    Detroit is one of the best story driven games that i have played in awhile, Connor, Markus, and Kara each have their own mission and objective and you really feel the importance of your choices in each. I’ve fallen in love with the feel of the game, futuristic Detroit and it’s environments and the characters and relationships you build in the game, Hank and Connor really show how anyDetroit is one of the best story driven games that i have played in awhile, Connor, Markus, and Kara each have their own mission and objective and you really feel the importance of your choices in each. I’ve fallen in love with the feel of the game, futuristic Detroit and it’s environments and the characters and relationships you build in the game, Hank and Connor really show how any person could realize that androids are alive. Kara and Alice show the relationship an android and child could have and how that relationship could be familial. Markus and Jericho show how your actions (peace or violence) can shape the story for the other characters. Every choice has a consequence and I love that, Detroit Become Human is a fantastic game and i hope others can also enjoy this story.… Expand

    This is the most touching game I have ever played, topping Halo: Reach. I shivered while playing Cara's story which tops any other medium such as audio, movie, etc. As a person that has faced such things like all of the 3, I call this game the best in its genre, possibly in the platform as a whole.

    This is one of the best pieces of branching narrative I have ever experienced. The story and different paths are top-notch. That said, if good gameplay is a must, then I'd skip this. There isn't much of that here. This game is everything it appears to be delivered at a high quality rate. If you want a branching narrative game, I couldn't recommend this more.

    Estamos ante uno de los mejores juegos de toma de decisiones que existen en la industria, (yo la verdad soy bien fanático de este tipo de juegos jaja) tanto sus personajes como la historia cuentan con un muy buen desarrollo los cuales te llegan a cautivar y a empatizar con los mismos. Sin dudas un muy excelente juego.

    Solid 10/10 for me. Amazing story with many different endings so it is never boring playing through it again. Game is a must play. The graphics are add to the game and playing with characters that all come from different places. And it also felt real due to electronics slowly replacing everything nowadays.

    Quantic Dream超越了它之前在《底特律：成为人类》中所做的一切。一个巨大的剧本允许一个惊心动魄的故事具有多个层次，同时处理奴隶制、人类状况或身份概念等主题。该类型的真正杰作。

Я прошел эту игра так что Кэра умерла, Маркус не победил, а Коннора вообще скинул с крыши его напарник Хэнк. Немного о Хэнке в начале игры он ненавидел андроидов, под конец понял что они не такие уж и ужасные, а Конор же в конце игры был безразличным мудаком… Expand

    A brilliant experience built upon little scenes that make impact. The best interactive movie I've seen so far. And the only one that makes you, the player, one of the participants of the story. When I chose to raise hands in an ultimate gesture of peace, I cried. To me that was the biggest success of this genre.

    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.    … Expand

I'm a particular fan of the introduction of the flowchart feature - not only did it help with trophies, but it was also nice to see how the game mapped out. Some chapters had so many different combinations that it did really feel like every choice mattered.

    It is sad to see that the game's official ratings are being impacted by people who dislike David Cage, as it unfairly criticises the 100s of others who worked to create such a great game. However, I think this will go on to be QD's most successful game yet, and I look forward to what they will offer next!    … Expand

Detroit is a build your own movie kind of game. And by nature, because the player isn't focused on leveling up, you pay more attention to the story, And what a story Detroit has. Yes, we've seen elements of it in other movies, games, tv shows, but Detroit really does a great job giving light to the challenges of a future where automation takes over most jobs. Of the issues we humans have acknowledging cultural shifts and accepting new rules. Accepting something that is different from what we are used to. Our history shows that most of us don't like change. But our biggest conquests come from the unwillingness of the few to accept the status quo. Detroit titles says it all.

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

    This was a phenomenal game - brilliant story, very immersive, fantastic graphics & sound. Only niggles were some at-times wonky controls and the quicktime events were a bit on the easy side (when playing 'Experienced' - the harder of the two difficulty levels).

In Detroit, the smallest choice could get a character killed and that's what so great. Every choice has weight and you stress about situations because of that weight. The three main characters all have compelling stories and you care about each one. I was worried that one character would be the odd one out but luckily I was wrong. David Cage but time with each character so that they would all feel unique. The writing is great and the pacing is on point. There are some moments where the story is a bit slow (towards the beginning) but after the story picks up, it doesn't stop. Your choices are so important that some people may hate the game because of how some character arcs can end. One wrong move and a character can die which can leave you a bit unfulfilled. This is what happened to me on my first playthrough. I kept all three main characters alive until everything began going wrong. It left me feeling unsatisfied but I knew it was my fault. My second playthrough ended much better and made me appreciate the game even more. I cannot wait to see what Quantic Dream does next!… Expand

    PROS:
    - 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

    One of THE best looking games I've ever played - and definetly the best from Quantic Dream.
    Only thing keeping it from being a 10/10 from me is the "flow chart" after every "mission" or "scene" which totally breaks the immersion for me, personally.
    Other than that, it's the second best game of 2018 so far, only lacking behind God of War.

    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.

Story is good too, though not perfect yet for my liking but they did quite good job here. The starting chapter can easily hook you up. Some chapters are somewhat dragging in my opinion but overall I was satisfiled.

    The bad part ,however, are the choices that sometimes unclear to me of what characters will do. They should give us more explanation in each choices. For exp, in the first episode there is one choice "Blame" but they did not explicitly tell you who are gonna be blamed ? I thought our protagnist was gonna blame human, but instead he blame the villian, which made situation worse and not what I intend. I had to frustatedly reload the mission again. The unclear choices like this one happened many times in the games and are very critical to gameplay so I was gonna game this game 8/10. However, after I reconclied everything and thought about how vast the content is. I think 9/10 is solid because I took about 15-20 hrs to beat this game first time and yet I feel like it is only 1/3 of all content. There are so many route I could explore. In term of all content, it could have been 40 hrs or so, which is very huge for a movie interactive game like this.

    Kara, Marcus, and Connor.
    There are tones of slavery as well as abusive relationships here both physically and mentally…
    As someone really into psychology the perhaps accidental metaphor instantly jumped out at me as youre a being doing everything in your power to be perfect, but its never enough…
    I quickly made this connection having gone through something similar in my life and I felt for these androids as if they were human, and this is really what this game Is all about..
    Androids al across Detroit have started to become deviants, meaning they’ve gone rogue,, they’ve broken from their programming and have started thing for themselves..
    There will be moments here where there is the opportunity to break playing as your 3 characters… all of which have their own unique and equally intense story lines..
    Kara who was probably my favorite story line is where you play as essentially a maid android taking care of a little girl in an abusive home…
    but this game is all about choice.. there are over 10 endings for this game… so things you see or I talk about may never happen to you in your play through.. you can lose characters early.. and because of this your play time will vary..
    All 3 androids made it to the final chapter in my story, and this playthrough took 12 hours…
    As Kara I chose to run away with the little girl I was taken care of.. I became a mother figure.. protecting her at all costs, making she she had warm clothes and food to eat even if it means she started to look at me in a negative way, as the way you interact with the world around you.. the way your partners or the public perceive you.. and this is where the balancing juggling act comes into play…
    Because youll be effecting the story of the other androids youre playing as as you all occupy the same world and live in the same city..
    Youll also be playing as connor, who is essentially a deviant hunter, youll be investigating crime scenes, interigating other androids, trying to solve the case with your human partner hank, who isn’t the biggest android fan..
    and finally theres marcus, caretaker turned revolution leader… youll have the dilemma of keeping things peaceful or essecalting things violently in an attempt of freeing your people…
    I was surprised with the dilemma I ultimately faced while playing this game..
    Making choices to save either an android or a human… do what it takes to solve my case or again make sure the little girl I was taking care of was safe at all costs..
    it’s the thought provoking dilmas here of man vs machine that makes Detroit become human such a great experience…
    there is tons of quick time events and choice making here…, this is very much a choose your own adventure game with risk and consequence around every corner.. story twists all over,
    it’s one of those games where the less you know going in the better,
    So ill end things here..
    If you enjoy philosophy in any way Detroit Become Human is a must play game.

And yeah, David Cage is a piece of crap, but this game was a team effort, so hating on it just because you dislike Cage is childish and unfair towards the rest of the studio.

    I'm quite struggling to call Detroit a game. It's a choose-your-adventure style interactive movie. There are so many choices to make which change the story as you go and result in one of many endings. It's overwhelming at times, but fortunately you have a handy flowchart available which you can view after you finish a chapter. The chart clearly shows where the path splits and makes it easier for you to unlock alternate routes. I was actually quite blown away by how much your choices matter. A little detail I learned in one of the first chapters saved my life in the story's finale. One of the main characters can make choices that will massively affect the other two leads and completely change the outcome of your story. It's much deeper than your usual Telltale Games experience.

    The characters are all very likeable and relatable, each of them in a completely different way. Connor is an android investigator who hunts down other androids and has to deal with the resulting moral dilemma of betraying his own species. Markus is a caretaker android who had it all before hitting rock bottom and rising again to become something more. And finally Kara, a housekeeper/nanny android who's accompanied by a little girl named Alice whom she desperately wants to keep out of a harm's way. You play as all these characters, switching between them periodically. In the beginning their stories are quite separate, but they all merge in the end in various ways. I can't say much about the story without spoiling it and ruining your experience, but know that it deals with racism and borrows many elements from the Civil Rights Movement in America and the WW2 Holocaust. It does so in subtle ways, though, so it's no obnoxious SJW propaganda.

    Gameplay wise, it's just one massive quick time event. Right analogue stick is for movement, left for interaction, the rest of the controller for QTEs. All these buttons are pretty much just a glorified "play" button, but it works just fine for an interactive movie. One odd thing I have to mention is: you have to press the R2 button in a very specific way (press down the upper half of it, don't pull the trigger like you normally would), otherwise it doesn't register. It took me forever to figure out why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't until I realized this. It's one of the weirdest quirks I've seen in any game I've ever played. I even thought my controller was broken, but it works just fine when I play God of War so it's definitely the game.

    The graphics are great, though there were a few issues with textures popping in late and once there was some minor clipping in an NPC's face. Likewise, the soundtrack is fantastic and sets the mood nicely. The facial animation tech is one of the best I've seen, but that's to be expected from an interactive movie.

    This is one of the rare cases where an interactive movie is actually worth replaying. There are quite substantial parts of the story you may never even see depending on the choices you make. There are even entire locations you may never visit. The story even affects the AI on the main menu screen, which was quite unique and definitely a nice touch. When I came back after a late night gaming session, the AI commented on me staying up late last night and said she hoped I wasn't too tired today. If you stay on the main menu screen for a while, she offers trivia on the city of Detroit, comments on your interior decor, and other fun stuff.

    Detroit is definitely one of the best interactive movie games out there, and the best QD game to date. After the abomination that was Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit, and the disappointment that was Beyond Two Souls, I just can't praise Detroit enough. With a main story that's about 10 hours long and that has quite a lot of replay value thanks to its complex branching path and multiple endings, it's definitely worth several playthroughs.    … Expand

    I loved Detroit. As a mature game player, I thought this was up there with Heavy Rain (and I didn't end up killing myself in the end). I was able to keep all three characters alive even while pursuing the most aggressive choices. This is a game I'll definitely play again. It took about 10 hours to play.

Similar to WestWorld, these androids are designed to look and feel like normal human beings but also to follow their programming. Over time the life of luxury having androids to everything, a divide arises in society.
    Human workers are replaced by synthetic life. People turn on their androids claiming they are just fake life and computer programs. They believe the androids are soulless and hold zero value to synthetic life. Till eventually an android breaks from his coding, killing his abusive owner and running away. Creating the first “Deviant” and the first free will android.

    Detroit Become Human has you live and play through three different arching storylines that have their own unique challenges and life decisions. More along the lines of an interactive movie, Detroit Become Human involves the player to really shape the outcome of the game. Every choice you make will change how people interact with your character and the ultimate climax of the story.

    Bouncing between the three main characters of Kara, Connor and Markus; You witness how the world treats androids and how more of them are becoming deviant. Dealing with free will, if a machine can have feelings, or if a program life of an android can really be alive. Will androids submit to their programming and remain property and slaves to their owners? Will you push forward to break the cycle and fight for equal rights? How far will you go to protect another life?

    I absolutely loved playing through this game. So much so I debated doing a second run to see how the story would change with different decisions but I really don’t want to change what I experienced. There are big moments and situations that are shocking. Sometimes making me pause the game after a chapter to really digest what happened. I think I’ve convinced Ciara to play so I can watch her story unfold in a different way with the choices she makes.

    Many people like to rag on Quantic Dream and David Cage because "walking sim" but there is enjoyment in these titles. They use the video-game medium to tell interactive stories that wouldn't be possible on TV or film and that's something worth applauding.

    The story is decent enough. Some of the writing is overly melodramatic and occasionally trite, but there's a solid theme behind it.

    The story is decent enough. Some of the writing is overly melodramatic and occasionally trite, but there's a solid theme behind it. The ethical questions arising from artificial life is a fertile ground for books and films and this story treads mostly the same ground. But that's not a complaint - it's a good theme to cover and David Cage does it pretty well.

    Graphics are superb. Amongst the best in this generation. The story depends heavily on your emotional investment in the characters, so it helps that the mo-cap and voice actors are excellent.

    What little gameplay this has is either QTE or click-and-point nonsense. It isn't difficult but it interrupts the pace and adds nothing to the story.

    f you treat this like a 20+ hour mini-series you will enjoy it immensely. This story is worth at least one play through (maybe two).    … Expand

The characters are well developed and I cared about all of the main ones, the Conner/Anderson story was particularly good. The graphics are out of this world - one of the best I've played on this front - and the music is superb and adds a lot to the experience. It is very much a narrative game but there was enough interaction and choices for me to make it feel like I was playing a major role rather than mostly just watching a story unfold. There are many reviews attacking the story, saying that it was a rip off of a movie, but really the themes are pretty universal and for me what came to mind was the fight against slavery, or the Holocaust. The story was satisfying enough and clearly had enough different branches and outcomes that I will definitely be playing it again. The only reason it didn't have a 10 from me is because I found myself fighting with the game mechanics in some sections. There's a particular mechanic where the character does a mental dry run of different possible actions in a situation that needs to be negotiated that I found quite frustrating and ended up resorting to watching a YouTube walkthrough to see how to get through that part, which I hate doing. That happened a couple of times. To be fair, I'm not the best gamer, but still it impacted my immersion in the story, and it happened again very near the end of the game when I'd got a much better handle on the mechanics. Also - a bit like Fallout 4 - it can sometimes be tricky to make a major choice based on four one word response options. Several times what the character actually said was not what I was expecting from the choice I made and it could have major repercussions - and not of the good kind. These are relatively minor points though, and overall I really enjoyed every moment of this game and would definitely recommend it. If you have liked any other games of this type you will definitely enjoy this one. Out of David Cage's previous offerings this is way ahead in terms of story, character development and execution and it stands up well against the likes of The Walking Dead and Until Dawn. This bodes well for more games in this genre from David Cage & the QD team.… Expand

Make no mistake Detroit Become Human or DBH for short is an interactive action-adventure game yet, it does have some heartwarming, terrifying or controversial moments what makes this game so good is it puts you in the drivers seat for most of the choices in the game. When you play the story you really get attached to their characters and sympathize with their motives. The game also delivers a great soundtrack to imerse you in the moment. In the end it is YOUR story that pushes the pace of the game every decision you make matters. Which multiples the DBH's replay value as the choices you make will decide the faith of your characters and the road they will follow. DBH deals with heavy themes that society either shy's away from or tries to ignore instead Detroit purposefully fuses these themes with it's main story to create an emotional roller coaster in some of the scenarios you will play. I myself never played Heavy Rain thinking that the type of gameplay mechanics wasn't for me. A few years later I picked this up on PS+ and I couldn't put it down a game I thought would quickly bore me kept me hooked on and I wasn't satisfied until I reached the end. In fact I am planning to do another playthrough of the game because there is something special about DBH that no other game could give me.… 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]
