I kind of understand what kind of direction David Cage is going for doing a Tarantino style of direction, but all that does is make the story a little bit inconsistent. For example, you would start out with Jodie in her childhood then jump into her in the military, then back to a kid, then teen and then suddenly you're wanted by the police. The game starts out in medias res and from there the story starts to jump around the place. However the only problem I had with the story was the way it is told. It has an awesome plot that will keep you hooked for hours until the very end. The story is very emotional and even more so with Heavy Rain and touches on a lot of sensitive subjects such as death, losing loved ones, and reconnecting with those we have lost (which I'm sure will make many shed some tears, I sure as hell did). The storyline here doesn't have as many plot holes like Heavy Rain does so that's relief. This game is purely made for its story and the story here is exceptional, in addition, the performances by Ellen Page as Jodie Holmes and William Defoe as Nathan Hawkins are both amazing. All her life she is attached to an entity named Aiden that protects her throughout the entirety of her life she tries to understand her entity's purpose here and understanding more on what lies beyond. Beyond tells a story of girl named Jodie Holmes through her life ages 8 23. Also if you hated David Cage's previous title Heavy Rain due to the QTE's and slow gameplay then chances are you won't like this title either, this is stuff you should expect in a Quantic Dream game. If you expect some AAA gameplay in this game, its not here (The Last of Us is a great alternative of storyline and gameplay). it really depends on what your looking for these days in gaming. Is this game really worth your time? Well. Beyond Two Souls is an incredibly beautiful game with a very beautiful and emotional storyline with a few surprising twists thrown into the mix. What happens after death, what is there in the beyond? These are the questions that Quantic Dream's new title tries to ask. The game has several endings dependent on some of the choices that decide the fate of both Jodie and several side-characters she befriends throughout the game. The game plays as a non-linear third person adventure game and allows the players to choose which or how severe actions Jodie will take in certain dangerous or normal situations. However, wherever she goes, the military, the demons and the spirits follow, and wreak havoc. Realizing that she will never be free, Jodie decides to run away like many times before. She also discovered that, since she can also channel the dead, the military will eventually probably force her to use all her powers to open a rift to the afterlife dimension, even though this could literally unleash Hell on Earth. Eventually, she joined the military only to become their pawn forced to commit criminal acts abroad for the supposed greater good. Having no friends, and being bullied and accused of witchcraft by every kid she ever tried to become friends with, Jodie grew attached to Nathan and became his surrogate daughter. Scientist Nathan Dawkins was chosen as her handler and tasked to study her, raise her and prepare her to join the Psy Ops military division as soon as she's of age. As a small child, Jodie Holmes became a government lab rat due to her strange psychic powers caused by her link to an incorporeal psychic entity known as Aiden.
