    This is Aaron's favorite game so it's immediately bad. His opinion is wrong.

    **** this game. All you do is run around in circles doing mindless QTEs with no choice whatsoever. The graphics suck. The controls are slow and boring. The game is simping for androids and trying to convince people that AI can be human too when in reality AI is very dangerous and must be stopped.

    I will give it this, choices actually do matter. The flowcharts in this game are wonderful, and the amount of different ways the story can play out is very impressive. Good job!

    Gaming as a medium has so far been absolutely pathetic in telling engaging stories that also maturely deal with themes. The themes here should be deeply scientific or philosophical. The game does not touch on either of them. Robots just become human in the most naive and straight forward way possible. Its not a deep game by any stretch of the imagination. And even outside of that, the plot kind of breaks down in the second half.

    The gameplay is very mediocre. So yes, its a choices matter game where choices actually matter, but thats all it really has to offer.    … Expand

    Абсолютно ужасная игра. Дэвид Кейдж - хитрый француз, делает "грустные" сцены высосанные из пальца, а сам стоит за спиной и ударяет по плечу "Нравится? Хочется плакать?" Нет, Кейдж, не хочется от слова СОВСЕМ. Главные герои - раздражающие, их не хочется понять, а даже если и хочется, то в некоторых случаях это не получается вообще. Про "мораль" здесь вообще молчу.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m very late to playing this game. I’ve only heard good things about it so I gave in and decided to give it a try and I was genuinely impressed with it! The story was interesting, the choices fun, and the acting great. Then suddenly that just changes. The story becomes immensely generic, the choices make no sense to what you chose, and the characters become... well... androids. They have no emotion and you don’t care about any of them. One mission on particular is incredibly embarrassing and hard to play. That is the broadcast mission where out “hero’s” get to go be generic spy’s to get into a broadcast station to state why they should be free. Except the mission makes no sense. Why was there an Android outfit in the bathroom? Who stashed it there? How come nobody saw two androids against the windows of the building full of people? How did they get up the work elevator? How did they get all this spy crap when they have nothing at Jericho? So many things make zero sense and none of your choices matter. There’s also very little direction so you’ll spend most the mission ignoring the controls to figure out where to go. I literally let Simon die because I figured it would let me get out of the mission faster. And because I didn’t even know his name and had zero attachment to him. This mission just to lazy for me. They went for something generic and “cool” and pulled it off so embarrassingly bad. And that’s how the whole end of the game feels. I couldn’t recommend this game to anyone. It just ends up heartless and lazy after the first few hours.… Expand

    Generally OK. Even though I searched from Google for other endings and was really impressed by the plot, I am still not happy about the producers not allowing me to choose a story line to "dislike" robots.

Я не буду говорить о вещах что это самый обычный сюжет про бедных роботов которые являются рабами , я другое хочу сказать . Для меня странно что в сюжете много дыр Роботы почему-то чувствую боль когда их бьют , Конор может стать девиантном за 1 шаг , Алиса является роботом ( это единственный ребёнок робот в игре ) Само первое прохождение игры интересное , я проходил , чтобы детроиты победили . Но тут я получил концовку , что детроиты захватили город и готовы направляться дальше , что завтра будет настоящая битва иииии …. Это конец игры , да , битвы не будет . После этого меня конкретно бомбануло и я такой : « а нах это все » . И в самой игре много дыр из за разных концовок . Мне повезло , ведь я сделал такую историю без дыр , но посмотрев истории других я понял , что мне просто повезло .

The pathetic way it sometimes tries to pull your heartstrings are laughably bad, but for a lot of the time the story is pretty interesting. The sad thing that it comes down to is that the narritive just doesn't diverge enough for it to justify it's existence as a interactive story, and would this be released as a tv show on netflix I would definitely consider it to be below average. This is in part because of the bland characters and the kind of formulaic plot this story will follow given the fact that you make the choices that are the game is wanting you to. If you make a "bad" choice the outcome is so obviously awful that you really don't feel like the path you are taking is a whole different story in of itself. This is illustrated by the fact that if you make a "bad" decision the flowchart you follow just becomes less complete. Still, the animation and environments are a technical marvel. I would recommend this to people who like high concept sci-fi movies like the matrix with a descent hero's journey, but this is definitely not the game for me.… Expand

    nul, ultra cliché et prétentieux. Malgré de belles ambitions au niveau des graphismes et du nombre d'arcs narratifs, j'ai trouvé l'histoire très mauvaise avec des personnages caricaturaux et des thèmes abordés de façon beaucoup trop manichéenne pour être pris au sérieux.

    Ce jeu prends le spectateur pour un imbécile et lui impose un point de vue malgré l'illusion de choix multiples.

    This game is very interesting as to what could happen in the future of technology, but the one thing that stood out to me was the gender roles and gender attitudes.

I've noticed the female characters in the game showed more of an aggressive attitude or had anger built up when it came to the male bot characters roles. For example North the female bot, when taking on fight or flight missions she would rather commit violence and influence Marcus to do it. When you as the player choose not to do it she you decline her trust in you. I feel like female characters were over sexualized and if not over sexualized they were subjected to abuse. This is only represented with one gender when it happens to both.… Expand

    Great graphics, though utterly intolerable gameplay, so boring, I couldn't engage with it at all! I tend to persist with all games and this is one of the few that I wished I'd never bought. I just kept thinking 'who cares'. Spending time trying to work out which ways that the computer would accept to jump up to a window or onto a building etc was too dull for me.

    Quick Time Events are a large part of the game and necessary for it's play style but forcing players to swing their controls around in the air really destroys any tension created in the story.

    On top of this I would frequently not get to make a decision because my reaction time was not quick enough or I was unable to decipher what the symbol on the screen wanted me to do with the controller. On occasion missing QTEs due to dropping my controller from attempting to swing it around to hit the previous prompt. This lead to me feeling cheated out of getting to play the game, and I had no interest in going through plot points again because I messed something up. The punishment for a split second mistake is just far far to high.

    All of this would have been a moot-point if the game provided any accessibility options in the controls whatsoever.

    Ultimately I do not recommend you buy or play this game.    … Expand

    Detroit: Become Human delivers a story with a ton of possible choices, and a lot of questions for a player to bear afterward. If you like it when games make you think about them after you play them, this is the game for you. Stunning visuals and music score, make you forget about some weaker points of the game. But all in all, it is an enjoyable experience you should not miss.

    Detroit: Become Human looks and sounds great, and includes key player choices throughout, though it could have benefited greatly from a tighter script. While it’s commendable that Quantic Dream tried to cover hot-button issues in a big-budget video game, it works better when focused on the personal character moments than the bigger themes that don’t dig deep enough to make a meaningful impact.

    Although the narrative is fairly linear, there are enough branching paths over the course of the game to make it feel like your actions matter. That allows Detroit to still be fun even on multiple playthroughs – and for an interactive movie, that’s a rare praise. [Issue#231, p.68]
