    If you are person who love cool story, a lot of drama, a lot of different interesting characters - you must play that game. It is even not a game , it's more like cool interactive movie. I recommend, do not miss such games!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall it's a great game and fun to play. But I wish you had more of a choice to root for the robots or against them. And the little girl shouldn't be discovered as a robot and should have been a human instead. That really sucked when I found that out. It's like the robots can always tell each other but for some reason she couldn't detect the child was one? And it was silly that lieutenant ended up rooting for the robots.

    It's a good game and normally I don't play story sorts of games. You have so many choices in what you can do and each mission has multiple outcomes affecting how things play out giving the game a huge amount of replay-ability. A couple of things that really annoyed me is the girl turning out to be a robot! That seriously did kill that part of the story for me. It would have been far more interesting if the girl was human. The fact she is not is almost like you wanted it to be human but then shoe horned in at the last second that she's a robot.
    Another thing I didn't like is how lieutenant becomes to like the robots even know he clearly despised them. Wouldn't it be better if you had a choice in this? Like if you show no emotion then he hates robots but if you get along with him he continues to hate them? He shot you in the face and then next minute he's trying to stop you killing them? That really didn't make sense to me. If there is a way to keep him against them then I apologise but I did try and get that outcome but didn't manage to.
    I found it weird that headshots kill robots but the nurse women had nothing in her head? And also at 1 point you get shot in the head and die slowly but then in the interview room a headshot is immediate.
    Nothing major but a bit inconsistent.

    The controls aren't bad but I felt movement at times was a bit slow. Like when your looking for the robot hideout Jericho (How ever it's spelt) and you are forced to walk around really slowly. Would have be nice to have more of a fast walk or slow run. It was like this at a few times where movement felt to slow for what you were doing.

    I liked the horror sort of parts of the game like the junkyard or the house with the crazy robot and sadly I wish there were more parts like this but instead we only got 3.
    More crazy evil deviants would have be cool aswell but instead 90% of them were friendly or atleast the ones we seen but I feel like if they were inslaved then more of them would rebel with force and not peacefully.

    If you haven't played this game yet I recommend you check it out if you are into sci fi sorts of stuff. Its on PS Now aswell allowing you to stream it on PC if you don't own a playstation.    … Expand

    The game was nice. The plot is intriguing and it required some tough decisions. Though, you can lose a character easily

    I heard a lot about this game, but it really disappointed me. Yeah, i really liked the way they showed us the future, i get the resemblance and it's awesome. I find it a bad practice to divide the script into three lines cuz it's really hard to make all of them decent and that's exactly what happened in this game. I liked Connor and Hank line, but other two are dull.

    Very interesting and emotional story, but as a multiple choice and endings game expected more different outcomes because we dont expect much gameplay for a game of the genre like this.

    It is a blend of many generic themes and tropes that don't blend well due to the poor writing, and on the nose "imagery". Consequences and actions had left a staggering 85 endings to this, the only enjoyable moments were the detective sequences. other than that just a let down qte b movie

    Очень интересная игра. Я в восторге. Уверен, что в будущем буду перепроходить. Просто дело в том, что мало... Наиграл 12 часов, я бы хотел хотя бы 25. Игра - шедевр, персонажи очень сильно въедаются в сердце (Особенно Хэнк и Коннор ммм), но проходится она взахлеб за 3 дня и продолжения очень сильно не хватает. Даже не вышло никаких DLC, разрабы очень хорошую возможность упустили. МожноОчень интересная игра. Я в восторге. Уверен, что в будущем буду перепроходить. Просто дело в том, что мало...

Игра - шедевр, персонажи очень сильно въедаются в сердце (Особенно Хэнк и Коннор ммм), но проходится она взахлеб за 3 дня и продолжения очень сильно не хватает. Даже не вышло никаких DLC, разрабы очень хорошую возможность упустили. Можно было бы выпустить спин-оффы всякие. Про создателя основателя киберлайф, про Хэнка того же, но увы и ах. Еще и эта незаконченность.. Очень интересно было наблюдать ситуацию вокруг Антарктиды, но вдруг бац, вывели войска, конец. Про будущее персонажей тоже ничего не известно. Все оканчивается просто на конце геймплея. Какого-нибудь разъяснения или кат-сцены, где было рассказывалось о будущем главных героев нет. Мне бы, например, очень интересно было бы узнать, как там троица в Канаде новую жизнь строит. Или что там с Коннором и его отношениями с Хэнком, но этого всего нет. Додумывать мне не хочется, я хочу увидеть мысли сценаристов по этому поводу. Обидно. Но твердая семерка, три балла отнял только за несколько лорных дыр, краткость и неполную раскрытость персов.… Expand

    The story is fantastic and the graphics are breathtaking, but everyone giving this a 10/10 is definitely ignoring the biggest flaw of the game: its gameplay.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    *Following a replay, I've lowered my score from 9 to 7. Still a great game for sure but it made me aware of how Connor and Hank literally carry the intrigue of the whole game.

    This game without a doubt sets the bar for what a choice and consequence game should be. The amount of possible parts to take in this is absolutely dizzying, and you truly feel like everything you do matters.    *Following a replay, I've lowered my score from 9 to 7.

    The mocap and graphics are, to this day, totally jaw-dropping. New games coming out nowadays by AAA companies don't look this good. It's almost breathtaking.
    Connor and Hank, I must say, absolutely carry this game. Their chapters are exciting, their dynamic is fantastic, and their relationship (depending on what choices you make) is so worth exploring.
    Kara and Alice's sections are heartfelt and meaningful, though they contribute little to the overall plot.
    Marcus' sections for me dip ever so slightly, just because his chapters feel long and a little boring compared to Connor's. That's not to take away from what is an incredible game, with honestly endless replayability. It's addictive and exciting and I hope we see a sequel in the future!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a wonderfully polished experience, and I really, really wanted to like it, but towards the end, everything became so disjointed that you destroy any attachment created to the characters. Split-second decisions for multiple conflicting storylines and incredibly random qtes lead to an exit you didn't wish for, and it feels SO frustrating. Shame...

    And the story, while it started well, the events happening felt forced and often nonsensical. Marcus didn't do anything to become the leader, he just kind of stumbled upon it, and everyone around him instantly agreed, "he is our guy". Kara and Alice ran the whole time, but outside of being incredibly depressing, nothing of note actually happened. The worse of it all was how incredibly predictable the story was if you managed to steer it properly. At the start felt engaging, while towards the end was just a drag that I really wanted to see over. I had plans to explore various missed connections that evaporated the moment I saw the end credits.    … Expand

    História muito bem executada, faz a crítica ao possível futuro, apresenta e desenvolve com alto nível os personagens. Eu pessoalmente me importava com os personagens e não queria que eles morressem.
    A parte mais legal dos jogos da quantic dream são as ramificações, e realmente, nesse jogo, pareceu ter muitos caminhos diferentes pra seguir (eu só zerei uma vez, então não sei ao certo).

Mit DetroitAn Spielen von David Cage scheiden sich seit jeher die Geister. Von den einen als zu melodramatisch und zu wenig Spiel kritisiert, von den anderen für die tolle Inszenierung und bewegenden Inhalte hoch gelobt. Auch Detroit Become Human spaltet die Lager wieder entsprechend. Dabei muss man attestieren, dass die lange Produktionszeit des Titels sich für Quantic Dream gelohnt hat. Mit Detroit liefern sie ihren bisher besten und rundesten Teil ihrer interaktiven Thriller Spiele ab. Gerade auch hinsichtlich der Spielelemente bietet Detroit deutlich mehr Potential als sein Vorgänger wie Heavy Rain oder Beyond two Souls. Die vermutlich aber wesentlichste Weiterentwicklung der Quantic Dream Formel ist aber, dass wir als Spieler nun nach jedem Kapitel der Erzählung einsehen können, welchen Lösungsweg wir gewählt, und welche Alternativen wir möglicherweise verpasst haben. Gerade was den Wiederspielwert bietet Detroit so nochmal ein völlig anderes Potential als seine Vorgänger. Was man aber auch sagen muss, und das trotz der vielen Neuerungen die das Spiel bietet - die Formel von Quantic Dream Spielen geht in Zeiten von The Last of Us oder Death Stranding lange nicht mehr so gut auf, wie noch zur PS3 Ära. Irgendwie erwartet man am Ende doch mehr an Spielelementen. Andere cineastische Spiele bieten dies ja auch. Gerade auch frustige Quicktime Events um ein lineares Video voran zu treiben, das wirkt heute verstaubt und altbacken. Detroit ist vermutlich David Cages bestes Spiel, aber als Spiel kann es heute nicht mehr wirklich mit anderen großen Produktionen konkurrieren.… Expand

    The pacing is quite awful in this game in some areas. Some chapters are painfully slow. However the choice variety is excellent. Dialogue is sometimes hit or miss. The overall story and situations the player finds themselves in is pretty great as well.

    I played this game when it came out on ps now in March 2021. And i tried to play it again and i can't lie i couldn't get through it. Horrendous i mean laughably bad acting and poorly written characters manages to rival Beyond Two Souls and Make Heavy Rain look like Shakespeare.

    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]
