Beholder 2 greatly expands upon the entirey of the series' worldbuilding and excels at pushing a rather hm ordinary dystopian story at first glance toward something hardly describable with words.
this game is worth replaying, too, since i picked the debatably bloodiest way to play it first and foremost, but i'll def go through this again at some point.
having not so much to do with the first game's gameplay, i probably liked that even more in this game, especially as it varies as you progress higher and higher up the Ministry.
if the first game was hugely Orwellian, this one here gets more original. it also elaborates on some of the prequel's obscurities, e.g. you get to know why the state outlawed damn APPLES. peak!
1985/10 orwellall. overall. yeah.
All Hail the Supreme Leader!
Beholder 2 presents a polished adventure experience steeped in a dark, oppressive atmosphere. Players assume the role of Evan Redgrave, a new employee at a totalitarian Ministry, where the narrative unfolds amidst bureaucratic intrigue and personal mystery.
The game excels in storytelling, offering a multitude of choices that enhance replayability and keep the plot engaging. However, the gameplay is marred by frustrating and repetitive mini-games, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.
For those who appreciate rich narratives and the freedom to forge their own path within a game, Beholder 2 is a compelling choice.
the game is a big upgrade over the original in my opinion, but there is a constant need to save as frequently as possible in order to not get screwed. i do love the mocking tone of the game and how it makes fun of every selection in the aisle in terms of ideology. the creators are clearly well-versed in literature regarding political theory such as communism, marxism, & totalitarianism. the constant need to save for worst possible outcomes and severe over-reliance on loading screens in between gameplay segments are my biggest complaints but this basically does everything you could ask for in terms of a sequel to the original beholder.
One of the best games I've ever played.
I played the game for 7 hours and got to a part where i was not able to keep going........ i made one wrong choice and then there is no way out of being punished if you dont have the right stuff..... now i would have to start the game all over and play 7 hours again to get back where i was to keep going.
I liked this sequel game even more than the original since my favourite genre is story focused RPGs - the original had a stronger focus on resource and time management. Great depiction of the hellish bureaucratic nightmare the Soviet Union was, the creators did a good job balancing the dark historical references with humorous moments. You play as a newly transferred public servant and gradually uncover why your father disappeared.
Одна из лучших игр которых я проходил. Миллион исходов сюжета, 10 отросших крыльев из 10.
Beholder 2 is a total subversion of Beholder 1, presenting an absurdly radical change on an aesthetic and mechanical level, and what a change! We went from a small 2D environment, where we had to control an apartment complex and its tenants, to moving through a huge 3D environment, full of activities, and a long and interesting car of characters, with an honest variety of possibilities to interact with them. It would be difficult for me to find fault with this game in any area, since I genuinely have no words to describe the absolutely flawless execution from start to finish, especially the twists and turns the plot throws at you throughout the story.
If I really wanted to complain about something, it's that there are no reasons to support the Inner Circle at any point in the game, and if there are they are minimal and not really worth considering, but beyond this, I can only define Beholder 2 as a masterpiece and one of the best sequels in the entire video game industry.
I've not played the first one and i bought this game on sale, but I don't regret it at all. this game is definitely more out of my comfort zone of normal games but I enjoy playing this game a lot. the storyline is pretty easy to follow and the art style is so good
My wife said if this review gets 50 likes and 5 awards, she will buy a case of beer, guys help me out.
Good
This game is preparing me for life in America if Trump wins a second term! Thank you for getting me ready for our possible dystopian dictatorship. 8/10 would dystopia again.
i got the nerd to commit suicide.
This is quite an interesting game and is very different to what I usually play. The atmosphere and setting of the game is really disturbing and depressing, which is by design. The story just makes you sad when going through it. I don't usually like engaging with media like this that is designed to make you uncomfortable, and although I feel that this game is very well-made, I can't say I really enjoyed my time with it or will be playing it again.
This game is full to the brim of different choices to make to affect the story and the characters in the world. Some choices are trivial and some can affect the story and the fates of different characters. When going through the different floors, all of the coworkers need to be eliminated from the competition, by either by convincing them to drop out or by removing them yourself. I usually tried to convince them to drop out, but I couldn't figure out how to do that for some of them. At that point, I would need to resort to getting them removed by force, which I didn't really enjoy doing. Also, the deskwork that needs to be done on each floor is super boring (likely by design) and only serves to award money and suck up time from the actually interesting parts of the game.
Games that have different endings and game-affecting choices like this game always end up bothering me in some way because I know there is more content to see, but the only way to see all of it is to play through the game at least once more, if not many more times (or watch it on YouTube, which feels lame). Most of the time, I don't want to play again, so I am just left to deal with the fact that I will not see everything in the game.
The game is clearly designed well and definitely has a story and message to tell, but it just isn't what I usually like to play.
This game, while very different from the first, met my expectations in most ways. The storyline was compelling, and ethical decision making took front and center, which is what I love so much about the Beholder games.
Pros:
- Compelling story with difficult choices
- Very nicely linked to the first game
- Shows a different part of life in the Greatest Union
- Shocking plot twists
- Interesting characters
- Allows for many different stories to play out
- Daily timer
- Mysteries to unravel
- You can’t save everyone
Cons:
- Art style is inferior to 1 and 3 (IMO)
- Character stories don't really matter for the ending
- Surveillance aspect is mostly eliminated
- No family to look after
- Knowledge of the series needed to understand the story
- Many achievements require excessive grinding
Overall, Beholder 2 was a great game, and, while definitely the darkest of the series, it brings up ideas of life in a totalitarian state, the balance between good and evil, and who is trustworthy and who is not.
it doesn't seem anything like the first one and i'm too bored to go on
Here's your review with grammar corrections:
**Best part of the trilogy.** Awesome atmosphere, way more relatable characters, variety in terms of quests - overall, just a good dystopian game. The character can work on different floors with different tasks, which is nice and immersive. I really liked the co-workers' conversations that make the world really feel alive. Not only that, but there are also different ways to achieve goals; you can once more be more cruel or be that one good guy.
However, some tasks are a bit dull, like the one with clones. I did the bare minimum and stopped doing those. I felt like the higher I go, the less I care for coworkers, so it would be cool to have more dramatic stories towards the end (like the mom who sees her son in you, that was my favorite).
Overall, a solid game in a dystopian setting. I hope **Beholder 4** will be similar to this one. <3
Forsy game is a survailance-landlord simulator where you have to tiptoe between doping whats best for your family, and whats best for your conscience.
The second one fails in that aspekt in my opinion. The gameplay is a bit streamlined, but nothing to the point that would make game drastically different. The story is however completelly lackluster. There is no family to care for (they exist in the background), fate of you colleagues does not matter in the ending. And ending goes into weird scifi areas in my opinion, which does not fit for communism/brutalism setting.
And do not have me start what the game did to the protagonist of first game - basically making any choices you made in there pointless in the end.
Yes
I see what the game is trying to do, but it is failing at coming to the same standards as the last game. This game can get really repetitive and boring. At the time I'm writing this, I've played for 8 hours but it feels like I've played for way longer. I just can't bring myself to finish this game. I had big hopes for it, I went in blind and with a defensive mindset, trying to see some of the positive things and to have a reason to give a good review for this game, but this to me seems like a failed project turned into a desperate cashgrab.
Relatively simple game building on the world and story of the first game, and making something new. There are a number of people to investigate and either help or destroy, with one underlying story to tie it all together. Bad choices can easily end your game.
If you are doing the missions, you can skip most of the mundane busy work.
You have to complete tasks and puzzles, so if you enjoy that kind of this this might be a great try.
Solid game, better if movement speed were faster
I really appreciate the style and premise of this game. But, I don't think it's terribly fun to play. The gist is that you're a low-level bureaucrat working in a DMV-like office for an autocratic state (think North Korea). Part of the game is performing a Papers, Please like game of manning a booth to issue paperwork to folks. But, it isn't as interesting or clever and often feels arbitrary. Which is a big critique of the overall game. When not in the booth, you're trying to uncover details of a personal mystery while engaging in office backstabbing and taking on tasks for others. But, the game punishes you heavily for exploring its opportunities. For example, I had sex with a co-worker hoping that would help me advance another quest (it didn't). This then lead to a medical bill and punishment from work for a sum of around $1300, which I had to pay in two days. This seemed impossible and...I failed the game. Such stark and punitive measures that then cause me to fail the game and start over after several hours? That isn't fun. Why give me the sandbox if I'm not allowed to play? Perhaps I'm supposed to tinker and replay the game over and over to figure it out, but man, it just wasn't that fun.
Oh my god this is a step down from the first game, I am not going to even finish it.
