Beyond: Two Souls was last game from Quantic Dream, which I haven't played - and I was finally able to play it. In short - this is their second best game after a newer Detroit.

What I liked:
Story - This game is mostly about story, so its the most important part. And story is nice, sometimes little predictable, but overall impresion is good.
Changes in gameplay and scenes - a lot of interresting location and changes in time - you play as Jodie from young girl to adult woman
Non chronological order in scenes - scenes are scattered around the whole life of Jodie in "chaotic way" - this is debatable, but for me it was good choice and I enjoyed it
Aiden - her partner from "the other world" - it is nice change in perspective, gameplay as Aiden is different from Jodie. In most scenes you could switch between them
Quick time events - they are nicely done here, they are not too hard and they aren't punishing you for every small mistake
Decisions in story - some small parts of story are affected by what you done
Some mystery in story - it is little mysterious from the beginning till the end, but luckilly it's not so big esotheric bulls.... as end of Fahrenheit

What was bad:
Controls - sometimes a bit clunky (its problematic in all QD games)
Graphic - OK, its older game, you can expect it
Few scenes were "not too good" - worst design was in "war scene"
Limited abilities in playing as Aiden - sometimes you are forced to play it as was intended by developers, not by what seems to be logical to you
Decisions in game have very small impact in story

I enjoyed this game, its better then Heavy Rain and much better then Fahrenheit. Their last game, Detroit, is slightly better, but you wouldnt do mistake by playing Beyond:Two Souls
