    My biggest gripe: Too much innuendo, please stop this in game design. I got it when i saw the "back in the bus" reference and the "march for this/that" crap, and the oppression by the government scenes (which were unavoidable.)

    If you pay attention, quantic dreams literally wants to brainwash you to swap out Androids with minorities/black people and yewish people whilst playing the game.

    I want to play a quantic dream game because of their beautiful engine, the character development, the wholesome grand scenes, and the choices you can make. and it all falls flat on it's face in Detroit BH because the choices you make don't matter, the replay value is zero, and you get confronted with racism (positive racism is still racism) all the way.

    This isn't a game, it's pure propaganda hidden in a nice candy wrapper , and they expect us to pay for it.    … Expand

    interesting made and looking game but its real feels like it's was made by not grown up people very much over dramatic and wrong written stuff without sense. Characters behave stupid and don't resolve any hard situation as they should be. Game was make for crying over it games like this not improving in our time and they exist because unique genre what helps them survive

    8.7 for PS4 version is a joke. Bought the PC version, had to refund it, the game is that bad. The controls are absurd (at least with keyboard+mouse). The graphics is mediocre. The story is unoriginal and plain silly, full of in your face social commentary. The game deserves 5/10 tops.
    No problems running the game though.

    Game companies should first make these games for PC platform then consoles. Otherwise, games are really having bad optimization. Console systems cannot catch PC technology. I really wish that consoles nonsense must end one day. If you want freedom, just join the PC side. Consoles are for slavery.

    Nice leftist propaganda game: we have the usual "killing the planet" alarmism, a "machines take our jobs" alarmism, and a BLACK robot who tells us he doesn't want to be a SLAVE anymore, while it was abused by a WHITE owner.

    Notice the pattern already?

    It also says that machines are actually can be more HUMAN than HUMANS, which can help you to look down on yourself and your fellow men (pretty much what the left wants always).

    Oh, those oppressed, living saint, SLAVE robots, really... What is this? Cyber Cultural Marxism???

    For those who think that robots can be humans, I suggest to study how much computer had to be connected together to simulate 1 second of human-brain activity.

    As for the gameplay: your ability to interact is very, very low. You are highly restricted to do anything. However, the quality of the storyiine is not that bad, the atmosphere also above average, the voice acting of the famous actors are good, the others' are pretty average, or below that.

    This game is enjoyable for those who believe all what the left says, but not so much for those who have actual economical knowledge: every innovation, new machine helps the economy to grow richer. This only can mean one of two things: 1. you going to get more jobs or 2. you can have universal basic income. So the "androids taking our jobs" is just another alarmist lie.

    "They have caused unprecedented growth of the economy, YET, they also have caused high unemployment rate". Dude, the two LITERALLY excludes each other. It is like saying that cars have caused unemployment.

    And of course "this is not just a game, this is your future". Oh sure dude.

    So for us sane people, this game is an extremely over-hyped interactive movie, and nothing else.

    But, there are many people who loves the Blade Runner movies for reasons beyond me, so I can imagine that they like it.    … Expand

I have used this site for a multitude of things, excluding writing reviews. This game definitely caused me seek out, create an account, and post this review after many years of using this site to only read reviews.

    To Start:
    This game is a port from the PS4 game that was released. The game was not play tested, and did not have a beta for PC; which in this day and age is required for game like this. If you design a game and have your own game engine built into it, then you need to hire some play-testers or QA the game.

    Playstation has a very limited amount of default configurations, and I can understand how play-testing on the PS4 is more streamlined. But play-testing for PC requires multitudes of different types of hardware scenarios. To my knowledge, PC testing was never performed. This is evident of large amounts of players from all spectrums, be it high end or low end, experienced crashing and optimization issues.

    As of writing this, it has been five days since release of the game. Quantic Dream stated one day in that they were working on issues, but I have not been able to locate any official communications regarding the issues players are encountering.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game deserved a 0 just for the fact that it took me more to make the game work on PC than I spent finishing the game. I dare say it's an even worse port than Arkham Knight.

    All the technical problems aside, the real reason the game is bad is the story. The worst part is that it had a lot of potential, it could have explored the deep meaning of life though the story of AI gaining self-awareness. Instead it gives us a convoluted, and at times purely idiotic story that not only is not concerned with big questions like "why were robots programmed to simulate feelings?", "why in the world would you make them able to cry?", "why can they break the rules of robotics so casually?" and so on.

    There is a lot that doesn't make sense about the story if you stop to think about it. For example, how Kara somehow forgets that Alice was an android until the end when she has a flashback, how do androids even have flashbacks anyway? Markus acts just like a human even before gaining self-awareness, most of the droids in fact act way too human-like despite there being no reason to have them simulate feelings, at least for most of the models. Why are people angry at the robots instead of the businesses that refuse to hire them? The androids themselves don't make the difference between the ones that have self-awareness and those who do not who are still effectively just pieces of tech. Then there's the lesbian lover androids that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and there are many other things that don't make sense and plot-holes.

    The story is unbelievably half-arsed. They tried to draw parallels between a story about androids to humanity and real life events and sadly it fell flat on its face, the moralizing and the parallels make no sense. The way the robots and the humans act makes little to no sense.

    The only OK part of the game was Hank and how they at least tried to show how an android would believably gain self-awareness during Connor's arc.    … Expand

    Quantic Dream should get sued

The game spits you in the face right away, when you launch it you have to wait 15-30 minutes, when it compiling shaders. That isn't something you see every day. Ok, after such long waiting, the game just slaps you in the face with it's glorious 40 fps. I wouldn't mind, if i didn't own RTX2080ti. This game beaths the s out of my old 4790k, it barely stays above 30 frames per second, lol. It's a pretty unbalanced build, my cpu is old, i know that, but this cpu provide stable 70+ fps in an open-world adventure, like RDR2, and above hundred in something like Star Wars Battlefront 2. It's like they didn't really port the game and just slapped PS4 api to Vulkan translator on it, which works in real time and consume resources. I don't care how gorgeous this game is, i can't play it because of lazy and poor coding.

    Нуль, потому что в текущем состоянии я просто не могу играть в эту игру. Моя пекарня спокойно тянет RDR 2 в около 1440p разрешении (FullHD плюс разрешение рендера 1.5) на высоких настройках, но как очередь доходит до интерактивного кинца, она просто бессильна. Игра начинается со смачного плевка тебе в рожу, запустив её, ты вынужден ждать 15-30 минут, пока она соизволит скомпилировать шейдеры. Прорыв, такое, действительно, не часто увидишь игры. Окей. После утомительного ожидания игра снова бьёт тебя по лицу, на этот раз божественными сорока кадрами в секунду. Я бы и не возражал, ЕСЛИ БЫ В МОЕЙ ПЕКАРНЕ НЕ СТОЯЛА 2080TI. Эта игра выбивает всё дерьмо из моего старенького 4790k. Процессор, существенно превосходящий плойку, еле держится выше 30 кадров в секунду, лул. Ну да, я понимаю, довольно старый процессор, довольно несбалансированная сборка. Я бы понял, если бы этот процессор не выжимал минимум 70 кадров в секунду в современной игре с открытым миром, коей является RDR2. И я не говорю про какой-нибудь Star Wars Battlefront, который выглядит в разы лучше, и при этом способен выдавать более сотни кадров в секунду, если нет затыка в видеокарту. Такое ощущение, что они даже не портировали игру, а просто накинули поверх неё транслятор из API плойки в Vulkan, который на лету переводит плоечные инструкции в понятный для настольной системы язык. Иначе я никак не могу объяснить столь днищенский уровень производительности. Это ужасная халтура, какой бы замечательной ни была игра, я не могу её оценить по достоинству.    … Expand
