    Thats definitely not 10 out of 10. Gameplay in experienced difficulty still isn't challenging enough (but much better than in Beyond T.S.). The plot is very, veeeerryyy naive (Hunger Games - Divergent level of naivety) and has several plot holes.

    A surprisingly engaging story-driven game from the mind behind several preachy flops, Detroit: Become Human might be the best Choose-Your-Own-Adventure experience to date.

    Here we are again with another Quantic Dream game. The interactive-movie style genre is mostly entertaining and offers a relaxing pace with a branching narrative to explore. The best aspect of these games is that they are truly non-linear, and every decision has an actual impact on the plot and events of the game. The downside is that all of these games feel EXACTLY the same. It'sHere we are again with another Quantic Dream game. The interactive-movie style genre is mostly entertaining and offers a relaxing pace with a branching narrative to explore. The best aspect of these games is that they are truly non-linear, and every decision has an actual impact on the plot and events of the game. The downside is that all of these games feel EXACTLY the same. It's literally just like Heavy Rain but with robots. Beyond Two Souls was the supernatural/ghost version of this genre, and then Until Dawn was the "survival horror" game. Detroit: Become Human feels like an extended episode of The Outer Limits, for better or for worse. There are some genuinely interesting characters and plot devices. There are also many cliche and over-the-top moments filled with cheesy, on-the-nose dialogue trees. The tone of the game feels a little pretentious at times. Different controversies are injected that parallel real-life social issues in very obvious ways. The game is enjoyable for what it attempts but I wouldn't say it's imperative for anyone to play. It's just something to jump into when you need a break from other gameplay styles. It's like turning on a bad sci-fi movie when you're bored and there's nothing else to watch, it keeps you interested enough to see what happens in the end.
    The game has many hilarious moments, both intentional and unintentional. They really want you to take the struggle of the androids seriously, which at times seems really sincere but other times feel like B-movie outtakes from a bad sci-fi. This game works on many levels but I think Quantic Dream needs to try another game genre. Heavy Rain took everyone by surprise because it felt fresh at the time, and now we've had three more spiritual successors that have imitated that game in almost every possible way. There are some new elements like the crime scene investigation that makes Detroit: Become Human stand out. It's just a little tiring to go through the same kinds of scenes with the same kinds of QTE's and the same kinds of dialogue options and decision trees in every single game they produce. It's very clear that David Cage is more of a film buff than a gamer. It would be better if he tried to reinvent the wheel instead of giving us carbon-copies of the tried-and-true formula every time.
    This is not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. The graphics and soundtrack are incredible, and the voice acting is very convincing. It achieves what it sets out to accomplish, which is to provide an interactive-movie style game. I hope in the future though, we see a little more creativity from this developer in terms of actual gameplay. Give us a game that we can invest countless hours into and becomes truly engaging, not something that simply fills the gap in between triple-A releases.    … Expand

    Amazing game from start to finish! It got me intrigued in the story and made me care for the characters. The only negatives are that the game is rather short. But this game made me feel things that I’ve never felt before playing a game and I loved playing it.

    This is my 1st ever review on this site. Detroit - Become Human was an exceptional game, not only did you feel like you’re playing as 3 characters but your decisions/choices mattered.

This is a game I’ve felt a real connection with ALL the main characters and the fact the storyline changes dependent upon the Players choices bring it to another dimension. I cannot for the life of me understand nor accept the negative reviews about this game, either they struggle with the actual concept or simply cannot grasp the fact games are evolving, incorporating the End User more so and also try to Involve the players as much as possible.

    The graphics on Detroit -Become Human are simply ‘INCREDIBLE’ the game play’s fantastic, realism Stunning and the emotional attachment to EVERY character Irreplaceable/mesmerising. This game is truly an amazing Masterpiece and I would 100% Recommend it to anyone, anyone who embraces the fact/concept that games are moving into a new realm/realism. This is the 1st game I’ve played where I know my decisions affect the Gameplay and it’s something I’m new towards but I really do embrace it. I hope Quantic Dreams follow up after this stunning game and bring us even more explorative/innovative games in the near future. Thank you for all your hard work and extreme dedication in making this game as Brilliant as it is.    … Expand

    This game was fantastic. Never have I been more emotionally invested in the different stories and character progressions, than I have with Detroit: Become Human. Your choices toward the different storylines can have such a profound impact on the direction your story goes next. It truly feels like you're playing/directing a movie.

    First time in ages since a game has moved me, made me laugh, cry and fear. This was an emotional rollercoaster and with real people building up real relationships and the development and the hardships of these individuals. I am extremely happy I was able to experience this, the story telling the graphics the immersiveness is extremely well done.

    -all bad reviews is people who got bad ending which destroyed them morally.
    that's prove , because this game can not be 4/10

    its actually 10/10 but I will put 9/10 because nothing is perfect

    It was perfect from start to finish. Direction was phenomenal, performances were top notch, pacing and narrative were beyond (two souls) anything else currently on the market. The choices were consequential and heavy. I often had to stop playing to catch myself and reconsider whether I had made the right decision. Needless to say there is no "right decision" Every choice you make advances the story forward in a meaningful way. It truly is a narrative that adapts to the choices you make and forces you to consider what it means to be human. I found myself questioning assumptions I didn't know I had only to be put in a position that showed me why I had a reason to have those assumptions in the first place.

    In every way this game is a masterpiece of technology, story, performance, graphics and narrative. A 10/10 for any gamer that appreciates a game with mature choices and real consequences.

    This game is probably the best story driven game I have ever played. It has an intriguing story, with a lot of different outcomes. Because choices really do matter. And some of them are very hard to make. The character design is absolutely brilliant, and so is the story. Amazing.

    Detroit is outstanding. The story is incredibly impactful, the characters are complex, the graphics are incredible, and the music is amazing. It goes places where many games and movies wouldn't, it gives the player incredibly hard decisions to make, and the end result is a project that you can tell the people working on it cared about.

    Great story-telling and acting. These two make it an amazing game, there's no need for extremely pushing gameplay or mind blowing action, it's main point is how this game is extremely bending, you can shape the story yourself and actually see the outcome of your choices.

    Three amazing independent stories. Choices that really impact the gameplay heavily, not just cosmetically like in many cases of "your choices matter" nowadays. The game is beautifull, the shooting and directing is amazing, better than in many movies in my opinion. And let's not forget about the music. Possibly the best game of Quantic Dream yet.

    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]
