Is Beyond Good & Evil Still Worth Your Time? (20th Anniversary Edition REVIEW)

Sometimes the term “Cult Classic" can be abused. Beyond Good and Evil, on the other hand, is the exact definition
Beyond Good and Evil is basically Ubisoft trying to create their version of Zelda, specifically Ocarina of Time, which came out just a few years before in 1998. For such a high watermark, Ubisoft delivered. There are secrets to find, puzzles to solve, dungeons to explore, close range combat, upgrades to do and in the place of your trusty steed, you have a hovercraft. The most important feature is that Jade’s adventure still carves out its own identity.
While Beyond Good and Evil 2 remains in development limbo, Virtuos Games have given the original the new life. The 20th Anniversary Edition or technically 21st Anniversary edition includes visual changes and now runs at 4K60, quality of life fixes and even includes an exclusive new mission that connects the dots between this and Beyond Good and Evil 2, which is a good reason to believe that the sequel is still progressing slow.

What's another Cult Classic that deserves more attention?

[@evancodsworth2]

Peter Jackson's King Kong. Made by the same team.

[@Dalton_Boardman2000]

Tony Hawk's Underground should get the remake treatment but I'd settle on a port. Being able to hop off the board and walk around was awesome to me as a kid.

The Chrono Series, Parasite Eve.... Fatal Frame,

My no.1 childhood game

[@VDGMS]

It's great when you get to experience that feeling again with remakes and remasters

MGS Snake Eater was mine!

GOAT score, Christophe Heral ❤

[@Philinleshed]

Man I loved this game when I was a kid…I had owned it for PS2 and GameCube and I still got the 360 version when it came out lol

[@a.r.1611]

One of my childhood favourites and all it still holds up very well to this day. Still replay it every few years, so this was a day 1 pickup for me

[@nathanknight848]

Now this is a price that all remakes should be. Forget the sequel just enjoy this 🎮❤️ holds up great for me

[@sirhborn]

I'm glad this game came back

[@Mechamore]

Playings this on my PS5 tomorrow 😊

[@VDGMS]

That’s where we played it. It was great did you play the original or the Xbox 360 HD version?

[@Mechamore]

@VDGMS I played the original on Xbox and then the HD remake on PS3

[@LovelyRottweiler-nn5ot]

How did you find it?

[@evancodsworth2]

Best game Ubisoft ever made.

[@VDGMS]

It would definitely be on the short list. I would mention Rayman Legends and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time off the top of my head.

[@alibabaschultz352]

[@VDGMS]

Yeah I thought of that one too afterwards.

[@dogdogwoof]

This is what made me lobe open worlds!

[@franciscabdul2828]

can anyone tell me what i can unlock with Ubisoft Connect? thank you❤

[@keithcastillo5434]

It is like Zelda?

[@Sir_Newkirk]

Not gonna lie those 3d models look hella rushed.

[@user-hq7js2wf7h]

Bro game looks better than og and is best way to play the remaster is great

[@74Vidgamer]

It’s not a remake & they look WAY better than the originals & the HD versions!!

[@MrGageHarrison]

People love to bitch about everything

[@OMA2k]

Not rushed, they're just models created 20 YEARS AGO for the hardware of the the time. The remaster improves textures, effects and resolution, but not models.
