Beyond Good and Evil’s remaster is the easiest way to play the game in 2024, just a shame it’s also the ugliest

The 20th Anniversary Edition of Beyond Good and Evil has a strong focus on hyperrealism and detailed textures, which detracts from the original game's iconic art style and creates an uncanny valley effect. Jade, the protagonist, has been toned down and her appearance lacks the boldness and uniqueness of the original. Ultimately, the remaster may not be as enjoyable for fans of the original game.
