Beyond Good & Evil™

Incredible combination when originality meets with quality. This is not nostalgia rating, playing it for the first time in 2024. The game is great, characters symphatic, dialogs nice and right amount of them, gameplay mechanics well built and fluent, game pacing just right, idea of building action platformer around photographing just genial, it really fits well. Only bit negative is maybe sometime vehicular camera but this can't offset my 5* rating not a bit.

I get what people love so much about this game, what makes it an all time classic; the character and art design make sure of that, no question. And for that, I really tried to like the game. But alas, I don't, and it has all to do with the terrible controls and flawed game design. The camera and controls are -- excuse the pun -- beyond good and evil, and I don't think that's an exaggeration.. Espicially boat rides can be ridiculously frustrating. The game map is super not helpful; I spent too much time figuring out where to go and what to do. Also, there is quite some boring filler between story missions.

one of my all time favorite games, keyboard controls stink but still holds up well all these years.

So, I start up the game setting everything to max settings. I get greeted with texture flickering and letter boxing at 1080p. Why is there letterboxing? I go into the game and the game starts up looking okay until it gets to the part with the asteroids and then graphics start flickering like crazy and everything desyncs. What the heck is wrong with this port? Why is there no controller support? Why do the "most useful" reviews ignore these glaring flaws?! I feel like people were paid to say it's a masterpiece when it's a steaming pile of dog shet. Mind you, the game itself is fine on consoles, just not on GoG though.

Strongly recommend this old gem. The camera is a bit wonky and the story a bit rushed at the end but still very much worth the low price.
