The reviews for Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition are in, and it seems that the remaster has captured the hearts of many gamers. Push Square gave the game a solid 8 out of 10, calling it a “bona fide classic remastered with love and care.” The visuals were praised for being smooth, the musical score beautifully recreated, and the supplemental materials well-presented. However, the review does mention that the game shows its age, but like all great art, it weathers the test of time with grace.
Press Start also awarded the game an 8, stating that the 20th Anniversary Edition does a commendable job of freshening up an experience that had long aged out of its must-play status. The enhanced visuals maintain the original charm, and welcome quality-of-life and control improvements make this a worthwhile revisit to Hillys. It seems that the remaster has successfully revived a cult classic in the eyes of many.
YouTube channel SwitchUp had high praise for the game, awarding it 88% and dubbing it an easy recommendation. Despite some dated aspects of the gameplay, such as animations that feel 20 years old, the excellent content makes up for it. It’s clear that the remaster has managed to retain its appeal despite the passage of time.
The Sixth Axis gave Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition a stellar 9 out of 10, claiming it to be the best way to play this classic title. The update in controls, resolutions, and more has brought the game up to date, although it may show its age during certain sections. However, the charm and character of the game shine through, attracting a whole new audience to the experience.
Metro provided a slightly lower score of 7 out of 10 for the Anniversary Edition, acknowledging it as one of the best PlayStation 2 remasters ever made. Despite the age showing at times, the remaster makes a compelling case for a sequel.
