The player assumes control of Aiden, an entity residing in Jodie mocapped by Ellen Page. Willem Da Foe also plays himself as a researcher, but to make myself clear, this is a true cinematic game. Beyond: Two Souls has barely interactivity, and when it does, it's either walking with Jodie, or making scary decisions as Aiden.
Somehow, Quantic Dream decided to release the chapters first non-chronologically, but at least in this PS4 version, a chronological "remix" option exists. Most of the story is similar to Stephen King's Carrie, there are QTE's and dialogue options, but the overall package isn't as excitingly executed as you might think.
For now, this premise is better told from a cinematic experience, rather than from a gameplay perspective. That is why Beyond: Two Souls has had mixed and polarized reactions. Some chapters did have effective emotional reaction from me, such as Homeless.
Other chapters such as Navajo and The Mission felt utterly dull, poorly directed and honestly, 90% of the game felt like a bad walking simulator.
Rating: 6.4
