The bad
Following on from part one (the good), I'm now going to concentrate on the games, movies, and TV shows of 2015 that I didn't get on with. Before I begin, this list only includes material that I played or watched this year.

So, here we go again...

Beyond: Two Souls PS4 Review

Beyond: Two Souls Review
Shake controller to avoid - Score 2.5/5
Having been a fan of David Cage’s Fahrenheit and to a lesser extent Heavy Rain, I knew what to expect from developer Quantic Dream and their latest interactive adventure Beyond: Two Souls. I knew I would be experiencing more of a movie than a game. However, what I didn’t realise was that unlike earlier titles from Cage, my participation throughout the tale would be so limited and that the story would suffer from a distinct lack of mystery and intrigue.

Beyond: Two Souls sees you play as Jodie Holmes (Ellen Page) over a 15-year period of her life. Told in a nonlinear fashion, each scene of the story jumps from one moment of her life to the next. From adolescence to adulthood, Jodie tries to cope with Aiden, a possessive ghost connected to her since birth. Due to this unwanted attachment, Jodie’s life's somewhat depressing. From living as a child with foster parents, and homelessness, to being recruited by the CIA, Jodie spends the majority of her life as a lab subject for the Department of Paranormal Activity. Notably under the observation of Nathan Dawkins (Willem Dafoe).
