Early 2000s gaming magic!
Beyond Good and Evil deserves its status as a cult favorite. First off, while everything is made of chunky polygons and big pixels, it’s still a good-looking and atmospheric game. The color palette is vibrant, the character and world designs are fantastic, it has a lot of solid animations, and the soundtrack (which is included for free in this release!) is as varied as it is excellent. I would describe it as a playable cartoon with a lot of charm, humor, emotion... and even iconic characters and interesting themes! BGnE is very Zelda-like in its presentation and includes multiple gameplay styles: despite this “jack of all trades” approach, everything works as intended and it’s a fun game throughout. While I think the camera is weird at times and the stealth mechanics are not very well introduced, I never felt I was struggling against the controls, and had a blast for the entirety of my 10-12 hours playthroughs. A common criticism is that the gameplay is simplistic, but I don’t see it as an issue: it’s simply not a game you play for the challenge, and the intuitive controls and rather easy difficulty makes it a good pick for younger and inexperienced players. My only big problem with BGnE is the quality of its PC version: it’s a playable but low-effort port without noticeable improvements, controls you can’t rebind, and unfixed performance issues that already existed on release and have only gotten worse on modern systems. You may need to tinker with graphical options and install some fan-made patches for it to run well, and some framerate issues and bugs are likely to subsist anyway. In short, while I would recommend avoiding this particular version if you own a console to play it on, you should definitely give this game a try. Those were the times when developers put a lot of love and effort into making their games unique and memorable, and BGnE is a great example of that: to me, it just oozes childhood memories, even if I never got to experience it as a child!
