14. The Condenser - Beyond: Two Souls

Y'know, I really wanted to like Beyond: Two Souls. The industry certainly needs more stupidly creative and ambitious minds like David Cage, and after coming out of Heavy Rain thoroughly impressed (just cast aside the "JAY-SON"s), this should've been the next logical narrative step.

But no, Cage went back to his Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy roots, leap-frogging off an already supernatural premise (that was so far, relatively believable), into a ridiculous concoction of battling ghosts and 'Is she gonna make it?!' platform-jumping.

Quick-time events abounded as suddenly Beyond wanted you to battle beings from another realm, and that was before they started possessing corpses and swearing at you. By the game's end you'd have had a boss battle against a giant talking wall of sand and chosen your love interest from a menu, but this was the turning point - the "Oh for f**k sake, Cage, you were doing so well" realisation.

It. was. terrible.
