Beyond two souls a game that at the time caught me enormously, the truth is that it has aged, in my opinion, excellently. I remember watching all the Rubius gameplays and enjoying this story full of highs and lows, Jodie's life is really heartbreaking as many unfair events happened to her and she only wishes for peace and happiness.
At the time I couldn't play it because I didn't have a good PC but as time went by and I was able to build a good machine I was able to enjoy it first hand for myself, I absolutely loved every second, every movie worthy scene, the explosions, the reflective moments of solitude, the epic scenes worthy of appearing on the big screen.
The warmth that manages to convey the scene of an embrace between two characters is amazing and do you know why? Because they have been able to build a good story to empathize with the player and that is something that is not easily achieved, there is a lot of work behind and this is what we should demand from the video game industry, good stories, learning, reflections, fun and sadly in the last great deliveries all this has been lost or not even complete games come out.
As I mentioned its strength is the narrative, but we will also have to make decisions that will affect the development of events, despite being a relatively short game the gameplay is huge as the paths that we can do are very varied. The story is not linear and each time we replay it can be told in a different way alternating between different moments of Jodie's life from childhood to adulthood.
One of the biggest decisions in this game is reaching the end of the installment, throughout the game we will choose many things that will greatly affect our results but in this last one we must choose whether we LIVE or DIE and what surprises me is not the fact that our protagonist has suffered so much in her life that she simply wants peace, I understand that there are people who may be having problems and I invite them to seek help but the fact that you are reading this now is because you are still choosing to live and we are constantly like this.
I simply love the visual section and the mature themes it touches such as identity, destiny, the price of having a special gift, achieving a great emotional and cinematic charge. Please give it a chance, thank you for reading and I hope to read it here soon.
