    I've been playing it for a few weeks now and i think it is amazing, the graphics are top notch,
    great story and the game gives you a emotional touch to the whole thing,
    it's the best Quantic Dreams game yet.

Because it's interactive experience much deeper than "just a game". It touches important topics about humanity and our future that are much deeper than it can be seen on the surface as "game about androids". Long essay could be easily written just about the story and important issues that it contains so I skip this part. All I can say is that it's very emotional story that touched me deeply. Not often I feel so engaged in the events and fate of protagonist because not many games can develop great story. I played it on 'experienced' level even if I'm new to PS4 controller and I need more time that game allowed me to tap right button but this way it was more challenging and more emotional. Of course, I failed almost completely. Another plus for a game because failing is winning here: you can learn a lesson and try again to success by trying new pathways - game is not boring and allow for many game-plays where you can see events previously not discovered.
    Music is awesome. Three composers matched to character of protagonists plus bonus tracks. It's so nice to hear artists from Detroit like father of Techno Juan Atkins.
    My personal favorite is Kara, her story and soundtrack. I felt in my hands is life of real person not character in the game. Other two stories and characters are inferior. No not at all. All of them are equally great. It's just personal preference to like one character above another.
    Graphics is also really good - nothing that I could complain about, it keeps today's highest standards. Face expressions are great. They doesn't break 4th wall - another achievement.
    Main menu android assistant is also great idea. I'll miss her :)
    It's easy for me to give highest score because it seems that authors of the game share the same view about the world and our civilization/society as me so I felt at home.
    I hope that more games will have such engaging stories and rich characters and I hope that Quantic Dream will bring new awesome game soon.    … Expand

    Truly a masterpiece, one of the best story ever written for a video game. It is so rich and complex it takes several runs to explore it. I've been playing video games for more than 30 years and this one touched my soul like no other.

This was definitely the highest quality product this studio has come out with yet, and in my opinion gave you the greatest connection to your characters than either game before it had. Going back to the Heavy Rain style of controlling multiple characters was an excellent call, and each of them were so dynamically different that I could never truly pick a favorite to play as because I equally loved them all. This game really made you feel like you were crafting the story of the game itself as opposed to just following the events and making choices, and this was backed with real threat levels like how early a lot of your characters can die if you're not careful. The story was just absolutely fantastic; so many emotions. Good feels, sad feels, moments of power, moments of weakness, and choices that were so difficult to make I had to pause and just lay back and think about them before making them. This game was more than I ever expected it could be, and I can't wait to add it to my list of Platinum titles. If you've played Heavy Rain, this game will feel like it's true successor. And if you haven't played Heavy Rain or Beyond Two Souls... well, you should haha. But that said, this game stands on it's own without either of the previous titles before it, and is a must play for all PS4 owners. I gave Heavy Rain a near perfect score, but Detroit Become Human surpassed that and became perfection.… Expand

    Two games dominated my year in 2018: Far Cry 5, and Detroit: Become Human. People can dump on David Cage all they want, but- and I say this as someone who's played his games before, I know there are valid criticisms of his writing abilities- he definitely has a winner with this one.

    Like I said, having played Quantic Dream Games before, I know how hammy the acting and dialogue can be.    Two games dominated my year in 2018: Far Cry 5, and Detroit: Become Human.

    Like I said, having played Quantic Dream Games before, I know how hammy the acting and dialogue can be. But D:BH really came off as realistic- a hammy line here or there, but it's nothing glaring. The characters are excellent (though I wish the game was longer so they could explore some of them more) and the story was beautiful.

    Like Until Dawn, D:BH does a great job at throwing some unexpected consequences into your butterfly-effect choices. Sometimes the consequences to your choices are predictable, and sometimes they're not. Keeps you on edge and really hoping your characters don't end up dead.

    Great game. One of my all-time favorites.    … Expand

Detroit should become the example to be followed by Quantic Dream in their future endevours in this amazing genre! I didn't feel the quick time events as being quick time events, actually feeling the emotions of the scene most of the time instead of just pressing buttons. Three protagonists worked well, not being four too many like Heavy Rain or just two or one like Fahrenheit and Beyond Two Souls. And there was no supernatural over the top moments totally changing the atmosphere of the game like on the first and third games. It's a must play!… 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]
