Beyond Eyes Reviews
There's definitely a feeling that there could have been more to it, but Beyond Eyes is an important game that is undeniably superb.
If I could give Beyond Eyes more stars, I would. Rarely does a character emotion become so pronounced in my own being.
Beyond Eyes is a great learning tool, but don't expect to be entertained.
Naturally, I hope that "Beyond Eyes" encourages other intrepid game designers to explore less bombastic realities than are found in most games. And although I liked its ending more than I expected, with little else to stand on apart from its atypical video game protagonist and appealing audiovisual presentation, I found myself wishing this already short game were even shorter.
Beyond Eyes is fragmented, half-hearted, and dull, and I doubt I would have cared enough to write this much if it wasn’t also irresponsible with its subject matter. I do believe Tiger & Squid had good intentions, and Beyond Eyes is far from paving any roads to hell. I just wish they had spent as much time considering Beyond Eyes’ framing device and mechanics as they did editing its trailer.
This whimsical and original game mimics the disorientating effects of blindness, but fails to build meaningfully on its initial idea.
