Beyond: Two Souls vs Gamedec
Beyond: Two Souls
Beyond: Two Souls is a one-of-a-kind psychological action thriller-adventure game where you play as Jodie Holmes, a unique young teen born with a mysterious yet persistent connection to an immensely-powerful being. Join her as she sets off on a soul-searching adventure across the world to find out who she truly is. The game features puzzles for you to solve and several fantastic action sequences which supplement the epic storyline perfectly.The selling point in this game is not only because of the incredibly heartwrenching storyline but also because the game features the voices of A-list Hollywood stars and Academy Award nominees, Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe. There isn't a lot of games that can claim to have this type of honor and this speaks volumes about the quality that the game is able to deliver.
So, if you're looking for a game with a story that's gripping enough to keep you at the edge of your seat and yet emotionally-charged enough to make the most hardened criminal shed a tear, this is definitely the game you seek.
Gamedec
Gamedec is a story-driven CRPG in which you play as a game detective, or “gamedec” that's set in a cyberpunk world where people mostly prefer Virtualia (the virtual world) than the real one (a.k.a. Realium). Similar to a private investigator, your job, when hired, is often to solve problems in the many game worlds in Virtualia, most of which can also be linked to issues in Realium, with your unique set of gamedec tools. There are plenty of decisions to make, people to talk to and professions to pick up as you progress through the storyline, revealing one plot twist after another!I truly can’t sing enough praises for Gamedec. The storytelling, the setting, and the immersion here are nothing short of impressive and I just love that there are so many different ways you can go about doing things. The movement controls can be a bit wonky at times, but that doesn’t take away the fact that this game is as good as they come, and well, if you’re into achievements, you can have fun playing through the story again and again, trying out other dialogue choices and maybe even discovering new story branches that you might have missed in your previous run.
