Beyond: Two Souls (2013)
Amazing Production!
It really keeps up with the last non-cannon title "Heavy Rain" which had a great story as well, consisting in a non stopping search for the son of one of the four protagonists. Beyond Two Souls didn't ran short with coming up with a human element-like quality to the gameplay, allowing the player to choose the way he or she wants the story to go on.
Another thing about this game is the chance the player has to control Aiden, Jodie's other "soul" (to avoid spoilers) both in single and multiplayer. This factor really is crucial for the player to decide how is he/she to run the show when it comes to decision making, such as killing people or meddling with Jodie's actions, etc. Meaning that if he isn't controlled in the right way, the player would have to assume the consequences. Turning this as a type of interactive movie, giving the player the control of the story progress. Innovative gameplay.
As for the acting, excellent, Jodie's character, played by Ellen Page is amazing, I wouldn't change a thing at all, and Willem Dafoe's character, Nathan Dawkins, really suited him. Needless to say, the relationship these two develop as adoptive father and daughter really provides that emotional element to the gameplay, as well as for Cole and Ryan.
Last but not least, the story. Very creative plot, lots of decisions to make, alternative endings and a back and forth time-line as you progress through. Jodie's journey to self- discovery and the continuous unraveling of the reason why she's connected with this other soul traps the player until the end and with all the pieces of the puzzle once together it's the turn for the player to make the final choice.
I gave it 9/10 because I found the identity of the other soul a little obvious, removing some of the tension in the last chapters of the story
