Beyond Good & Evil™

NO SPOILERS <3: A Brief Review

I loved the game! It's a short and sweet action-adventure platformer that has some basic stealth sections. Before I get into why I love it, I'm going to start with the negatives just to get it out of the way: - I would've gave it 5 stars if I hadn't had to troubleshoot the game to get it working on Windows 10. [If anyone has audio sync issues then follow the link at the bottom!] - You have to fight with the camera (your mouse) in some sections. - Specifically in Races, my boost acceleration (which would normally stay on) was turning itself off automatically, after a while. But that didn't stop me from getting 1st Place. I initially tried out the game as I've always heard about how good BG&E is but only played the demo back when it went HD on the PS3. I never played it back in the GC/PS2 era but it feels very nostalgic for me. I do miss the days of 3D platformers and their art direction/story arcs, so this really scratched an itch for me and might do the same for you! For context, I grew up playing Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger & Spyro so I know I would've loved this as a young teen. The little glimpse that we have on the BG&E world is very charismatic. From the alien music (bangers btw) to the different creatures you come across and of course the characters and story! It all comes together in a heartfelt way that I personally haven't experienced before. It is EXTREMELY charming and I really adored it. It's sad that BG&E 2 is in development hell or is probably going to be cancelled if it hasn't been already. Like previously mentioned, the gameplay consists of basic platforming, basic puzzles/problem solving, basic but somewhat satisfying combat, stealth and vehicular sections. More side missions and upgrades would've been lovely but it's understandable for a story focused game from the early 2000's. <3 Audio Sync Issue Solve: gog.com/forum/beyond_good_and_evil/updated_2020_guide_for_audio_cutscene_desync_fix
