    David Cage macht bei diesem Spiel wieder eine gute Performance. Es fühlt sich mehr wie ein Heavy Rain. Trotzdem wird das Potenzial nicht ganz ausgereizt. Da hatte ich schlussendlich mit Heavy Rain mehr Vergnügen. Was man Detroit allerdings sehr zu gute heißen kann ist die Steuerung. Sie ist immernoch schwammig, aber eben nicht mehr so schwammig wie bei den Vorgänger-Spielen.

    Before I had my doubts, but when I bought this game I was completely blown away. All the characters are well written and really make you care for their story. The graphics look absolutely stunning. There are many choices and it shows the amount of work put into this game. Every chapter was so intriguing to play. Defenietly, buy this game and its worth it.

    There is so much to talk about with this game. I love the way it tells a story from 3 different characters. Kara's story is very dramatic and touching and Connor's story is just absolutely incredible. But, Markus's line was a little bit forced and he wasn't that much of an interesting character.

    Something like 7.8

    The locations are the best thing on this game, you really fell you re in that world. I have mixed feelings with the story, you can lead to in depth plots or just shallow finals. The start can be a little boring.

    Detroit: Become Human brought back faith in me in David Cage 's creativity. After the masterful Heavy Rain and the controversial Beyond: Two Souls, I didn 't know what to expect. I love interactive cinema and believe that this genre is closest to art. But the subject Cage chose is very difficult to tell interesting and even harder to give something new that previously wasn 't.

And at the beginning you have only childhood happiness, all mechanics work, graphics on the PS4 Pro look amazing, and the main thing you start to believe characters. How to smell the disappointment of realizing that Cage reduces such a beautiful story with a lot of choices to the usual story "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" And only the last hour of gameplay makes it clear that Detroit: Become Human is still closer to games, not movies. So you can forgive Cage 's move to succumb to the opinion of most players.… Expand

    If you like games that prioritize story above else then look no further. If you love telltale walking dead series, then this is the game for you! The story is touching and it is exactly what I want in a game.

    If you want to shoot things and play an open world game, go play 99% of the AAA games that are available to you but leave this 1% for us to enjoy :)

    I’m only about 6-8 hours in but this game deserves some praise! Absolutely incredible motion capture and acting. The story is fascinating. I can’t pick a thing wrong with this game if you love a strong story focused adventure. Why it didn’t receive higher scores is beyond me.

    Three stories in one game, linked in part, with so many options/choices that replaying is just as good!

I think it is good to explore potential societal issues in computer games. It might even be real someday and sooner than we think. Science fiction has been a pre-cursor to science fact. You can see this one as a interesting social experiment of potential future things to come, maybe?

    Conor was a bit of a robot drone and Kara was to self absorbed to see the bigger picture for me to feel any great empathy for those two characters plights.

    Remember the Star Trek TNG episode about Data's trial about his right for self-determination? If you loved this episode, you will love this game.

    This game is a masterpiece. Yes QTEs are annoying and a lot of people seem strangely triggered and melting their snowflakes about the story being a bit too "SJW" to their tastes while they grasp at straws trying to make parallels to current day events about whatever their fears are. As far as I'm concerned, it's their problem and their loss.

    It sports a thought provoking story worthy of Asimov's legacy. If you think this is about current day whatever in your persecution of SJW fantasies and hallucinations, you seriously have issues and need to take LOTS of steps back from current day politics. You drank WAY TOO MUCH KOOL-AID and need to sober up and calm the heck down.

    The story has nothing to do with current day events, it's GREAT anticipation sci-fi about AIs, Robots and how we're going to treat our creations when the time comes and they might develop more than what we thought they would, transcending their programming.

    A well deserved 10, I'll be recommending this one warmly for years to come to my fellow gamer friends.

    Introduction: After multiple showings and demonstrations at E3 about the vast branching choice that Detroit: Become Human was going to offer, Quantic Dream latest game has finally come out. Will this choose your own adventure drama lives up to its E3 promises or will this game be thrown in the android scrap yard?

    Story: This game follows three androids named Markus, Kara, and Connor. Markus story follows him starting a revolution to give the same rights to android as humans have. Kara has to protect a little girl that as to go on the run due to her abusive father. Last but not least, Connor is a prototype detective that is working on a case of why androids are suddenly having empathy and acting like humans. These stories eventually cross paths as more twist and turns unveil within the story. This story has a lot of good moment when playing as Connor or Kara but I always felt that Markus story and his line performance came off as a bit cheesy. Markus story is filled with clichés and moment that just feel a bit forced. With that being said, the story as a whole is engaging and fun for the whole 10 hour run time. You will get an interesting outlook on the story too if you decide to play it more than once with different choices, which I would highly recommend.

    Gameplay: This game is your standard choose dialog adventure game with QTE moments thrown in for the action scenes. Normally, I despise QTE’s but in this game, they really work since characters can be killed off at almost any moment of the game, giving a sense of every encounter being intense. Most choices are meaningful due to the fact that the story can branch off in so many ways. Once every chapter is completed, you get to see a flow chart of all the choices you could have made and it really gives a sense of scope on how many options you do have in this game. My only problem with this is Markus choices don’t have much difference in outcome due to how integral his part is in the story. Even when killed off, he is just replaced with his female counterpart and the story continues without your involvement. His most important choice, if you keep him alive, is that he can choose to protest peacefully or violently. This is easily fixed due to the other 2/3 of the game not having this issue. The gameplay, for the most part, is top notch and has multiple paths for you to explore in multiple playthroughs.

    Technical: I say this about almost every Sony game, but the statement still holds true. Top-notch graphics, the characters and the city of Detroit look so good, it was almost like watching a live action movie. A masterful soundtrack with a few forgettable songs here or there. No glitches or presentation issues present while playing. A technical masterpiece on every level.

    Verdict: Detroit: Become Human definitely live up to the E3 demo for having crazy amounts of branch storylines. The game can be a bit cheesy but still offers a fun time through the world of Detroit. This game sets a new bar for choose your own adventure games and I hope to see something come along that can use the Detroit formula and make something even better.

    +Engaging story
    +Many branching paths to take
    +Amazing on a Technical Level

Detroit Become Human fulfils that partnership with player control and solid narrative. I enjoyed this game for the most part and it really tied a heart gripping connection between the three main characters and the host of supporting ones.

    Although this game is very well crafted and something I thoroughly enjoyed, it did have some small unfortunates. The game was well written and narrative was solid, however I felt gridlocked at points, sometimes I would choose an option not knowing that it would lead me the wrong direction. I also felt cornered from some parts of the game based on my actions, and while this is a major in game mechanics, I felt clouded as to the overall ending I was headed for.

    Though is was sometimes a bit misleading, I still enjoyed the game. The tense dialogue decisions, relationships with other characters and the whole arc of the story ran really well. I loved the perspective of three very different characters. I loved how it broke the bounds of a human connection and roped in a real potential in a robotic future. Every niche and stone from the menu screen android to the wonderful map terrain was really captivating.

    Quantic Dream knows how to make a game, they understand how to bound a deeper connection, how to punish for consequence abiding actions. Having played an earlier game of theirs in Heavy Rain I expected a solid standard of content and it smashed the standard of narrative driven games beyond a countable limit.

    While I have some down points, they do not compare to the overall enjoyment I had. Execution was unparallel in a story sense and really dominated in giving gameplay as well as the control of the final ending.    … 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]
