    It's one of my favorite games on ps4. It's amazingly done and every aspect of it is great. Of course people who generally don't enjoy this kind of games won't like this one too. But for this genre it's the best game yet. I've played through the whole game 2 times already and still am playing chapters to see all the possible paths, which are many.

    Graphics are beautiful, one of the best to date. Main characters and their back-stories are interesting, all the side characters ale well done too.
    The plot is really good - we have straight strong motivations, places where we want to end up, and we have trouble along the way. It's not a kind of story with crazy plot-twists etc. It's an emotional story about finding identity and freedom. I can recommend it to anyone who likes this kind of topics.    … Expand

    This is the best game I have played in a long time and think there should be a spin off game or a number two of this game. Highly recommend to anyone who loves option based games.

    Easily one of the best experiences on the PS4. I say experience, because this game is more of a movie than a freaking game, but that's not exactly a complaint!

    If you’re looking for a game that matches up to ‘Heavy Rain’ or ‘Until Dawn’.. and then surpasses all expectations in terms of butterfly effect and game choices and endings, this is the game for you. The plot has moments where it falls short, and the slavery/holocaust analogies are a little in your face, but the general concept and content is excellent.

    The characters are well thought out: Connor, Markus and some of the NPCs stealing the show. Lara’s character and plot is a little irritating on the second play through (and beyond), but that is simply because she has less dimensions than the two male leads. It doesn’t help that her plot is not intrinsic to the overarching story, where Markus and Connor’s are. She carries the ‘civilian’ experience of a civil war, so while her journey is emotional, it’s not for everyone. I found her story to bring the enjoyment of the game down. For what it’s worth, I found Connor and Markus’ scenes much more enjoyable, with an emotive experience, and Connor’s plot definitely trumps the whole experience. All in, an excellent game. I’m on my fifth play through and I still have a good 30-40% of gameplay still left to view.    … Expand

    Amazing game... the story is so emotional and dramatic, I cried several times! All the characters are likable, and the graphics are amazing. The best feature of this game of course is the fact that your actions have consequences, and I played through the game a good 6 times to try out different paths and outcomes and wasn't disappointed... it was the best game of the year 2018 for me!

Tonally, Detroit Become Human us somewhere between Westworld and an episode of Black Mirror.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Detroit Become human is a fascinating game filled with beloved characters and new twists and turns each chapter. There is a lot of story writing errors though, for examples, not explaining what rA9 is. I think the writer left it to the players to decide what it could be, but that just ends up leaving many confused. Also, Alice was a android the whole time was a good idea, but the writer made a few mistakes on details that didn't make sense on why Alice did human things like eat and need sleep if she was an android. But a handful of errors does not takeaway the fact that as a whole, Detroit is a great game. My favorite parts are when you are Connor, I love to solve mysteries and anyone who is a fan of mysteries might find these chapters to be a lot of fun. Replay value for me was slim, I got bored trying to replay the game being a violent deviant since most of the story is the same, just different endings per chapter. I wish there was a skip option for any cutscenes that you've done before. I loved heavy rain and any fans of that game will like this one as well. Graphics are good and will age well overtime unlike heavy rain and beyond two souls. Can't wait to see the future games of Quantic Dreams… Expand

    This game is awesome, the number of decisions and outcomes you can get is insane. I don't know why people say the replay value is zero, I finished the game four times and in all of them I got different endings. It's nothing like reaching the endgame and having to choose between two options while all the other decisions you made through the game affect little to nothing on the ending (like MANY games of this genre do). Every decision on D:BH counts, even the little ones can greatly change you story. Replaying the game to take different paths is something you should totally do.

    Easily one of the best games of 2018. Well done, Quantic Dream!    … Expand

    - Visually, it's one of the best looking games I've seen on the PS4. Animations, lighting and the detail are just top notch and you will want to just take in how beautiful some of the environments look.
    -All three characters are interesting and I felt compelled to keep them alive and see how their story ends.
    -The options given to you do have an impact on the story as you progress and it does feel like the outcome weights on your shoulders.
    -Quick time events in the game, while I'm not a huge fan of QTE overall, are manageable in the game especially compared to Beyond Two Souls
    -Soundtrack is good and matches the story and tone
    -The main menu of the game is pretty cool as it is an android interacting with you

    CONS
    -Some chapters don't have much in terms of branching out and are simply chapters to get from A to B.
    -While this isn't an open world game, there are times you can't cross the street without going across a crossing path which means there are invisible barriers blocking you from roaming freely
    -The game can be completed in roughly ten to 11 hours so it's relatively short. However if you want to unlock all endings and paths, game play time will increase

    Overall, this is a game that has an interesting story and makes you wonder about the possibilities technology has to offer going forward. Could we really go to far to the point that technology overtakes us and machines develop consciousness?    … Expand

    I find it astounding that a game such as this was actually made - concepts go as far back as 2013, meaning that some middle managers fought hard to get this game made, remade, polished and finally released.

    The writing is worthy of a favorite TV series or book - kudos to all involved. I really have no time to play games right now, but I stole every moment I could to further progress.

The Characters, the music, the graphics, everything is done so well.

    The Story is the reason why you'll be playing. You can tell that this concept has been tackled dozens of times before from previous works like I robot or Metropolis, but this game executes it in a way that's much more refreshing and interesting. Usually when a game claims to have the ability to let you choose your own story and make how you want it based on your actions it tends to basically be more of an illusion of choice where they tell the story they want to tell with your actions having minor affect (looking at you, Telltale games) but this game actually has several well fleshed out paths that change the story DRASTICALLY. Your characters can die (both playable and secondary) leaving you with dire situations actually feeling DIRE (movies can't build up this much tension because of the fact that you can actually loose the characters you love) And seeing how your actions affect the characters and story is just a treat each time you play. There are three main characters of whom you control, each leading their own different but connected stories. Just saying it now, Markus is the most bland of the bunch, but that just means that you don't have enough reason to like him because the other characters are just so fleshed out.

    The graphics are amazing, as is each game that QuanticDreams comes out with. The faces and expressions are amazingly photorealistic most of the time (there are time when their mouths could definitely be done better, but these are done better than most other games) I only wish the body movements were on par with the faces. They aren't BAD per se, but they aren't to the same degree as the faces, which can be noticeable at times, so by comparison they just look a bit lax.

    The gameplay is geared towards maximum story telling, so don't expect anything like the newest God of War or anything. It's made for the purpose of the story leading the game, but the gameplay still stands out as pretty darn impressive regardless, playing as a detective robot and finding all the little secret nooks and crannies that are available is just downright fun. The controls, although generally tight enough to for the game's purposes, can sometimes be a little fidgety, causing your character to sometimes do things that aren't at all what you were telling them to do, which can lead to frustration as they especially love going wonky in high stress situations in the story where accuracy and speed are key. Other than that, the gameplay is tight and great. It's nowhere near as bad as Beyond Two Souls.

    The music is like that of a blockbuster hit; it's just amazing, and keeps the situation tense when it is supposed to be tense, and emotional when it's supposed to be emotional, and the like.

    The only reason you shouldn't play this game is if you don't like great stories and character development, in which case I'm sure there's a mindless shooter like Fortnite or something for you around somewhere.    … Expand

    You know, I've unfortunately had to train myself to not get extremely excited for Quantic Dream's games these days.

Sure, "Heavy Rain" is still a game I absolutely adored, flaws and all, and I still call it a "flawed masterpiece," one of the few games where I can look past the problems and still absolutely love it, but unfortunately, Quantic Dream followed up their "flawed masterpiece" with "Beyond: Two Souls," a game that was no masterpiece, but it was certainly flawed. And I had my skepticisms going into "Detroit: Become Human." Sure, the story looked more focused, but the gameplay looked very similar to the company's previous titles, so this game's success rested solely with the story. Would "Detroit" be able to win me over in a way that "Beyond" was unable to? Well, fortunately, yes!
    "Detroit: Become Human," as it should be obvious, looks visually brilliant. Quantic Dream's first PS4 adventure is gorgeously designed, and it's a game that actually makes uncanny valley look good. The gameplay, while similar in ways to their previous titles, is more streamlined and easy-to-follow, and I'd even argue that the game sets a new gold standard for choice-based gameplay. This is shown in the flowchart, which shows you exactly how many options there are in the game, and while some have said it ruins the pace for them, I didn't mind it, and I found that, with it showing you how many paths you can take, the game beg for replays. On top of that, I find the narrative in this game to be the best of any of the Quantic Dream games. Maybe it's because I'm judging on my first play, but I feel like there weren't as many gapingly obvious plot holes here, and luckily the story says focused on one unified idea: androids in Detroit, all hoping for survival in a world where they are constantly discriminated against. And while some have criticized the somewhat heavy-handed approach it takes to historical themes, I personally found a lot of the subtle social commentary and allegories to be quite fascinating. Beyond that, the characters are compelling and unforgettable, and they're led by incredible performances, with standouts being the trio of Jesse Williams, Valorie Curry, and Bryan Dechart.
    There are a few minor flaws that do stop the game from being a 10 out of 10 from me. For one, the controls can be a bit difficult at times. The Quick-Time Events are fine, but sometimes movement can be a bit awkward, and it can be nerve-wracking when movement is integral to a character's survival. On top of that, as I said earlier, the game does follow a style of gameplay very similar to "Heavy Rain" and "Beyond: Two Souls" (with the addition of some neat scanning and analyzation aspects here and there). Now, while I personally don't mind that, I do know that their style of gameplay (the "interactive drama," if you will) is VERY polarizing, so I do feel like, if you haven't been into their style of gameplay before, this may not change your mind (unless, of course, the story fascinates you).
    Even so, flaws aside, "Detroit: Become Human" is an excellent title that fully re-establishes Quantic Dream as a company to watch for. It's nice to see them deliver a really great game on the PlayStation 4, and even if the wait for the game was long (QD first announced they were making a PS4 game back in 2013), the wait was worth it. It's bound to be polarizing, much like everything else the company makes, but I think it's a wonderful game that's definitely well-worth trying for yourself.

Music, acting and plot are also a great delight to eyes and ears.

    This is a huge step up from beyond two souls in terms of narrative and gameplay wise it greatly improves on heavy rain in terms of its smooth controls. You have to expect though that this game is primarily story driven. So don't buy it expecting lots of shooting or car chases.

Detroit is a game created by the aggressively French David Cage and like all his other games if you are expecting fast paced action or a    "OMG this game suks. I cant run or shoot things.

    SILENCE INFIDELS.
    Detroit is very much a video game and while no it is not the type of game you see every day that does not make it bad just... different. Detroit is a game created by the aggressively French David Cage and like all his other games if you are expecting fast paced action or a 40-hour story then you done F-ed up. Cage's games are made so that the player immerses themselves in the world and tries not to break immersion even for mundane task. His previous works include Heavy Rain (Great game with issues) and Beyond Two Souls (terrible game with issues). Detroit is his latest work and is the most technically improved game yet.

    1. Graphics - Starting with the games biggest strong point is its graphics. Everything is stunning from the facial animations to the cityscapes to the thread count on the characters jackets. Things look as close to photo realistic in this game as they could be. My wife not knowing I was playing a game walked by during a cutscene and thought i was watching an episode of greys anatomy cause of Jesse Williams. Visuals cant be beat.

    2. Story. The story is good but not great. This is a good setting and premise but there are alot a political boxes checked off that break immersion because you are slapped in the face by slavery allegories or "hands up dont shoot" references. This game was definitely written for the USA political climate of 2018. I dont know if it will age well but I can say as i was playing the game I enjoyed it. If you try to think to hard about all the real world politics involved THAT is what will make you enjoy the game less. If you sit down and enjoy the story for what it is with all the chases, heist, investigations, and daring escapes then you will have a good time. Remember its a game; have fun.

    Main characters are the games strong suits. I loved Kara and her maternal instincts, Marcus was alittle stiff but I attribute that more to Jesse Williams than to the writing (Sorry Jesse). My favorite character was Brian Decharts Connor. He and Clancy Brown made an awesome duo.

    3. Mechanics. The mechanics were not that of an average video game. This is not an action game so I wish people would stop criticizing it for not being. What it is and an amalgam for and old point and click adventure and quick time events mixed with story driven choose your own adventure dialogue. In other words its very David Cage. The mechanics were alot smoother than in his previous games and while I do wish the characters could sprint sometimes when going from point A to B i am not complaining because the whole game has been carefully crafted for presentation.

    Conclusion: 10/10 when I appreciate it for what it is. Must Buy

    The photo-realistic graphics and incredible voice/motion performances from experienced actors greatly contribute to the presentation as well, surpassing or matching recent games such as God of War in those departments. Jesse Williams, Valorie Curry and Bryan Dechart played their roles perfectly, breathing life into these robotic characters.

    Others often criticize Quantic Dream games for their plots and gameplay. I will say that the writing in Detroit is much better than Heavy Rain's, but the gameplay in this one takes a backseat to Heavy Rain. With that said, the relentless criticism of Quantic Dreams' game plots and gameplay is dismissive of how far ahead they are from other developers in many other aspects. People should know by now that Quantic Dream is not in the business of making traditional games.

    While I could continuously refute claims, let me go with the actual flaws that keep the game from being perfect.

    - Odd locomotion
    Sometimes, your character will deem it necessary to spin around like a Beyblade when you try to go through a small space.

    - Choices
    While most of the time your choices matter, there are quite a few inconsequential choices that have almost no bearing on the result of the story. It's just kind of irritating, though to the game's credit, these inconsequential decisions only come into play during filler conversations.

    - Questionable QTEs
    Something that I noticed universally, not just from my playthrough but from several let's plays, is that some actions can confuse those that don't play fighting games. I say this unironically, because quanticdream seemed to take advice from BlazBlue and throw in half-circles. Another issue is the motion control tracking. It's relatively iffy at times, and I sometimes ended up nearly dropping the controller because I had to practically throw my body in one direction for the motion to pick up.

    These issues are, in my opinion, what turns Detroit from a perfect narrative experience to an amazing narrative experience. If you have a PS4, buy it ASAP. It's well worth the money, in my opinion.    … Expand

    Detroit: Become Human is by far the deepest and most innovative game from developer Quantic Dream. The amount of effort that has been put into the tiniest details is simply astounding.

The amount of effort that has been put into the tiniest details is simply astounding. All of the three main characters - and almost all secondary characters are completely unique and interesting in their own way. No character has just one dimension. The story is excellently crafted and deals with topics that few dare discuss today. I can't remember the last game that made me question my decisions as much as this game. You always wonder what you could have caused/prevented if you acted differently. The game is one of the best looking on PS4 and the soundtracks in this game really add to the immersion of the characters you play. I applaud Quantic Dream for their extremely hard work and for them to create this masterpiece of a narrative. There is never a dull moment and you always want more. I sincerely hope to see Quantic Dream continue these kinds of games - Detroit: Become Human is one of the best examples of why story-driven games are superior to online experiences only. I can't wait to play through the game again to experience it all over - even if I end up making the same choices as before - It's THAT good.… Expand

    The game has a wonderful '' neo - noir '' atmosphere. If you have to remember, this is still an interactive film. Limited in terms of control, but a nice experience. Thank you Quantic Dream.

    I liked the game more than I thought I would. The story feels familiar and could be quite predictable if not for the choices that impact your progression.

    Truly a masterpiece, one of the best story ever written for a video game. It is so rich and complex it takes several runs to explore it. I've been playing video games for more than 30 years and this one touched my soul like no other.

    En cuanto a la duración estamos entre 11 y 12 horas de juego ( yendo a por la historia sin repetir nuevas posibilidades ), corto a mi parecer, pero la experiencia de juego es muy emocionante, mas que un juego parece una novela gráfica. La trama se desarrolla alrededor de tres personajes, Kara, Connor y Markus, los tres son androides los cuales buscarán su lugar en el mundo con la visión de cada personaje. La peculiaridad del título es que con cada protagonista tendremos múltiples posibilidades para elegir, dándote a escoger diferentes opciones con sus respectivas conclusiones, todas diferentes. Contiene una buena banda sonora. Hay poco gameplay ya que en el 80% son cinemáticas, aún así es toda una experiencia. Buenos personajes, con mucho carisma, buena actuación de los tres protagonistas. Detroit un titulo que me ha gustado mucho, por eso le pongo el 9 sobre 10 ( comparándolo con juegos de su plataforma, PS4 ). Mi vigésima crítica u/o review.    … Expand

    Two games dominated my year in 2018: Far Cry 5, and Detroit: Become Human. People can dump on David Cage all they want, but- and I say this as someone who's played his games before, I know there are valid criticisms of his writing abilities- he definitely has a winner with this one.

    Like I said, having played Quantic Dream Games before, I know how hammy the acting and dialogue can be.    Two games dominated my year in 2018: Far Cry 5, and Detroit: Become Human.

    Like I said, having played Quantic Dream Games before, I know how hammy the acting and dialogue can be. But D:BH really came off as realistic- a hammy line here or there, but it's nothing glaring. The characters are excellent (though I wish the game was longer so they could explore some of them more) and the story was beautiful.

    Like Until Dawn, D:BH does a great job at throwing some unexpected consequences into your butterfly-effect choices. Sometimes the consequences to your choices are predictable, and sometimes they're not. Keeps you on edge and really hoping your characters don't end up dead.

    Great game. One of my all-time favorites.    … Expand

Detroit should become the example to be followed by Quantic Dream in their future endevours in this amazing genre! I didn't feel the quick time events as being quick time events, actually feeling the emotions of the scene most of the time instead of just pressing buttons. Three protagonists worked well, not being four too many like Heavy Rain or just two or one like Fahrenheit and Beyond Two Souls. And there was no supernatural over the top moments totally changing the atmosphere of the game like on the first and third games. It's a must play!… Expand

    This game make me emotive a lot of time. Lot of stress and hopness..
    The story are soo good and real( no gun who appears from nothing like Rambo).
    living in the fear to fail. In the question of morality.

    But..the reality: one day, this will happen and we will have to deal with it.

    I always wanted to be a cops.. soo this game was really immersive. How Would I deal with it?

    It's the best game they Quantic Dream have done yet.

    Story was interesting and you keep wanting to know what happens next. Sometimes of course you will find somethings predictable but it wasn't big enough to make you cringe.

    Gameplay wise it's follow the same way as the other games but much smoother, the controls feels really good, where in the other games it could feel clumsy at times.

    Detroit: Become Human is a stellar accomplishment in video game storytelling with stellar production values across the board, sharp visually driven direction and top notch acting.

It's also the best writing of a Quantic Dream game to date, with a lot less of that awkward 'French to English' overcompensation problem that we saw in previous games. The gameplay is more refined than any previous game in their library too, offering a greater variety of scenarios and types of scenes to interaction with. And these are the strongest lead characters for a QD game as they all have clear goals, motivations, distinct characteristics and memorable moments to make their stories resonate. Major props especially to Connor, who I want to be a real character just to bounce off conversations with! I only had a few minor but not major issues with movement controls now and then, but that's the only thing I had any issues.

    A lot of reviews will point out how it is a very familiar civil rights story, but, while they are not exactly wrong, they are ignoring that ultimately execution is what matters in making a good story. We see these stories all the time and usually they're praised for being bold or daring (especially if it's a 'trendy' topic). Yet somehow this game doesn't merit the same praise because of people's backlash to David Cage and because of topics it didn't discuss that are not even relevant to this story (sorry, but race doesn't really matter much to synthetic lifeforms since they are in themselves their own race). I feel it is intellectually dishonest the way some critics have bashed this game as clumsy for not meeting some imaginary bar by those critics. It can only be judged as what it is and what I personally feel is that it is a new benchmark for cinematic driven games that has lingered with me long after I played it.    … Expand

Музыка идеально задаёт тон повествованию, режиссура умело жонглирует ракурсами и лучшими приёмами кинематографа, а витиеватость сюжета оставляет огромной простор для выбора игрока.

    Detroit относится к той категории игр, которая держит тебя у экрана до самого конца, а после прохождения оставляет легкую пустоту в душе. Пустоту оттого, что новую игру в жанре интерактивного кино подобного уровня ждать придётся слишком долго. А Дэвид Кейдж, как ни крути, единственный ремесленник своего дела, способный забраться так глубоко в душу игрока.

I never found it in other games that have the same genre like this one. However, the major drawbacks from this game are plot hole and too clear choices. Yes, it has some plot holes (for DLC maybe?) that need to be explained but I won't write it here, just play it by yourself! The next weakness from Detroit is about choices. I found it often too clear between good and bad choices, between positive/negative choices. I think we need a "grey" choice in order to make the player's feeling more connected to the in game story itself. For instance, The witcher 3 story. I found no good or bad choices from TW3, there are only choices and its consequences. TW3 often makes me feel dilemma whenever I faced some choices. As a result, I could feel the connection between myself and the story. Good job Quantic Dreams!… 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]
