Beholder 2

كنت متحمسة لها لاني احب السلسلة، وفكرة انك تترك مراقبة السكان وتدخل الوزارة كموظف صغير وتحاول تصعد بالمناصب كانت حلوة، ومع تقدمك تبدا تكتشف ان موت ابوك مجرد بداية لشي اكبر بكثير. القصة فيها افكار حلوة وكل ما صعدت طابق تنفتح لك اسرار جديدة عن الوزارة والنظام وتبدا تفهم الصورة بشكل اوسع، وعجبتني الشخصيات والطرق المختلفة اللي ممكن توصل فيها للنهايات، لكن حسيت الاختيارات اكبر من تاثيرها الحقيقي، وكثير من المواقف تكون محددة بمسار معين وتعطيك احساس بالحرية اكثر من انها تغير مجرى الاحداث فعلًا. توسعة فكرة الجزء الاول خلت التجربة اكبر من ناحية القصة والانظمة، لكن على حساب التوتر اللي كان يخلي الجزء الاول ممتع بالنسبة لي وهذا اكثر شي افتقدته، هناك كنت احس ان كل قرار له ثمن واشياء اخاف اخسرها، هنا فيه اسرار ومؤامرة اكبر لكن بدون نفس الارتباط بالشخصية الاساسية، ومع الوقت يصير اللعب متكرر بين المهام والاوراق وجمع النقاط والتنقل من مكتب لمكتب، صرت احس اني العب محاكي موظف حكومي. ⭐3\5

From the very beginning of the game, it's nonsensical and chaotic. For example, there's a ministry of order, who you're meant to report crimes to - ah, but you DON'T report a theft to them, you report it to the ministry of arts and crafts, because... the stolen item is a book... Seriously? It's nonsense. I've gotten at least 5 questions wrong for absolutely insane reasons. Another example: spying isn't reportable to the ministry of order that concerns itself with spying, no, no, it's part of the ministry of propaganda. Here's a third and even more absurd example: A man is complaining that someone keeps altering his sculptures. The ministry you must report this to? The ministry of science. No, really...

ehm no!

Incredible game! I'm having so much fun!

I've first played through Conductor and then the First game and I have to say that this is very different from those games. Instead of spying on your neighbours you are young Evan whose quest is to find out the truth behind his father's death. Evan starts working at his father's workplace and has to find multiple ways to get a promotion with each promotion bringing him closer to the truth. I think story is really good, mainly because unlike in Beholder or Conductor, whole point of the game is very personal. You are not spying on your neighbours or passengers, you are ivestigating your father's death. Evan is also really great, I never could relate much to Winston (Conductor) or show any liking to Carl (Beholder) but I can understand Evan and his entire character very easily. Sadly just like in first Beholder the ending you get in this game has no consequences for next games because devs again just took one ending and made it their canon. Other than that the only issue I have is the gameplay because at certain times there are quests that are really confusing, and have to be done in very specific ways. Also when you "work" game gives you minigames that you have to complete to earn…

Who up Beholder 2ing it?
