Quantic Dream has a talent for crafting moments. The scene in Heavy Rain where (SPOILER for a nearly four year-old game but whatevs) you chop your finger off is one of the most memorable things I’ve done this console generation. Forget about the plot holes and the French accents, when I walked into that room, I was completely drawn in.
Beyond: Two Souls is, again, a game that may not be filled with the most brilliant writing of the generation, and the story may not hit the right notes at every turn, but there are moments that are really something special, and they’re worth seeing the whole thing through.
