@Voltan Cool congrats on beating Ghost Wire Tokyo. I have been thinking about playing this game as well for some time now.

Beyond: Two Souls, PS4 version. I reached the end credits with it. It's a supernatural thriller, with a focus on narrative and choice.

Overall I rather enjoyed it. It had an interesting story, and the characters were well crafted. In particular, the main character Jodie was likeable and relatable, and William Defoe does a great job acting as one of the researchers.

My only real complaint was that choices didn't always feel like they had too much of an effect. There's some great variations that can occur, but more often than not chapters will unfold in mostly the same way regardless of choices. But other than that, I enjoyed my time with it.

@crimsontadpoles Beyond: Two Souls is a game I’ve been meaning to play for ages, but I keep forgetting about it and prioritizing other games. It’s great to hear it held up for you.

Question — did you play the jumbled timeline approach like the game originally released or in chronological order? My understanding is that it originally was told in segments that were out of order and they patched in a mode where you could play it in a chronological timeframe after players complained. I’ve heard arguments supporting each approach, some saying to experience it in the original artistic direction first while others say a first playthrough is too confusing so one should play in chronological order first to avoid frustration about understanding the plot.

@Th3solution The PS4 and Steam versions lets the player choose between the original jumbled up order, or a more chronological order. I went with the original jumbled up storyline. That approach worked
