GameSkinnyMark DelaneyApr 202110/10Telling a gut-punch of a story with novel gameplay mechanics is no small feat, and Before Your Eyes marvelously delivers on both fronts.

Flickering MythShaun MunroApr 20216/10Before Your Eyes almost loses its intriguing story and sumptuous aesthetic beneath an unpersuasive eye-tracking gimmick that's more irritating than boldly forward-thinking.
