developers have mixed it up with slow motion action, driving and horse riding mechanics. If Jodie ever finds herself in a bothersome spot, she can invoke Aiden who will take control of a nearby NPC and take out enemies,destroy objects or even launch vehicles in to the air using its psychokinetic abilities." "The ability to control Aiden is a master stroke as it can lead to some thought provoking gameplay features.
This approach to storytelling may daze certain players and it is only in the latter half of the game that the plot comes together albeit in a convoluted manner.Players who are expecting a straight forward story telling experience similar to Heavy Rain or Fahrenheit should prepare themselves ready for befuddlement. Instead of following a chronological order of events, the game jumbles the story to and fro across different stages in Jodie’s. The game takes the player through fifteen years of Jodie’s life as she tries to discover the truth behind this mystical being. However with Beyond: Two Souls, Quantic Dream might have taken a few steps back.īeyond: Two Souls tells the tale of Jodie Holmes who is born with a special gift, a supernatural entity named Aiden that protects our heroine under any and all circumstances. The game also saw the ascent of Quantic Dream as a recognizable studio, after the exceptional and under-rated Fahrenheit. One could get emotionally hooked to the story and feel close attachment to the characters. I was extremely fond of Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream’s last venture in the interactive drama genre.
