Beyond Good & Evil is an action-adventure game with elements of puzzle-solving and stealth-based games. The player controls the protagonist, Jade, from a third-person perspective. Jade can run, move stealthily, jump over obstacles and pits, climb ladders, push or bash doors and objects, and flatten herself against walls. As Jade, the player investigates a number of installations in search of the truth about a war with an alien threat.
Jade and Pey'j are care-taking the children of Hillys orphaned by the DomZ. When Jade runs out of money to run the shield that protects them, she finds a photography job, cataloguing all the species on Hillys for a science museum. She is recruited by the IRIS Network, which suspects that the Alpha Sections are behind planet-wide disappearances. Jade's first target of investigation is an Alpha Sections factory.

So naturally I went in with pretty high expectations but I was also hesitant as I have heard all that before for games that I kind of hate (don't get me started on Red Dead Redemption 2).
However, after finishing this game, I gotta say...
Yeah ok this game was pretty awesome.
Don't mess up the sequel Ubisoft.
It looks ambitious and I'm concerned it'll become a sequel to Cyberpunk 2047. Either finish it or don't release it at all please. It's been 18 years since the first one came out (at the time of this review) and it'll probably be at least 20 years total until it comes out if it ever does. A half baked buggy mess won't cut it this time, not after a 20 year wait.
