I first played Beyond Good & Evil on PS2, well after it released. I remember wishing I'd supported this game at launch, but I hadn't ever seen it until the day I'd stumbled across it. It was instantly a classic for me and I loved it enough to buy the remaster on PS3, and now the 20th Anniversary remaster on PC. Let's get the negatives out of the way, as they are few. Ubisoft Launcher. I'm not one to have a problem with needing to download a launcher (would prefer not, but not a big deal for me) but the Ubisoft launcher has one major thing that, quite frankly, pisses me off. A square pops up in the middle right of the screen asking me to engage with some stupid online component while I'm playing it. This happened several times during the beginning of my playthrough and only happened maybe once or twice more the second time I booted the game up, and then it thankfully ceased. Not only do I dislike this kind of practice, I resent it. I've purchased your game, ask me to do all that garbage while the game is booting or at the title screen, NOT DURING MY PLAY SESSION. The only other thing that can be perceived as a negative is the framerate. It is capped at 60fps. For me that wasn't a big deal, as the game plays smoothly, but I know many want as many frames as they can get, so I figure it's worth mentioning. Positives: The team clearly went through this game on a mission to see what they could improve. There are certain enemies that have fully constructed textures (like the very first boss) and even the hats of the Mammago Rhinos! In many places you see the improvements and IMO they've done a great job with this. It's been probably a decade since I last played the game, but from my memory, everything else is as it was and I have no further complaints beyond the above. It was a fantastic polished ride through a game that I love and have revisited from time to time. Highly recommend! Thank you for reading.

As someone who has played multiple versions of Beyond Good and Evil across multiple platforms over the years, heed my words. Because this 20th anniversary version is a bit of a complicated thing to talk about. TLDR: If you don't mind some minor changes between versions like certain voice lines and audio hiccups being changed/fixed/worse, then go and buy this. If you don't mind sequelbaiting, then feel free to buy this. If you like having behind the scenes views at the makings of games like I do, then buy this game. Otherwise, if you've played the original version on the PS2, Xbox or Gamecube, you own the original PC port, or you own the HD Remaster on Xbox 360 or PS3, don't get this. As a fan who grew up playing BG&E, and has been waiting for a sequel for a long time, having the game back in the spotlight for any reason is a nice thing to see. I believe that BG&E is in Ubisoft's top 3 games they've ever made. So it's worth experiencing regardless of the version you have. The primary reason to play this version is for the updated graphical quality, newly orchestrated soundtrack, and the new content added. The updated graphical quality is both an improvement and a downgrade. Jade looks the best by far, but Pey'j, Double H, and other characters like Mei look worse and at times, even uncanny. Those characters have a real plastic-like quality to their model that seems off to me compared to the original's look. The orchestrated soundtrack is personally a weaker version of the original. The original soundtrack is iconic and did not need an update. A feature that would be appreciated would be to switch between the original and the new one. While there are some tracks that feel the same as their original counterparts, there are others that have added sounds or re orchestrated completely that take the mood out of their original vision. That could just be me being a nitpicky douche though. The big thing though is the anniversary gallery and the new side quest added. The gallery is an appreciated thing for me, and I am very happy that Ubisoft gave us a look behind the curtain in regards to the history of the game's development. As someone who did an analysis of BG&E, the gallery gave me new insight, character art, and even information about cut levels that I didn't know existed before. So that was neat. But the scavenger hunt. The new side quest you can unlock within the final hour of the game. You'll have to go on a search around the world to find these caches to unlock to get information on characters that weren't even in the original release. In essence, this is sequel baiting. Ubisoft is trying to get you to love these new characters from the sequel they claim to be working on, despite the fact that we have no connection to these people. Other than the final cutscene in the side quest, not much of value is gained from it in my eyes. There are still visual and audio bugs that are present in the original PC release, and the addition of these new things as well as skins for the characters and their weapons is not enough to give this a pass for me. ...Is what I would say, except for the fact that BG&E's original PC release was taken off Steam. So if you didn't buy it before, you can't now. Which sucks. To be fair, there's so few differences between the versions that if you aren't worried about game preservation or experiencing the original, this 20th anniversary edition is still satisfactory. It's still Beyond Good and Evil at it's core. It's still a classic. But currently it could be better than just a graphics update. So since you can only buy this version now, you'll have to. Personally I advise getting your hands on the original console versions in any way you can. They're the best ways to experience this experience of a game. But if this is all you can or are willing to buy, then it's not an awful way to experience some of Ubisoft's best.

i can't believe it's been over twenty years since i played Beyond Good & Evil on my GameCube as a little girl. shouts out to my dad for bringing this game home after work one day- its characters, world, story, and gameplay captured my imagination in a manner that few games ever did. in the twenty years since, Ubisoft has become worse and worse as a company, and continued to release worse and worse games... and yet, twenty years later, Beyond Good & Evil still holds up, likely due to how ahead of its time it was upon its original release in 2003. i'm undoubtedly biased from nostalgia, but i'll die on the hill that it's the greatest game that Ubisoft ever released. due to their rather abhorrent status as a company in 2024, i'm very hesitant to recommend giving Ubisoft money nowadays, but you owe it to yourself to somehow play this game. if the anniversary version's extra features appeal to you, you're going to have a wonderful time playing this game, whether it's your first or tenth time. just be aware that you're getting a triple dose of DRM with Steam, Ubisoft Connect, and Battle Eye, but i experienced no performance issues myself. otherwise, just torrent a copy of the GameCube, PS2, or Xbox and play this extremely underrated gem via an emulator of your choice.

Miles above the trash we originally got for the PC port. Great game, runs like a dream on the Deck.
