Reviews for Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls appear t' have been delicately placed on a lazy susan 'n then spun by the force a a truck slamming into the table. We haven't seen scattershot like this since the last time we fed caviar t' a baby. Our review used the term "face full a ghost farts" in it, so let's see what delicate words be used by others.

• Gamespot (90/100): "Top-notch acting makes the characters ye interact with sound believable ... Beyond: Two Souls so easily melds story 'n mechanics that ye become enamored with this young woman 'n the wench extraordinary life."
• Polygon (80/100): "While it be exhilarating t' see a team that has worked so hard t' perfect a new way a telling stories, I couldn't help wishing they had a perfect one t' tell."
• Giant Bomb (3/5): "Maybe there be no simple YARRRR/no recommendation t' give this game. For every part a it that comes together almost perfectly, there's another that be stricken by needless cliche or undercooked gameplay."
• Edge (50/100): "... this be a game almost entirely bereft a tension, one in which failure goes largely unpunished 'n be almost always inconsequential. There be emotion here, but it be felt passively, as spectator instead a player."
• VideoGamer (40/100): "There be bright moments, but when a game sells itself on a story, said story better be good. This one isn't, 'n anyone expecting Heavy Rain 2 be going t' be sorely disappointed."
