Beholder Reviews
Beholder gives you scenarios in which you must choose what is truly right in contrast to what is lawful and is more than worthy of a playthrough. You will feel. You will think. You might just behold something worthwhile.
'Beholder' effectively captures a dystopian society from the perspective of the middleman. The game is a welcomed addition to any indie library, despite the few flaws it contains. I highly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys dystopian and task-based adventure games.
I’m not sure that I’ve ever played through a game before where my opinion changed so drastically or as often as it did while I was playing Beholder.
Every choice you make has a consequence and every consequence takes you to one of many conclusions. Great stuff!
While its mechanics can be a little finicky, Beholder is a simple game that ends up immersing you in the life of an informant in a totalitarian state, and it’ll no doubt make you develop a fascination with the lives of others. As you juggle your desire to be a good person with your desire to stay out of prison or an early grave, Beholder will force you to make some heavy choices
Beholder creates an interesting world and fills this world with weighty, morally-grey choices that actually matter. The feeling of actually having an influence on how events transpire is present here, a nice change from games that promise choice and deliver nothing of the sort.
Beholder doesn't hold your hand and this can become an issue. It relies heavily on the player to self-teaching themselves about much of the game's mechanics.
