    The only negatives are some of the smaller things that are just... David Cage Specialties at this point. There is some of the eye-rolling cheese you'd expect from him, but thankfully it's toned way down.    … Expand

    The game met my expectations. It correctly touches on the subject of androids as members of society. It puts emotional pressure on the player for his decisions. The game has a wide base of solutions, options and endings. It does not have an open world, but the content that the creators leave us in specific locations is extremely sufficient. I recommend, it's worth it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its taken me a while to get round to this game as its been part of my backlog for 2 plus years now but as with many other games, lockdown has allowed me to finally play through it.

    This is an odd game to review due to the nature of the 'chose your own adventure' storytelling but I will try my best! During my playthrough I went in entirely blind and did not go back on any choices made until I saw the credits role for the first time. This is how the game suggests you should play and I would definitely have to agree. It does a great job at making you care for the characters and is constantly reminding you that every choice you make is extremely important. As is the case with most games that follow this infrastructure many endings can leave you feeling unsatisfied however if you find yourself actively wanting to go back and re-attempt areas in order to achieve a better outcome for the characters. If this happens to you as it did me it will become abundantly clear that the game has made you attached to these characters. You actually care what happens to them and want a happy ending for them all though I still would have liked it if some of the 'bad' endings felt more fulfilling.

    The game follows 3 main characters, Markus, Connor and Kara. Throughout the game you follow them one at a time in a chapter style format. I was surprised as to how long it took for any of the characters to interact with each other though it did mean that adequate time was provided to build up these characters backstories and personalities before throwing them into a sort of crossover event. This meant that when they finally did meet it felt more rewarding. Think Avengers meeting Guardians of the Galaxy compared to Rey meeting Po in The Last Jedi. The first has a brilliant 'feel good' affect on the audience as these characters have been followed individually beforehand through several movies and it feels like less of an afterthought and more of a planned meeting. The second feels like purely an afterthought. Like the director suddenly realised at the last minute that these characters hadn't me yet. Personally for me Detroit falls close to Marvel's level of satisfaction.

    While there are over 80+ ways the story can go it is still obvious that the story will, for the most part, follow the same structure assuming you don't allow characters to die. Following these stories was quiet the emotional roller-coaster and my opinions on each of the characters journeys reflected this as I was constantly changing which one I was most invested in. At the beginning of my playthrough Kara's story had me hooked the most however, by the end of the game I found her story overall to be the weakest of the 3. One major development of her story was when the little girl Alice was revealed to be an android. Personally I wasn't a fan of this 'revelation' as I felt it was unnecessary and created plot holes that were never answered and that didn't have to exist in the first place. Connors story on the other hand started slow however ended up being my favourite out of the three weather I chose to keep him deviant or not. I also enjoyed the larger connection of his and Markus' stories when compared to Kara. It was another reason as to why I felt her story began to lose steam during the last third of the game as it really had no where else to go and surprisingly has a more distant role in the overall story. Towards the end it felt more 'sidequesty' and as a result I thought it dragged on.

    Its worth noting a gameplay element that I can't ignore as it got on my nerves a number of times despite how trivial it may seem. The scanning feature when exploring an area that highlights points of interest and brings up the objective menus is horribly implemented as the game grinds to a stop and everything freezes whenever it is opened. This really started to get on my nerves during my 20 hour playthrough as it slowed down a game that's already relatively slow in the gameplay department due to the movement speed of all three characters. It baffles me how this stayed in the game as to me there is no logical explanation for this to happen and if anything just demotivates you to explore the environments for clues that can unlock completely new story lines.

    I wanted to quickly touch on the writing. In a game with this many possible paths to take I would expect some to be better written and others to have a noticeable dip in quality however, with all the routes I experienced I never found one to be worse than another. When it came to the writing of the characters they stayed consistent throughout and because of this the experience felt a lot more authentic.

    Overall I really enjoyed my time with Detroit: Become Human and the ideas it presents within its 3 interlinked stories. It may be a pre-existing way of story telling however I would say Detroit nails the execution and deserves more recognition as one of the PS4's stand out titles    … Expand

    The story is phenomenal in this game, I really started caring for the characters and I'm glad I was able to get the best ending. I would recommend multiple playthroughs.
    The gameplay and mechanics are good too, there are fixed camera angles and not much interesting things to interact with but it is necessary for this genre and type of game.
    Overall, very good.

    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

    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]
