Beholder

Beholder is based on a strong concept, and it has moments that land well, but it’s also held back by repetition and an unexciting script. The unpleasantness doesn’t always feel worth the hassle, and few players will realise the ultimate goal of saving their family and escaping the mundanity of their tenement basement life without kowtowing to the state.

Beholder 2 is an immersive dystopia RPG with a desperate story, interesting gameplay, and hard choices.

Beholder creates an interesting world and fills this world with weighty, morally-grey choices that actually matter. The feeling of actually having an influence on how events transpire is present here, a nice change from games that promise choice and deliver nothing of the sort.

I've never played this type of game before, and although I didn't necessarily enjoy every single minute of gameplay, it's memorable for the ideas it presents, and the different ways in which it plays out.

A good management sim with an interesting style, but it may be a bit grim for some

I’m not sure that I’ve ever played through a game before where my opinion changed so drastically or as often as it did while I was playing Beholder.

Beholder doesn't hold your hand and this can become an issue. It relies heavily on the player to self-teaching themselves about much of the game's mechanics.

'Beholder' effectively captures a dystopian society from the perspective of the middleman. The game is a welcomed addition to any indie library, despite the few flaws it contains. I highly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys dystopian and task-based adventure games.

Every choice you make has a consequence and every consequence takes you to one of many conclusions. Great stuff!

Beholder gives you scenarios in which you must choose what is truly right in contrast to what is lawful and is more than worthy of a playthrough. You will feel. You will think. You might just behold something worthwhile.
