Not quite Omikron bad, but close
Beyond: Two Souls isn't the worst thing Quantic Dream has ever put out, but that's only because of how phenominally bad of a developer they have shown themselves to be. For most other studios, this would be far and away the most embarassing effort they ever had the gall to release. The story is typical David Cage fare, with half the scenes written like first drafts from before the writer knew what the story was ultimately going to be about, and the other half feeling entirely superfluous, only added in to extend the run time of a game that already feels like it's dragging it's feet in getting to any kind of point. The decision to tell the story out of order doesn't help, especially since it's such a pointless and baffling narritive device. The game's story and how the player experiences it would change not in the slightest if it had been told linearly, so it feels like no more than a last ditch effort to give a boring game any kind of personality. Normally, a Quantic Dream game can at least be recommended on a purely ironic level, due to how hilarously incompetent the writing is, especially when it comes to dialouge, and while Beyond: Two Souls certainly has an abundance of so-bad-it's-good moments, the sheer amount of time David Cage devotes to creeping on Elliot Page by constantly shoehorning in weird sexual situations severely undercuts any humor one would typically find in one of these games. That is to say, even if you're used to the bizarre amounts of scenes of sexual assault that take place in Cage's games, this one may be too much for you. Gameplay in Quantic Dream games is almost beneath mentioning. It's walking around occasionally broken up by QTEs. You'd think this would be hard to screw up, but Two Souls reaches innovative new levels of trash by having you guess what direction you need to press on the thumb stick based on one of Quantic Dreams' famously poorly directed cutscenes. No worries though, you can't die in this game, so there's no tension. Awful
