The Question: As visionary and stylistically amazing as David Cage and Quantic Dream's games always are, Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls all lost their way in the third act, piling on absurd plot revelations that caused many players to tune out and lose interest in what began so intriguingly.

Given Cage's track record in this regard, one has to wonder whether his promising upcoming sci-fi thriller is destined to suffer the same fate, or can he actually learn from his past mistakes and deliver a satisfying finale this time?

The Likely Answer: It's hard to bet against history, sadly, and though Cage could prove everyone wrong, the fact that his storytelling mistakes have nevertheless proven critically and commercially successful on the whole makes it unlikely he'll start making drastic changes to his style anytime soon.

Prepare for a visually gorgeous experience that starts annoying you in its final hour or two. Deal with it or don't bother with the game, basically.
