Beyond:  Light Advent

Based on both the Beta and SE demo (fell asleep during the CE demo -- oops)

I have to say this game has made a HUGE improvement since I played the beta.

Your character seems to work at a Space Station.  Her co-hort is a nerdy, squirrelly looking young man who needs to look more like he's in SHOCK Beyond:  Light Advent 2820159405 that the world could be ending rather than ............... hmmm .......  pass me another slice of cake  Beyond:  Light Advent 2035084819 or something.  YIKES! Beyond:  Light Advent 2820159405   And his voice?????  Please.  Does it have to be so squeaky????

First things first.  When you enter your profile ...... check out the license plate on the red convertible on the game page.  SURPRISE!!!!  Beyond:  Light Advent 2790538824 Hmmmm Beyond:  Light Advent 2616492026 .  That's actually one of the most exciting things in this game.  Ho-Hum. Beyond:  Light Advent 2881906224 

Graphics are pretty well done.  Voice overs were mediocre.   Please fix your character's assistant's voice ..... please!  The music, IMO, should have been more "Twilight Zone".  But, that's just me.

4 difficulty modes:  Stargazer, Astronomer, Cosmologist and Physicists (custom).

You are equipped with a journal which puzzled  Beyond:  Light Advent 2616492026 me a lot because the notes were written along with your tasks/objectives instead of dividing them into separate areas of the journal.

You are also equipped with a walkie talkie so you can speak with all the characters you meet during game play.  And a memory bracelet that attaches itself to your arm.  What fun!!!! silly

There were several areas where I came across dead silence.  No voice over, no music, no sound fx.  There I am, crouching among the trees and .............. nothing. Beyond:  Light Advent 1535248719
 
I did have a "WHOA" moment Beyond:  Light Advent 2820159405 when the "space being" was able to put his hand right into your inventory!  scared1   Seriously????

HOGs (hidden object games) were list or silhouette.  Not very interactive.  Mini Games were fun and unique.  Yes, I used the skip button once.  Bad mommy .... no donut (it's a Simpson thing - lol).

CE Bling consists of the usual fare including:
*  collect 44 rocket ships
*  collect Morphing Objects in the HOGS only.

At the end of the demo, your character sees herself in the reflection of an elevator door and exclaims that she's "in another body .... again". 'whoa'!   scared1

I don't recall her being in another body during the demo.  So, I did a little investigating.  The survey for the beta indicated this was a sequel.  "Again?"  Beyond:  Light Advent 2616492026 "Sequel?" Beyond:  Light Advent 2286850865 .  THIS I had to look into. Beyond:  Light Advent 2377402854

Just as I thought. Beyond:  Light Advent 2346216916   Yes, this IS a sequel.  But, before you go off trying to find the first game ....... it came out in 2013 as a Playstation 3 game only.  So, what have we missed?????

It is a great standalone game from what I could tell from the demos.  CE worthy, IMO, because it has bonus game and collectibles and morphing objects.  Who could resist?  confused2 big-grin

I think it would be a better game for intermediates and experts as opposed to beginners. 

I doubt very seriously if I will purchase either the CE or SE.  It just didn't hold my interest.  For those who love the sci-fi genre of games ..............

Enjoy! Beyond:  Light Advent 2919845315


Overall Impression:  Not my cup of tea but I think hard core sci-fi lovers will thoroughly enjoy it.
