    This game is pretty good, it has a decent story which makes sense, and is just plain good. The game play is a little lacking, but for a story driven game like this, it's fine. I don't like the fact that your character can just die if you make the wrong decisions, even if you're playing as a good guy. But, overall, good game.

    I'm actually at a loss of words. Detroit become human is not just a game as all the others but rather an engrossing experience which cannot be excluded from your memories.

    Great game, visual astonishing, multiple playthroughs available, low skill required, plot a bit predictable.

    Loved this game! So cool how all your choices make a difference. I’ve always loved choice based games such as the telltale ones and Life is Strange but never really felt like my choices have mattered in the end, but not with this. It’s so interesting to see how things turn out when you make different choices.

    Okay this title surprised me. Initially I found the controls a but clumsy as I just jumped from a FPS but then started to enjoy the game immensely. It's more of an interactive story.
    I feel this is not so much fantasy but where we are heading.
    Graphics are great, characters and story are compelling and emotive. A pleasant change.

    I love good stories which widens your perception about AI and robots.
    I follow lot's of discussions about it too.
    There are many great movies and also games which tackle it very good. But Detroit tackles it so blunt it hurts. I played till the end because I loved Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain but after the credits came I felt it was not worth my time and money. I liked the dialog tree    I love good stories which widens your perception about AI and robots.

    This game is really worth playing it , some of the decisions are hard to make , but it's up to you , you have to decide what you are , who you want to be , and the most important thing , ARE YOU READY TO DIE FOR THE IDEA YOU BELIEVE IN ? , this game can really mess with your emotions , in the end isn't that the whole point, to make you feel emotions ?

    Detroit:Become Human it's a surprise. With a interesting gameplay, a immersive, well done story, it tells a world that we can live like it someday. Not telling that androids are going to steal our lives completely, but it's interesting how this can be relacted to our real world. Didn't found it considerable cons.

    This is the GOTG with ease. Such a masterpiece which, sadly, some gamers will not be able to comprehend due to its depth and complexity in storytelling. From subtle nuance it depicts the human condition in all its ugliness to all of its glory, through the guise of, at first obedient androids which ultimately become sentient and resist their oppressors, demanding fairness and equality.This is the GOTG with ease.

From subtle nuance it depicts the human condition in all its ugliness to all of its glory, through the guise of, at first obedient androids which ultimately become sentient and resist their oppressors, demanding fairness and equality.

    The characters are diverse and complex in their own right, I personally found Kara to be the most interesting character in the story, while many found Connor to be their favorite. To each their own. I platinumed the game and filled in all of the flow chart so as not to miss any of the story elements or endings, and I can only assume that many didn't, which could be the reason some didn't fully understand the narrative.

    David Cage is the subject of much derision for some reason amongst video gamers, I'm not really certain why, as his games are the best story telling that video gaming has to offer. Writers like Neil D'man could see a massive benefit by studying under his tutelage before trying to strike out on their own, but I digress.

    Overall this is the best game of the eighth generation, if there is only one game that you play -- play this one!    … Expand

    Detroit: Become Human is a thoughtful, inspiring, and to a certain extent, terrifying game that is sure to cause anyone an existential crisis. This is one of the richest experiences I've had and I cannot recommend it enough. The game's world is perhaps the most realistic depiction of the following decades that I have seen in any media.

This is one of the richest experiences I've had and I cannot recommend it enough. The game's world is perhaps the most realistic depiction of the following decades that I have seen in any media. As I was playing, there were a million questions that popped into my head. Everything from the new technologies I was observing to the way society restructured in order to accommodate these. By far, the biggest impact in the world will be the improvement and adoption of A.I. by humanity. Detroit: Become Human does a great job of showing us how that world will look like.

    From my initial impressions, I realized that this was going to be a very profound and well detailed game. This is my first Quantic Dream title and I can already tell that it is a studio full of passionate people who put a lot of care into telling a compelling story with an interesting premise. One can see that they did their research before producing a game that takes on the important topics of A.I. and futurism. Some of the themes most present in the game are: meaning, purpose, identity and civil rights. This is the most philosophical and political game I have played and I loved every second of it. The scenes where the androids questioned their very programming resonated with me. It made me realize that us organic beings will not be so different from them after all.

    By far my favorite character out of the three robots was Kara. Her story made me think the most and I adored her relationship with Alice. The philosophical question on whether artificial beings can love, hate or care about something or someone is best reflected through Kara. Throughout her journey, she risks her life to save Alice and feels stress when facing danger. I truly believe it is possible for A.I. to develop feelings (or an equivalent of them). These thoughts raise a lot of questions about the meanings of love, parenthood and relationships. These are all ideas that will be challenged and questioned in the next few decades, and we must be ready for them.

    Markus' story has a lot of important lessons and questions we must ask ourselves in the future when A.I. arrives. Is it a matter of principle to treat everything with respect, wether it is artificial or not? What really constitutes consciousness and personhood? I also sensed a lot of messages against the threat of government and corporate tyranny in our future. The characters' stories all share the themes of preserving liberty against those who try to take them from us.

    The magazines you find throughout the game are some of the best collectibles I've seen in a game. They paint a very interesting picture of our future. These magazines contain news articles reporting on topics like technological advances, politics, climate change, entertainment, etc. Some of them will fill you with existential horror, optimism or food for debate. Reading them feels like taking a peek into our future, something a lot of people will be looking forward to. but also making us have more consciousness in the present.

    I loved Detroit: Become Human and I think everyone should give it a go. The story is well paced and impactful, the characters are very interesting and likeable, making you think carefully every decision you make in order to protect them. This is truly an experience that will always be a part of my life.    … Expand

I loved everything about this game, the story, the characters, voiceover, graphics, soundtrack, gameplay, multiple choice, beautiful sceneries, and the ending... Wow, what an ending it was! Actually you have more than 40 different ways to end this game but in the best case scenario and when you see the last after credits scene, you gasp. I just want to hug the characters, especially Connor and Hank, so real and human they seem. And also each and every person in the incredible team that worked on this masterpiece. I love you, QuanticDream!!! Thank you, David Cage! I never read a book, saw a movie or played a game that made such a big impact on me! It helped me to fight depression after the death of my grandmother, it made me want to believe in myself again and to start writing a science fiction book, learn how to draw and compose music. All because the game had such a powerful effect on me! And please remain true to your games, never let the influences or politics interfere with your games. As you always said, “you (the fans) are the reason we make our games”. So please give us another masterpiece like this one, though it will be very hard to beat your own impossibly perfect creation!… 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]
