    This is honestly one of the best games I have ever played. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and have already replayed it twice. Choices really impact the story. The acting is incredible and I loved all three characters (although Kara was my favorite). I could not recommend this game more.

As with all Quantic Dream outings, there will always be those who fall on the opposite side of my opinion.. which in this case would be disagreement with the following statement. Detroit: Become Human is yet ANOTHER masterpiece from the studio. It’s harsh and emotional, powerful, impactful, unforgiving, strangely topical, beautiful, sweeping and yet somehow achingly personal.... I’ll have to play through a few more times to see if it truly rivals HEAVY RAIN as the jewel in their crown, but my gut feeling right now says yes. The narrative is truly anchored in its three main performances , but is boosted further by powerful secondary leads as well. The graphics are as beautiful as anything I’ve ever seen, especially on the PS4Pro. The score is moving and fitting. The cinematography is gorgeous and absolutely makes up for the lack of camera control by the player. These games have always (purposely) blurred the line between “film” & “game”. This is no different. Do not go in expecting that. If you think this sounds interesting, give it a shot. I promise you’ll be as taken by the narrative and delivery as I was for over 10 hours. RA9 will save us. Expand

    Loved it! I know that it's a "cliche" concept, but I believe Detroit: Become Human perfected the android trope.

    There is no dramatic battle.
    But stories, background music, character settings, acting, directing, and World outlook are perfect.
    This is the most impressive game I've ever played.

    Detroit: Become Human DBH is a neo-noir thriller set in the near-future city of Detroit. A masterful piece of art with a deep and very moving story. I love how deep it is, it's mindblowing how many outcomes you can get based on your choices. The characters are very well developed and with a great storyline.

    The soundtrack is a masterpiece in its own. In my opinion, the best game soundtrack ever made for a game, it's just perfect. Do yourself a game and buy this game. Amazing,

    I really enjoyed playing this game despite having a ho-hum reaction to prior QuanticDreams titles (Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls). I found myself not wanting to stop and when I did have to stop I found myself thinking about the decisions I made and decisions that were yet to be made.

    There are plenty of reviews which praise the graphics or the gameplay, so I want to take a slightly more philosophical view in this review. This will be a bit lengty, so bear with me.

    Looking back at the time spent playing Detroit: Become Human, I would have to say my biggest complaint with the game is that there's just no subtlety in the way the conflict between Android and Humans is portrayed.

    With exception to the one chapter between Android Markus and his Human owner Karl, every Human/Android interaction is negative or abusive. Even as you walk down the street you see Human owners verbally and physically abusing their Android helpers. When interacting directly with Humans as Kara, Connor, or Markus, there's always a sneer or an underlying skepticism, no matter how peaceful or normal you act.

    The closest we get to a positive Human/Android interaction is the relationship between Lieutenant Hank Anderson and Connor. But that starts off very abusive and only turns into a positive experience if Connor makes the right set of decisions.

    The game bludgeons the player with this situation where Humans are complete garbage towards Androids. Anyone with a single shred of empathy would side with freeing the Androids given the situation as presented.

    Additionally, when Markus begins freeing the Androids and granting them free will, all of them follow him without question. Not a single one of them makes the decision to stay with their Human owners. Historically we know this is inaccurate and in all cases where a group is oppressed there are some who feel loyal enough (or otherwise compelled) to stay with their oppressors. Not a single Android in Detroit: Become Human does this, not even when Markus explicitly offers the choice. Except as a vague "Public Opinion" meter, no Humans among the general public support the Androids' cause throughout the course of the game, even when the Androids protest peacefully. No Android/Human collaboration. No Humans marching with Androids in their own version of Android Lives Matter. The game pits Humans on one side and Androids on the other.

    I feel like the situation was too binary where the player's only real choice was to determine if the Androids would end up as bad as, or better than, the Humans. Maybe that was the point of the exercise but having the sides aligned as either/or muted the overall message, in my opinion.

    Otherwise, this was a fantastic story where I felt compelled to play through it completely three times and reload varying checkpoints to see different endings another three beyond that. I hesitate to say it's a $60 value but it's definitely worth picking up and playing multiple times. I'm torn between an 8 and a 9, so for the purposes of Metacritic I'm rounding down to an 8, but would give it a solid 8.5 if I could do half scores.

    The world of Detroit is utterly beautiful. This game should be GOTY. The writing is on par with any modern television show or movie that gets rave reviews. While QD’s previous titles were all great games, Detroit is in a league of its own. Each character’s storyline was engaging, but Bryan Dechart especially knocked it out of the park as Connor. His chemistry with Clancy Brown is undeniable.

The three protagonists; Connor, Kara, and Markus are all very interesting and have great stories. Some of the games greatest strengths are how well it fleshes out the story of its world, Detroit, and how it presents the city. The presentation of this game is on another level. The cinematography, the graphics and facial detail on all the character models are some of the best in gaming. Where the game really shines though is in its choices and branching storylines. The game has an enormous range of choices and outcomes, meaning you will most likely have a very different experience from other players. There are multiple endings, you can save all the characters, let them all die, or any combination in between. Its greatest weakness is in some of its endings. Odds are if you get one of the bad endings, you will not be satisfied with it. But thats okay, because the game is designed for you to replay it and make different choices to see how things could have played out differently. If you achieve one of the good endings, the story is much more rewarding and satisfying. In the end, if you come into the game expecting an immersive character driven story with fantastic presentation and player choice, you will be blown away. Expand

Throughout the story, you face challengesDetroit: Become Human is an adventure game made by Quantic Dream that follows the lives of Connor, Markus, and Kara who are androids created by CyberLife. Connor's sole purpose is to bring down androids that have become deviant; Markus is out to show the world that androids are living beings; and Kara only wants to live her life and have a family. Throughout the story, you face challenges and choices that will mold what type of android that character becomes. These characters can also live or die by your choices if you choose to play on the experienced difficulty.

    When playing Connors story, you get teamed up with Lt. Anderson and have to work together to solve deviant cases. Anderson is not particularly fond of androids and it is up to the player to decide if they want to try to change that or not. Regardless of what you choose, your mission is to find the leader of the deviant androids and take him down. Markus is an android that lived a simple life before it got turned upside down by some unfortunate events. After these events Markus finds a deviant safe haven, Jericho, and decides he will no longer live his life staying quiet. North, Josh, and Simon are androids that Markus enlist to help him with his cause. Working as a team, you four will ultimately decide which path Markus will go down; peace or violence. Kara is an android owned by Todd Williams who tasks Kara with keeping the house clean and watching after his daughter, Alice. Playing as Kara seems straightforward until her conscience awakens and you realize that Alice's living situation is not a safe one. Kara decides that Todd has become too out of control and flees the home with Alice. It is at this point that Kara realizes that she has to find a way to start a life and keep Alice safe.

    Detroit: Become Human has things I liked and disliked about it. The things I liked were the in-game choices, the story, and the acting. This game has many choices you can make throughout the story that will have different effects on each character. Someone disliking you or you making a choice that ends your characters life are a few examples. These choices enhanced the story experience because you don't know what your choices will have an effect on at that moment and sometimes you get surprised later down the road. These choices are also delivered by some great actors who gave great performances. Most of the time I found myself being moved by the characters words and emotions. That is why I enjoy Detroit: Become Human's story so much.

    Some things I did not like were the controls and some of the dialogue responses. There were times when I would find my character getting stuck on the smallest object and have trouble when trying to do small turnarounds. Another control issue was when trying to complete half circles. When trying to do them, they would register sometimes but seemed to have an issue of you tried to do them too fast. Luckily this was not too much of an issue because half circles did not come up during quick time events. Even though the acting is great in this game, there were some times when the dialogue seemed too scripted. A couple of times I can remember are from the beginning of the game. When Connor tells Daniel he is not lying and when Emma denies Daniel's accusation. These dialogue responses were too different from what was going on that it took me out of the moment. Despite these two issues it did not ruin the game for me.

    Detroit: Become Human is a great game to play if you are looking for a customizable story with multiple endings and playstyles. Although I did run across some issues, I was able to play through it because they were not too hindering. Overall, I liked the game and will continue playing until I get all flowchart options unlocked. I recommend picking up the game if you are looking for something enjoyable to play or if you are a fan of Quantic Dream games.

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.

These deviant Androids start a revolution seeking out freedom and equal rights.
    Detroit Become Human is a wonderful game where based on your choices, people can live or die, Androids can revolt peacefully or with aggression. The story is so far the best that has come out of Quantic Dream. The graphics are amazing too even though they were pretty amazing with Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls. I love the soundtrack to this game. It is amazing. With having the multiple choices you can explore the different sides of the story.
    I have been playing this game since it came out and it has captured my attention and my heart. The game is wonderfully designed and has brought all different emotions out in me. It is the best game from Quantic Dream yet and I suggest people try it out even for one playthrough just to get people thinking.

    This was my first David Cage game, so I can't speak to whether or not there was a lot of repetition from other games, but all I can say is that the environments are amazingly detailed, the graphics are great, the storyline is pretty good, the soundtrack is above average, and there is replayability.

    Imagine everything in your life that you have ever said to anyone compound into levels of political or philosophical importance until, three years later, you're the one who caused the nuclear war because you told your boss to choke on a banana and die.

    I'm being a bit dramatic, but so is Detroit: Become Human, and that's not particularly a bad thing. The game has flaws, absolutely; at times, writing can be weak, narrative themes can be thrown out the window, and sometimes, something is said when it was more fitting to deafen the audience with silence. But, a game doesn't have to be narratively perfected all the time to still be good, and that's what Detroit: Become Human is. Its three main characters were fleshed out -- some, however, more than others -- but the lack of expanding on each character, I think, was due to the limitations of choice. You could decide to be merciful or murderous, but both can't remain in the same character, so some leniancy on their motives and emotions must be taken.

    The biggest asset of the game is choice. You can choose to ruin the world or to save it. You can choose whose side you're on, who's right and wrong, and so forth. You can be the villain or not.

    But whatever you do, save the fish.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played all of David Cages games from Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls and now to Detroit. Detroit Become Human has interesting characters, Kara, Connor and Markus each has their own personalities and the new schematic theme after each level is played to see where you are and what you did to achieve the outcome is a good touch. The graphics are relatively good though not great. I understand the game is a noir but it is just a bit too dark. I also think that some of the subject matter that Cage tries to address is out of his realm of understanding. The basic story line pits humans against androids, and while Cage tries to hit on some pretty deep subjects such as slavery, civil rights, civil war, human rights I think he really misses the mark.Setting the game in the US city of Detroit Michigan is also problematic. Cage isn't an American so I feel he is trying to address social issues in America that he doesn't understand. Some of the scenes are also disturbing, With Kara and Alice in one model of the game in what is basically a concentration camp at the end of the game and lined up with other androids to be destroyed, I think Cage is trying to capture the horror of the Holocaust but he really misses the mark in that stream. Kara and Alice also seem destined to death whether in the consecration camps or getting all the way to the Canadian border where they meet up with Rose and her son again only to make it to the boarder crossing and to be gunned down because they are androids really makes those characters sad and difficult to play. Connor while trying to hunt deviant androids and helping detective Hank an alcoholic cop has some engaging moments but isn't realistic in its portrayal of a conflicted android as he hunts deviants. Markus ends up being an educated android who ends up deactivated through in many cases no fault of his own in the scene with the old mans son you are only given two options push the son or don't and either way Markus ends up dead and you end up in the junk yard rebuilding him. He is the leader of the rebellion of the androids but Cage didn't do his homework on the civil rights movement or slavery for this game.It has moments of being preachy but Cage obviously dosen't understand the fight of the true civil rights movement in America. The overall game play can be tedious and as a disabled person with hand issues due to MS having to in some cases press three to four different buttons while moving the joysticks makes the game difficult to play. I understand that Microsoft is coming out with a controller for handicapped people for their Xbox platform I wish Sony would do the same. All in all, the game has it's moments but there is no levity in the game no humor it takes itself very seriously and that makes the game less enjoyable then Beyond Two Souls, Heavy Rain had little levity as well but there needs to be some humor even when dealing with heavy subject matter. As an author I write a lot of heavy subject matter in my noir novels but I also ALWAYS interject humor you have to have it people just can't deal with constant negatives in novels or game play. So, I think that Cage was trying to do something here but missed the mark by about forty years. He would have been better suited dealing with more current social issues then to take the player back to 1955. There is plenty of unrest and social issues being dealt with in America and abroad today if he had addressed those the game would be much better. So I give it eight stars I should probably have given it five but I added a few for his effort. If you like adventure games and you don't get caught up in the historical inaccuracies of the game you should enjoy it however, the game has to be played in smaller chunks as the darkness of the game can be overwhelming.

    Con:
    - Gameplay isn't very innovative. Most of the time you will be scanning (via R2) for objects of interests to click on. Doing so may unlock additional choices in later interactions or progress the story objective. While nothing wrong with that (this is how this type of game works) some people might find it boring or tedious.

Detroit exceeds both Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls in all aspects, which is quite the achievement. Before I delve into its greatness, a slight con was that the game could have been longer (clocking only 10-12 hours), however its length still fit perfectly with the story and its replay-ability makes up for it, as I will discuss further.

    Just finished my 1st play-through and I have not had a game linger in my mind so heavily, tempting me to go through another play-through to fulfill the "if only I did this" possibility as a way both to fulfill my curiosity and atone for my "mistakes", and I am not one for replaying games. While on the subject, the game has true replay-ability, with every choice in the game having legitimate short-term and long-term consequences, leaving you feeling relieved, regretful, shocked, and or devastated by the actions you choose and its outcomes, and seeing it all play out in a final ending, whichever one it may turn out to be, is both emotionally moving and thrilling.

    The soundtrack is probably one of the greatest I have heard in any entertainment platform, including video games and shows/movies. The voice-acting and graphics are amazing, the story is simple yet complex and elicits every human emotion you can ponder up, and with an epic finale(s) to keep you up at night.

    Overall, if you want to experience a journey that will test your convictions, play with your emotions, and leave you pondering your existence and the future of this world, I highly recommend purchasing this game.

    The choices and decision trees of Detroit are the most robust of any game in the genre.

    Some chapters have as many as 3 decision tree tracks, which are only accessible based on decisions made in previous chapters. Some chapters are even missable based on your decisions. Choices you make change the world — stealing a weapon opens more paths to use that weapon down the road, murder

    Some chapters have as many as 3 decision tree tracks, which are only accessible based on decisions made in previous chapters. Some chapters are even missable based on your decisions.

    Choices you make change the world — stealing a weapon opens more paths to use that weapon down the road, murder someone and it will appear on tvs and magazines, save someone and that character may become a worthy ally later on.

    I’m on my second playthrough and choosing completely different decisions and I’m experiencing a very different narrative.

    As far as graphics, they are up there with the new God of War, possibly better depending on your aesthetics. The soundtrack is also amazing, with different composers for each main character—helping with their unique feel and story.

    I fell in love with the characters. The cast are all amazing actors and it was the one of the few times I cared about characters in a video game.

    In conclusion, I imagine I will play the complete game at least 4 times before I see mostly everything/get bored.

    Don’t miss out on this title!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank you Google translator.
    (SPOILERS) This game is just a masterpiece, I do not have a playstation, BUT I looked at the passages of 5 at least.
    Let's start with the fact that the story of Kara is very deep in the soul, I will not say that I had the same in childhood as I did with Alice (maybe moments and worse moments and better), but there is something similar in this. Her whole story caused me such an influx of emotions that I shuddered and sobbed like a child when Kara, for example, was beaten by the girl's father, or when her memory was erased in one of the options.
    Connor's story was also not bad, and the relationship with the LEITNIATIC is also quite interesting, but does not reach the level that the story of Cara and Alice.
    The story of Marcus, I would say noble and very kind, but at moments stupid, honestly some situations are solved before the banality simply, but we'll write it off just that - it's not interesting. In general terms, that the characters of the first plan, that the characters of the second are not written on f**k o*f, and are worthy of respect. I do not know how others, but I'm getting involved, and as for me it's a very good indicator of thoughtfulness.
    The game is worth its money, and frankly, as a PC user I see the point of buying a console because of Detroit, One of us and the God of War.
    For the whole game, I cried 6 times (I'm not inclined to emotions, I can eat and watch disgusting things and do not blink an eye and everything in that spirit, but there was something that made me cry.)
    The game does not get out of the head for about 3-4 days, and really makes you think, at least over Marcus's words: "- Eye for the eye and the world will go blind," or when the Lieutenant told Connor that the androids are better than people morally (there about the son was ). In general, I repeat the game of their money, if the book comes out I will buy without even thinking, the second part will come out and buy the playstation. The history of Kara has sunk very deep into the soul, and it is unlikely that some other game will repeat this result. 10 living androids out of 10.

    Overall, the game is an amazing experience.

    The soundtrack is perfect (they used three composers for each character), the graphics are detailed and beautiful and the most amazing thing is the sheer number of choices and interactions.

    And not to forget the game main menu assistant which is an excellent additional feature that gives extra life to the game.

There's a lot of small choices that must be taken in a very short period of time (like 3-4 seconds) that matters a lot so you have almost no time to think about the consequences, that's the strongest point of the game imo.

    Duration is fine and story its so good, specially the Connor-Anderson parts.

The replay value is relatively high if you're interested in making different choices the next time around. I highly recommend this game. It's a nice change of pace and enjoyable.

The "game" in this is not the pushing of the buttons, but choosing how the story develops and trying to keep the characters you love alive. It is a different kind of narrative gameplay.

    This game does the narrative and characters as well as any game I have played in the genre. The choices you make are actually meaningful, and there are very different outcomes. Unlike some games in the genre, where the story enda up the same, the only difference being who is alive. I definitely felt close to the characters, and you can really play them in very different ways: totally pacifist or terrorist? Totally by the book law abiding, or liose cannon cop? The chouce is yours, and the story actually dramatically changes for it!

    I really recommend this game for fans of the genre. If you are bothered by it being an interactive story, don't bother with this one either, although this game is the best in its genre, so perhaps give it a chance.

    While most games present an illusion of choice, or have very minor differences like alignment points or something, the choices in Detroit actually change the story in meaningful ways, who lives, who dies, and the state of the world they live in can all be impacted by your choices.

    Each of the three main characters are very different from each other, and have their own motivations and goals, and the way that the choices are handled intertwine and really help the world feel reactive, for example an incident experience by one character can become a news story seen by another character, which can then have its own impact.

    If you are still uncertain, there is a demo to try out, but if story-based games like QuanticDream's other games, or the many games by Telltale are your thing, then Detroit won't disappoint.

    This game had me worried at first. After Beyond: Two Souls, I was worried Quantic Dreams had started to collapse under David Cage's massive ego, however, after playing this game, I happy to report that- despite David Cage's ever-present ego- Detroit: Become Human delivers on an engaging, albeit familiar and somewhat silly, but largely entertaining plot.

After Beyond: Two Souls, I was worried Quantic Dreams had started to collapse under David Cage's massive ego, however, after playing this game, I happy to report that- despite David Cage's ever-present ego- Detroit: Become Human delivers on an engaging, albeit familiar and somewhat silly, but largely entertaining plot.

    Set in the not too distant future, where androids and advanced technology have become the norm, Detroit follows the story of three androids, Conner, Kara, and Markus, in the respective quests of self-discovery, hope, and a better future. Each character is incredibly well acted, with Markus being potentially the most charismatic, though Conner's personality and mannerisms may come off as unintentionally amusing. Each character's path is entirely up to you and will have varying outcomes depending on the choices you make. For example, Markus could be a violent revolutionary, putting android lives above humans, or he can be more compassionate seeking peace and compromise, or you could make Conner the cold, calculating machine he was designed to be, or you could give him the opportunity to question is purpose and how he wants to really fit into the the world around him. At the end of each level, the choices you made are presented via flowchart and suffice it to say, of the eight hours I've put into the game, I've never seen so many branching paths, possible choices, and varying outcomes. This is not a Telltale game where the plot is diamond-shaped, deviating from the start point as it nears the middle and then slowly return to a single point at the end. No two people will have the same playthrough their first time around.

    The supporting cast mostly delivers, the stands out being Clancy Brown as Det. Anderson and Lance Henrikson as Carl, but some performances may come off as a bit over the top or just plain flat. The worst performance probably comes from Alice, the little girl Kara watches over. After witnessing an amazing performance from Sunny Suljic as Atreus in God of War, Alice comes off as entirely wooden and incredibly underwhelming.

    Gamplay-wsie, it's no different from any other QD game. It's an interactive film, with you tilting the directional stick to interact with the world and QTE-filled set pieces for the "big moments". The game does come with a higher difficulty level which requires more precise controls and forces the game to no longer hold your hand and make decisions quickly and effectively or you WILL end up losing characters by the end- would not recommend on a first playthrough.

    Now the game is not perfect- again it's a Quantic Dream game. It has it's share of plot holes, is incredibly short, and is there more to stroke David Cage's ego as an "auteur" than deliver a valid message, but overall, if you enjoyed Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain, and want to wash the taste of Beyond: Two Souls out of your mouth, give this game a try. I'm already about to start a second playthrough with a whole new path for each character in mind, and I'm incredibly excited to explore all the possibilities this weaving narrative has to offer.

    Clearly the critics are wrong about this. When a rating is this different you can tell the critics don't know what they are talking about. Sure there are some rough edges, but we should praise a game for not having cancer DLC or micro-transactions.

    Detroit: Become Human is an emotionally driven story that weaves a complex narrative of multiple branching pathways. These oftentimes converge and create moments that test the finality of your decisions. You can truly see how the world suffers or prevails from the consequences of your actions which resonate throughout the story.

    While it does possess the usual David Cage charm that may not appeal to most, I personally found the approach to be problem free and I believed that my choices carried weight.
    That's what Science Fiction allows you to do: suspend your belief. I totally surrendered myself to the world of Detroit and the well-written and relatively grounded characters of Markus, Kara and Connor.
    Exceptionally written dialogue coupled with a fantastic soundtrack and beautifully rendered graphics and animations (some of the best I've ever seen) make this one of the most enjoyable games that I have played in recent memory.
    This game is a work of art and I believe it would appeal to all fans of Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Until Dawn or any games across the Telltale Games catalogue.
    Ultimately if you enjoy a decent story you will find that here and will come away with more than you expected from the beginning.

    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]
