    Started off strong but terrible writing ruined it for me, markus as a character is so bland coupled with poor voice acting everything about his character was cringey, conor was by far the most interesting and if the whole game had been from his point of view cut out the other 2 and it might have been ok

    So corny and bad that it's good! Some of the options are downright goofy, like the part where you are trying to calm down a guy who is on a ledge and has a gun to a girl's head, and you can say, "Hi, my name is Conner", like that is going to calm him down lmfao (funny thing is, his goofiness is the saving grace of the game).

The three stories are all pretty silly and melodramatic, nothing revolutionary or ground breaking, unless simple "this good, that bad" views are deep to you. Generic angry cops that hate their job, a crazy art collector with a burnout son and a drugged up angst-y lonely man with abusive and rape-y tenancies are some of the supporting characters you will encounter in this "game".

    Oh and when you mom told you to clean the house and wash the dishes, you didn't do it did you? You were to busy doing that exact same thing in-game by doing hadouken motions with the right stick next to trash bins, weren't you?    … Expand

    From the first seconds to the last, I felt in place of the characters. The atmosphere in the game kept me in suspense of the whole gameplay.

Marcus, who inspired all androids and was not afraid to engage in battle with people. Connor... just a cute character (Bryan Dechart Is Awesome). I fell in love with his image instantly. As soon as I saw the trailer on E3, I realized that Connor is my favorite character. The visual component of the game at altitude. When I played, I did not distinguish reality from the game ....

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i have to admit that the demo didn't really captivate me and i played Detroit become HUman when it was in the Playstation Plus games. finally i would have spent 50€ for the great game. The story and the graphics are just perfect. We play together and sit every evening tied up and overwhelmed in front of the Tv.
    Of course you are bound to processes here and it's not an open world game, but that's not what it's supposed to be, it's a thrilling cinematic story to take part in. Many thanks for the great piece of art !    … Expand

    No difference in story telling, gameplay, and facial expression between this game and their other game 'heavy rain' expect for throwing agendas which very much sucks. i liked heavy rain so much which made me like this game a bit because its basically a replica.

    Detroit Become Human es el mejor juego de Quantic Dream, la historia es espectacular, el ambiente sensacional, el arte y los gráficos están sinceramente a otro nivel. Los personajes están increíblemente bien desarrollados, cada uno tiene una personalidad marcada. Es un verdadero juegazo que vale la pena totalmente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came into the game thinking that it would all be ok even on expert mode.I loved the introduction to Connor his mission is challenging,and extremely dark because all endings have someone die I experienced all of them before I could save the kid. But I also love that if you try hard enough (not really) you can get so incredibly close with Lt.Anderson and learn so much because of him and being able to become a Deviant because of your relationship with him saving the Lt. Is totally worth it but you can die saving him.
    Kara's story is more about knowing what to do and who to trust. I loved most of the good characters that Kara meets, Luthor Is such an amazing person and is so kind,and Alice while being picky was ok,I loved Rosa and how much she sacrifices. the theme park was one of the most beautiful parts of the story alongside Connors confrontation with Hank near the bridge ,and Markus' infamous painting secene or the death of his dad.
    Markus' story was about choosing light or darkness,his companions show each side North Darkness,Josh Light,and Simon Neutral.
    Peaceful is the best way to end things,in the almost perfect end Connor confronts the other Connor model and Hank saves him Connor after returning to Markus is being taken over while Markus gives his speech,I wasn't able to save them,My ending for Kara endied with Luthor AND Alice Dead and I decided to keep living as Kara. And once the final cutcene started playing I was already on the floor crying at 3:00 in the morning and stayed that way for at least twenty minutes. In conclusion I would totally recommend this game and it's so close to perfect it is.    … Expand

    I'm not a fan of David Cage games but this game forced me not tot sleep half of a night to finish it! Because it's goddam awesome and interesting. I even think to re-play some episodes to see different variations. And it's a big plus for game because I don't have much free time.

    Безусловно, мимо этого проэкта нельзя проходить мимо - не много подобных игр сейчас выходит, однако история подкачала, просто интересная, но не более. На концовке Heavy rain я чуть не плакал, здесь же: "Ну да, прикольно, в принципе годно". История не цепляет совершенно.Безусловно, мимо этого проэкта нельзя проходить мимо - не много подобных игр сейчас выходит, однако история подкачала, просто интересная, но не более.

    This was possibly the most emotionally invested I have ever been in the lives and story of a video game. Decisions are difficult to make (choices live in the gray area) and every choice you make has weight and meaning. I cannot recommend a more moving game which features strong topics about segregation, and equal rights, with a look into a possible forseeable future. BUY THIS GAME!

    As a cinematic games enthusiastic, I loved every single bit of it.
    The game has stunning graphics and visual appeal.
    The story and the choices you make are so dynamic that you'll be caught off guard a lot of times.
    A must play if you like Sony first party games and any narrative driven games.

    A nearly perfect game. Unless you're looking for a game with more twitch reflex action of couch co-op sort of stuff, this is the best PlayStation exclusive you can buy for the system, hands down. The story is griping, the characters believable, and the game's extremely replayable with how many different story avenues you can go down. Would love to see this world explored again in a sequel.

    I have finished all Quantic Dream's (not David Cage, he is not QD, people should give the studio the credit!) games since Fahrenheit and while I enjoyed them, there was always something lacking or too much but that trend ended with Detroit for me, it checked all the boxes and got the perfect score from me! It might change in the next-gen but Sony really did an amazing job this generation!I have finished all Quantic Dream's (not David Cage, he is not QD, people should give the studio the credit!) games since Fahrenheit and while I enjoyed them, there was always something lacking or too much but that trend ended with Detroit for me, it checked all the boxes and got the perfect score from me! It might change in the next-gen but Sony really did an amazing job this generation! (I own all three major consoles and love the games without factoring which console it's on)

    I can't believe how much negative reception the game got, I assume it's because David Cage is probably not much of a decent human himself but maybe those reviews should have factored the team behind it and judge the game, not the studio head.

    Let's get to the game:

    First of all, the decisions really mattered and the game really changes based on them; it's also so smooth that you don't realize that you might be off the path. But the amazing point is, it's not just for the sake of having different paths, they actually are all well-crafted!

    The three separate characters really feel like three different games with Kara being my favourite one and Connor and Markus tied at second (ok, I like Connor a bit more, to be honest!), yet somehow the stories come together so well that you can feel the butterfly effect! Unlike Heavy Rain which had very poor voice acting, the acting in Detroit is amazing, I really liked the level of attention and the love the actors had put in! (I recommend watching the behind the scenes clips of the show)

    The music was top notch, great idea to have three different artists for each character, really well-done!

    The graphics are so great and beat games released this year! It's amazing how well it performs on PS4. Granted, you should like the genre: it's not everybody's cup of tea but if you do like Interactive Narratives, this game is hands down the best one ever made.

    I was going through the news and saw that QD recently formed a new partnership with NetEase so I am not sure if the next QD game would be a loot box riddled mobile game or else, but if this is the last AAA game they made, it ended on a high note!    … Expand

    У Дэвида Кейджа получилось создать игру настолько затягивающую и интересную( в тоже время довольно короткую) что ее можно пройти за один заход чего я не рекомендую так как это +- 13 часов что не мало.

    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]
