Awsome video game !

I loved this video game because it had such a great story behind it ! You play as the character Ellen Page and a spirt that has bonded with her. Through out this interactive telltale you get to choose different outcomes to the story while using both Ellen and the entity attached to her ! If you enjoy telltale games this is deffently something worth checking out !

Beyond Two Souls is an interactive, story-based video game. It was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2013, and re-released for the PlayStation 4 in 2015. It features Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe.

The story revolves around Jodie Holmes, a young woman who has been tied to a spirit named Aiden since childhood. Aiden gives Jodie special abilities and helps her out when she's in trouble, but there are other spirits that surround Jodie -- ones that aren't so friendly.

The game follows Jodie from childhood to young adulthood, with each chapter bouncing back and forth to a different point in time in a non-linear fashion. You play as both Jodie and Aiden, the latter of whom can interact with certain objects in a way that Jodie can't (such as fiddling with security cameras). When playing as Jodie, you'll be doing anything from attending a birthday party to going out on a CIA mission in the middle-east.

The whole idea behind this game is that it's an interactive film, more than anything else. You'll be presented with different dialogue choices throughout conversations with other characters, and you'll be presented with quick-time events -- a series of specific button presses that must be executed in time -- during more action-oriented scenes. It's not a difficult game, by any means, but it's not meant to be. As an interactive story, it absolutely works, and it works well.

The actors' likenesses is incredible here. They all performed in motion capture suits while filming every sequence, and their gestures and facial expressions were rendered very impressively on screen. The acting is just as good as if you were watching any film, and the story is captivating too.

My only real complaint is the lack of consequence. If you fail at something, nothing bad really happens. You could pretty well set the controller down during a sequence which puts Jodie in some sort of danger, and you would be fine. Likewise, making different choices doesn't impact the story as much as I would have liked -- all roads seem to lead to the same place, save for a few.

I do really love the story, the characters, and the overall experience. I can easily put aside its flaws in order to enjoy the game for what it is. I expect that even non-gamers would like this.
