    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played through Detroit become human 14x because I love the story and the fact games like this a a good level of replayability. You won't get the full experience just by playing through it once. This is one of the best graphically great looking games during the PS4 console generation. Yes this game is a big racial allegory and depends on how you receive how it betrays the message. Every main character can live or die depending on your choices.… Expand

    Holy wow. Detroit become human is the best game I’ve ever played. This graphics are beautiful, the visuals are amazing, the characters are very memorable and everything is unique. No matter how many years pass, this game has a truly special place in my heart.

    Начало игры было крайне интересным и интригующим, но после середины, когда события подходили к восстанию, я думал будет что - то типа фильма планета обезьян, а начался мультик Disney.

    First of all, I think the game is the best game in the world.
    You feel that the decisions you make affect the story.
    The characters and story are pretty good.
    The graphics are amazing
    The game gives you suspense and in some places very good fear.
    It's a game everyone should play and don't mind the bad reviews
    I think this game is a masterpiece
    Because this game makes you question being human

    When we see this game as the story about the importance of civil rights, this game is not really impressive, but this game still has the story and characters which are interesting enough.

    So far this is my favorite Quantic Dream game since I last played Heavy rain. As usual, they told an amazing story, and Connor was really badass, loved him! :D

    The best quantic dream ambition game so far exceeding the other franchises done by the studio and matching the triple A games, different prepectives played by different characters to tell a touching/exciting story that tells a revoutionary subject

One missing thing ( ATTENTION imho) is: during gameplay I didn’t notice any aggressive humans behavior directed to other humans (ok some “human” characters had small verbal altercations, but nothing more). I mean there is no hate to any social group, no “race” problems and etc. It seems like people can feel animosity only to droids. In world of Detroit all people’s conflicts were vanished. I wish people in Detroit were more alive. Rest in piece Humanity.… Expand

    Ignore the hate-reviews with a personal agenda against David Cage, there is no way in h*ll that this game is a 4/10. Not even Mighty Number 9 is a 4/10 lol. The story and writing in Detroit is good enough for a game (I loved it personally) and probably better than the story in 9

    What an absolute journey this is! I got my PS5 this year and despite always having a PS4, I had never got around to Detroit: Become Human, with the excitement of having a PS5, I got PS Plus and found that Detroit was included for free with this subscription so felt like a sign almost that I need to play the game.

    Story - I will avoid spoiler territory of course but I have never seen a    What an absolute journey this is! I got my PS5 this year and despite always having a PS4, I had never got around to Detroit: Become Human, with the excitement of having a PS5, I got PS Plus and found that Detroit was included for free with this subscription so felt like a sign almost that I need to play the game.

    Story - I will avoid spoiler territory of course but I have never seen a game have this many branches in how it can play out. I felt very attached to our main 3 characters in Marcus, Kara and Connor as well as their individual journeys. Each of the actors who brought them to life did an amazing job and I truly was behind them the whole way. There are certain moments in the game where you need to use quick time events and doing something incorrectly enough times could lead to an outcome you don't want, and making any kind of mistake while doing these quick time events filled me with so much anxiety and that was because I truly cared about getting the best possible result for these characters, I cared that much. My only real complaint from this is that while Marcus and Kara had a goal I was behind, Connor was pretty much the opposite of what they and I wanted, and because of the conflict between these, I found it hard to play as Connor just because his ambitions didn't match those of the other two that I agreed with. Not a big problem, just something that I felt left me failing some of Connor's "missions" whereas I could've passed should I have done what the game wanted me to do. Outside of the story, just the world itself is incredible, I love how they tackle some pretty serious issues using their story elements as a way to do so, it is so interesting just to look around at everything.

    Graphics and Performance - Its hard to deny that this is easily one of the more beautiful games you will see, even just the faces of each character, so much detail is in them and you can easily detect when certain characters might be feeling a certain way based on their expressions. The overall look and design of the world is outstanding too. As for performance, I didn't have any major issues aside from one crash and some framerate problems when the game started to have some more action oriented scenes, it was a little irritating just because you had to make some quick time event moves here that led to some bad outcomes if you failed, but other than that it was fine.

    Music - A very beautiful soundtrack can be found here and if you have played games like Heavy Rain or Beyond: Two Souls then you will know already how much care and attention is put into the music that goes with the story and world, it is pulled off really well here, maybe not as memorable as Heavy Rain but still some truly amazing scores that hit real hard during the more intense moments of the game.

    Replayability - Just a little side section here but the branching paths for the story are pretty incredible, after each chapter you are shown this huge tree of branching storylines that indicate where it could've gone, yet they leave those blank as to encourage replayability. I will say that I am not currently interested in going back and playing the game again, mainly due to me having plenty of other games to play, but for those of you who do want to have a game where so many outcomes are possible, this is the game for you. I went on Reddit after finishing the game and just had so much fun reading over other people's story outcomes. There are cases where main characters die quite early on and it is wild to see how these events could happen differently to my own. I am mostly satisfied with the ending I received, I feel that the game truly had consequences based on the decisions I made which is a great thing.

    Final Review - I enjoyed this game so much that I would very much be down for a tv series based on this world, or even a set of novels. There is so much more to this that I want to explore and learn. Throughout the whole game we learn about a war between the US and Russia but it isn't the focus point of the story, just a side thing you can read about on various magazine articles, but there is clearly a lot that can be taken from this idea and put into something else. This game is highly recommended from me, especially if you really enjoy story based games like this.    … Expand

    This is the best game that Quantic Dream ever made so far! The story(actually the most important part of all QD's games) is simple, but nevertheless it's most variational among all today's games.

    Wow. Detroit Become human is an indescrivible experience. David Cage is a incredible director and the Quantic Dream team is fantastic. Detroit become human has three main characters: Connor, Markus and Kara, all of them are written with an incredible fantasy and accuarcy. The final is very amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall it's a great game and fun to play. But I wish you had more of a choice to root for the robots or against them. And the little girl shouldn't be discovered as a robot and should have been a human instead. That really sucked when I found that out. It's like the robots can always tell each other but for some reason she couldn't detect the child was one? And it was silly that lieutenant ended up rooting for the robots.

    It's a good game and normally I don't play story sorts of games. You have so many choices in what you can do and each mission has multiple outcomes affecting how things play out giving the game a huge amount of replay-ability. A couple of things that really annoyed me is the girl turning out to be a robot! That seriously did kill that part of the story for me. It would have been far more interesting if the girl was human. The fact she is not is almost like you wanted it to be human but then shoe horned in at the last second that she's a robot.
    Another thing I didn't like is how lieutenant becomes to like the robots even know he clearly despised them. Wouldn't it be better if you had a choice in this? Like if you show no emotion then he hates robots but if you get along with him he continues to hate them? He shot you in the face and then next minute he's trying to stop you killing them? That really didn't make sense to me. If there is a way to keep him against them then I apologise but I did try and get that outcome but didn't manage to.
    I found it weird that headshots kill robots but the nurse women had nothing in her head? And also at 1 point you get shot in the head and die slowly but then in the interview room a headshot is immediate.
    Nothing major but a bit inconsistent.

    The controls aren't bad but I felt movement at times was a bit slow. Like when your looking for the robot hideout Jericho (How ever it's spelt) and you are forced to walk around really slowly. Would have be nice to have more of a fast walk or slow run. It was like this at a few times where movement felt to slow for what you were doing.

    I liked the horror sort of parts of the game like the junkyard or the house with the crazy robot and sadly I wish there were more parts like this but instead we only got 3.
    More crazy evil deviants would have be cool aswell but instead 90% of them were friendly or atleast the ones we seen but I feel like if they were inslaved then more of them would rebel with force and not peacefully.

    If you haven't played this game yet I recommend you check it out if you are into sci fi sorts of stuff. Its on PS Now aswell allowing you to stream it on PC if you don't own a playstation.    … 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]
