The storyline and characters are easily one of the strongest and most remarkable aspects of BG&E. The synthesis of stealth and photography is also noteworthy in this regard. Having a hovercraft as the initial means of transportation is one example another is the unique fighting system by which the Y-button is used to activate a special move by a second character which enables the main character to launch a targeted attack that is utilized not only to defeat enemies, but also to overcome obstacles. The distinctiveness that constitutes the hallmark of this title is evident in the gameplay. There are a couple of mini-games to boot. Each and every one of these is implemented skilfully and smoothly integrated into the game: at times, two are combined (for example photography during combat). These include platforming, puzzle-solving, stealth, photography, hovercraft racing - and, of course, combat, both vehicular and on foot. Usually videogames have two or three gameplay elements: BG&E has half a dozen. Beyond Good & Evil (hereafter BG&E) is unquestionably one of the latter - a title that demonstrates what Ubisoft are capable of.
The last public update on its development came in August last year, as former Blizzard narrative designer Sarah Arellano joined the project as its lead writer.Some games are made simply and solely in order to sell, and some are designed in order to showcase the creativity and talents of the developers. Now, two and a half years later, Ubisoft has again gone quiet on the project - even if it appears safe from the chopping block for the time being. Ubisoft re-committed to the project again when Ancel left the company in 2020, despite questions over what state the game had been left in.
