11. Beyond: Two Souls
Beyond: Two Souls is Quantic Dream’s outstanding take on the Action-Adventure and Interactive Drama genre. The game features two distinctive characters of Jodie and Aiden. Jodie possesses supernatural abilities and Aiden is a disembodied entity with a separate soul and is connected to Jodie via a psychotic link. Another important character is the Nathan Drake, a researcher who works at the Department of Paranormal Activities. Nathan acts as Jodie’s Surrogate Father figure in the game and helps Jodie control her powers. Players are tasked to control the character of Jodie and Aiden while exploring the game world and interacting with the objects. Non-player Characters (NPCs) are in the game as well that help players progress through the game.
Aiden’s character can also be controlled by the players through various environments. The secondary objectives of the game are to help Jodie jump between different times of her life, solve some challenging puzzles and find truth about her abilities. It offers various settings based on the eras that Jodie visits. The gameplay of Beyond: Two Souls is innovative and impressive at the same time. With a well-written story, fluent and well-designed graphics, and an addictive gameplay, Beyond: Two Souls is one of the best games like Life is Strange to play and enjoy. Beyond: Two Souls is available on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 only.
12. Heavy Rain
Heavy Rain offers an inspiring combination of Action, Adventure, and Interactive Drama elements. The gameplay and story of the game are inspired by the Film noir thriller movies and other depictions of the similar type. This episodic marvel is centered around the idea of unusual mysteries and the rudiments behind every unfolding story related to that. Heavy Rain features four protagonist characters in the game. All of these characters are involved with the mysterious Origami Killer, an inexplicable serial killer who uses the times during the rains to target the victims. Every protagonist character in the game has his/her own unique story that the players are bound to follow in different episodes of the game.
NPCs are also part of the game and they offer ways to get familiar with the story. Exploration, interaction with objects and other environmental elements, and QTEs (Quick-time Events) are some of the most important elements of Heavy Rain. The choice-based system allows the players to make decisions that pave the way to further developments in the game. If you want a game which is no short at features and offers a whole lot of different elements, Heavy Rain is your best choice. With an immersive gameplay, a great backstory, brilliant visual details and all the interactive drama, Heavy Rain is probably one of the best Adventure games like Life is Strange. It’s available on PS3 and PS4 consoles to play.
