    I don't know what's going on with David Cage and all the negative reviews about him, but I'm having a great time with Detroit. Granted; this is my first time playing a game like this. I feel Detroit is close to a 9, but decided to 10 to counter balance against all the auto negative reviews on here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well... this is very difficult for evaluating, despite I gave game above average score. First of all, negatives:
    - Story: While story is better then in Heavy Rain, its worse (much worse!) then in Beyond: Two Souls. When I played B:TS, it was very strong story with many embracing moments and player was capable to feel Jodie life, suffering, successes, fails and her struggle with life. Despite all efforts, I can not feel struggle in these androids. But its not about some philosophical point of view. I expected some plot twist, some great and unexpected subplot/plot that will change player point of view on whole game and story (for ex. Amanda AI trying enslave humanity and android rebellion is obstacle in way to success... yes, its bit matrix-like, but it could be good). I admit its much difficult to embrace and feel more then one character, but still. I think that story failed. When I completed B:TS I decided play it again, but now, I am more frustrated then thrilled. Many potential subplots were not used (Russia-US war?!)
    - Segmentation replay: While it is maybe one of greatest plus in my review, it is also not player-friendly, especially in long parts. But on first attempt, its not worse.
    - Graphic: I do not think there was much improvement since B:TS and we must take difference is between PS3 and PS4!
    - Cliché: Uprising oppressed, drunken and broken cop...

    Positives:
    + Actors and acting: While plot and story is weak, actors and their "acting" is fantastic! Many great and even my favourite actors (Clancy Brown). I know its computer imagined acting, but still, very good. Not mention that there are a lot of pretty female droids (North, android couple in Eden Club).
    + Some feelings: Well, cant denied that in some scenes, it was strong and I feel something, but thats all.
    + Segmentation replay: Great advancement in gameplay technologies within this genre! It could be better created, but its very good.
    + Analysis system: Another great gameplay advancement with many possibilities. It was one of very few situation when I was completely interested.

    Summary:
    Its up to you to buy it. My feelings are very mixed, but because of actors, analysis system and David Cage himself, I am more favorable and giving 7 of 10 score. I can find parallel in the Mass Effect: Andromeda (where was also Clancy Brown...), weaker successor of great predecessors.    … Expand

    The story may be generic as a Si-Fi, but the experience is really good.
    All choices do have real impact, more or less, there are more than one ending.
    But there is something I don't like, it's that many story branch depends on your failure, and I guess most player won't really aim at that.

    Probably the best work David Cage has done yet. Besides some pacing issues it has a very good run time with a story while clique is gripping enough to enjoy throughout and with branching decisions that do have an effect on the story, it is money well spent.

    Just finished the game and I have to say it's fantastic.
    Pros:
    -Gripping story -Choices with heavy consequences, and not just in the final chapter -Stunning visuals and animations -Great voiceover and music -Intriguing main characters (well except maybe Marcus ) Cons: -Camera is surprisingly atrocious. I had to wrestle with it every time I needed to get a better look around.    Just finished the game and I have to say it's fantastic.

To me, it's one of the deepest single-player and story based game I have played in a long time and I am grateful for this experience. Regarding the decisions you are given, I have to say that they are not always 100% clear and I sometimes did not quite guess right what the game wants to achieve with some of the options. Gameplay and camera also could have been better which is why I only give 9 points from 10, but overall i am very excited and would not mind to witness a continuation of the Detroit universe.

    Gameplay - Tried and true walking simulator with a tiny bit less emphasis on control over monotonous tasking. Even on the "adept" difficulty, button combos rarely exceeded three buttons pressed in tandem. Interactive objects are rarely hidden too well, and light exploration reveals much of what there is to see.

    Graphics - GOOOOOOOORGEOUS

    Sound - Excellent use of ambient noise, coupled with some stellar voice acting performances. The orchestra numbers were hit or miss, but mostly got the job done when it came to denoting the games pace.

    Replayability - It's there in spades. LOTS of potential branches to follow with a visualization of your taken path. However like most Cage games there is a larger narrative being explained that can only be affected so much. Still, well worth two or three plays to see more of the stand-out performances.

    Verdict - A mash-up of David Cages finest work. Of the three narratives you can see a little of each previous Cage title. Kara has the emotional family driven narrative of Heavy Rain, Conner is the detective drama from Indigo Prophecy and Markus shows the supernatural signs of technological instability - nodding back to the supernatural presence in Beyond Two Souls. It really feels like Cage took all the elements that worked in those titles, and lost those that didn't for an overall enjoyable experience. 8/10    … Expand

    Detroit: Become Human, is Quantic Dreams' latest game. It takes place in a visually hyper-realistic slightly futuristic version of Detroit, Michigan. If you like it, then you should try Quantic Dreams' previous games - Beyond: Two Souls, and also Heavy Rain (which you can buy on the PS4 online game store), as well as their earlier games, Fahrenheit (which is also known as Indigo Prophecy)Detroit: Become Human, is Quantic Dreams' latest game. It takes place in a visually hyper-realistic slightly futuristic version of Detroit, Michigan. If you like it, then you should try Quantic Dreams' previous games - Beyond: Two Souls, and also Heavy Rain (which you can buy on the PS4 online game store), as well as their earlier games, Fahrenheit (which is also known as Indigo Prophecy) and Omikron the Nomad Soul (both of these last two can be found at gog.com for cheap. These last two are pc games. All of these games have a similar gameplay style except Omikron, which is very different.

    Detroit: Become Human resembles in many ways the TV show, "Humans," though it was in development before Humans first aired. The game concerns the world in the near future, when people own lifelike robots. These robots are popular with the wealthy but the working class hate them for taking their jobs. Now, perhaps due to a new upgrade, some of the robots are gaining a sense of right and wrong, and wills of their own. The game follows a few different robots to a point where their paths converge. One robot is a young woman whose employer is abusive to his daughter. Another is a caretaker for a wealthy artist whose no-good son is jealous of the robot. A third is a detective who is partnered with another detective who hates robots. The visuals are amazing. The acting is great. The stories are intriguing and at times very suspenseful. The game consists of walking around, finding clues, speaking with other characters, and at times has action sequences that produce quite an adrenalin rush. The game resembles traditional point and click adventures except it has no real puzzles or, the puzzles that do exist are so simple I wouldn't personally even call them puzzles.

    The game also shows you at the end of each chapter, a map indicating what you did in that chapter as well as where you could have done certain things but did not. The things you didn't do are revealed by blank boxes. There are no spoilers in the flowchart. Also, when you speak to characters, blank dialogue choices will appear to indicate that - if you had done certain things in the past - additional dialogue choices would have been available to you. The game also has multiple endings based on choices you make while playing.

    It is a great game, with superlative story, visuals, and acting. I would have given it a 10 if it was not marred by one very bad design flaw. On-screen prompts indicate every little thing you can do. If I can open a door by rotating my thumbstick a certain way, a symbol on-screen will tell me that when I get near the door. If I can pick up a book by pushing my thumbstick up, a symbol on screen will tell me that when I get near the book. If I am looking for someone and knock on their door and ring their doorbell, words will pop up on the screen telling me to discover another way inside. Ya' think?

    The designers might respond, "Yes but in many situations the gesture you need to make with the thumbstick or with the entire controller, is unique to that situation, so we have to give you these symbols."

    My answer to that is, Most of the time the gestures are consistent. Sometimes they're not. The designers should have made it so gestures are consistent so players can learn them in one tutorial chapter and then be on their own. If a particular quirky moment requires something different, OK in that instance show a symbol on screen, but only in those very few quirky moments.

    I cannot even turn these symbols off. They should have made it so you can turn them off and then by toggling a press of the left or right stick, I could turn them on if I need them. But having your hand held all the way through a game is extremely annoying.

    That said, Detroit: Become Human is still a solid 8. It is also unlike any other game you can buy. Yes, it is squarely in the adventure genre (true adventure, not action adventure, meaning it has a lot of plot and is not about action, though it has action scenes here and there) but within that genre Detroit: Become Human takes an approach that is unique and more story-driven than any game (aside from games by the same company) that I can think of.    … Expand

First of all, it is as much a game as it is a mental experiment, a way to challenge you and your values, your definitions of what life, freedom, God and singularity are.

It can be as deeply emotional as it is profound, as it forces you to feel attached to the characters as well as ponder their personal motivations. Its diversity and the choices it offers are also remarkable, much better than those of any Quantic Dream game beforehand, Heavy Rain included. But most of all i was impressed by how the game challenges your perceptions of what's real and what's not, and it does that in a variety of ways, including by using its Main Menu in ways i have never seen before (promoting so-called philosophical surveys, asking you questions, it even goes as far, depending on your choices, as to challenge you to allow the eyecandy android depicted in its menu animations to 'walk free', meaning you will lose her as the 'face of the game', which will be replaced by a (mostly) white image. I loved the way she was implemented, and was really sad to see her go, but it's all about one's values, isn't it? As for the endings, they can be really heart-wrenching as it is really hard (or impossible?) to get the 'good' ones for ALL parties involved, or all 3 main characters - and the fact that they're all wonderfully constructed makes it very hard to decide who you want to sacrifice, especially since the repercussions of your actions are rarely easily apparent in the game. Overall, this was a one of a kind experience and, for me, a complete masterpiece. Well done Quantic Dream, you completely surpassed even my highest expectations!… Expand

    While it does possess the usual David Cage charm that may not appeal to most, I personally found the approach to be problem free and I believed that my choices carried weight.
    That's what Science Fiction allows you to do: suspend your belief. I totally surrendered myself to the world of Detroit and the well-written and relatively grounded characters of Markus, Kara and Connor.
    Exceptionally written dialogue coupled with a fantastic soundtrack and beautifully rendered graphics and animations (some of the best I've ever seen) make this one of the most enjoyable games that I have played in recent memory.
    This game is a work of art and I believe it would appeal to all fans of Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Until Dawn or any games across the Telltale Games catalogue.

    This is an thinking persons game, and obvisouly isn’t for the average high school dropout who sits around 12 hours a day playing trash like COD and Destiny, abuising the f**k out of each other and call that gaming.

    save yourselves a few $ and go see iRobot if you want a decent android story. I wouldn’t call this a game as much as a poorly written interactive movie. Graphics look good, but how couldn’t they, everything is predetermined so it’s not very taxing. David cage is so overrated

    This game is very disappointing. I would strongly encourage players to RENT instead of buy this game. Get it off Redbox or something it is NOT WORTH $60. It's roughly 6 hours at best of gameplay.

    The game itself is reasonably engaging and explores some interesting ideas regarding AI. While certainly unrealistic and overdone in the melodrama sphere, the game is fun to play through.

There's no real replay value here, though, once its done I had no patience to redo everything or even parts of the story (which they give you options to do)

    One thing I do need to mention is that this game has more political biases of the devs being snuck into the game, which as many can guess, leans decidedly left. There's also no nudity of any kind in this game. Even when you visit the in-game android strip club, all the androids are fully clothed.    … Expand

The choices in this game were very intense that they make you question your morality to shape the future of you and the characters that can lead to any sort of ending depending on your choices. Also the pacing of the story is so perfect that it never has a dull moment because the Quantic Dream has managed to pull of on of the most gripping stories I have ever played this year. Once you start playing this video game you will never get your hands off the controller as you want to see more and more off what’s going to happen in the story and how will your choices affect other characters. The game has one of the best story telling ever this year, it may even surpass god of war in terms of story. David Cage has managed to pull one of if not one of the best interactive story games ever. The best part of the story for me was the building up the relationship between Kara and Alice who ran away from their owner (Todd) who abused them and tried to kill them. The reason it was the best part for me because the bonding between Kara and Alice brought me into tears and it was very heart wrenching as the story progresses you tend to care more about their lives because their bonding becomes more important as the story progresses. The more you progress the game the more emotional you will feel as you feel sorry for Kara and Alice to face the world alone just to be free from discrimination and giving the best life possible for Alice. For Kara nothing else matters but to protect Alice and be her mother figure.

    Marcus was an android who later became the leader of Jericho and wanted to free his people from slaver to become the masters. He was similar to the likes of Martin Luther king jr, if you chose the pacifist path and you have the option to chose the violent path but will endanger people around and will destroy public’s opinion.

    Connor was an android send by Cyber life who wanted to investigate why did the deviants start emulating human emotional as he progress the investigation here may question his morality than does he want to betray his creators by joining the side of the deviants or destroy the deviants it depends on your choices.

    The story in my opinion is the best this year because you can change the future depending on your actions and can change the opinions of the public and the deviants in Jericho all which can lead them to be saved or sacrificed for the greater good of freedom for the androids who were suppressed by the humanity by treating them like slaves rather than living beings. To me it’s considered to be Quantic dreams finest work yet and so the game deserves a 10+ for me.    … Expand

    when I got Detroit: Become Human, I was afraid that with the 3 characters and all of the different branching paths that they appeared to be making, I thought that the game would be crushed by It's own weight perhaps by being to confusing with to many plot points and not doing anything interesting.

    The stories of Connor, Kara and Markus are so fascinating and the different choices you can make are kinda scary sometimes because I legitimately felt determined to keep them alive almost like they were in fact real people despite them being game characters and Androids as well, yet the game got me invested and hooked on trying to get the best play through I could, while i haven't finished Im up to the final mission and have decided to write this review, this is an absolute must-buy for any gamer out there to experience and this game is right up there with (2018's) God of war or shadow of the Colossus, thank you for reading    … Expand

    Un nuevo título de Quantic Dream ha desembarcado a PlayStation 4, debo de aclarar antes que nada que este tipo de títulos va dirigido a una pequeña parte de la comunidad gamer.

Este título es una Novela interactiva propiamente dicho, sin embargo la magia de estos títulos es que el desarrollo de la historia y su desenlace está en nuestras manos, en cada decisión que tomemos en cada parte del juego.

    GamePlay.
    Siendo para mí lo más importante en cada vídeojuego ya que es lo que realmente hará de un título bueno o malo. Detroit Become Human tiene un GamePlay bastante simple, los personajes se mueven en su entorno sin problema alguno, la selección de objetos, decisiones y otras interacciones no se ven afectadas en lo más mínimo. Lo hace dinámico y fácil.

    Gráficamente hablando se ve espectacular, si bien es claro un downgrade en el producto final nada que sea de preocuparse, cumple majestuosamente bien su cometido y todo desde los personajes hasta el entorno está totalmente detallado.

    La duración, quizás si solo jugaramos el título una sola vez, la duración del juego sería corta alcanzando entre 10 y 20 horas de juego máximo, sin embargo Detroit nos invita a jugarlo más de una vez, ya que la historia no siempre será la misma, el juego te invita a rejugarlo más de una vez para conocer a fondo sus misterios, sus decenlaces, lo que no puede dar muchas horas para llegar a conocer todos los finales posibles.

    La historia es quizás la parte más importante del juego, ya que como mencionamos anteriormente es variable según las decisiones que se tomen en ella. Lo que nos lleva a que nunca sea la misma trama y el mismo desenlace, como mencionaba en el aparato de duración esto hace que tengamos que pasar más de una vez por la trama para conocer todos los decenlaces posibles, lo que hace aún más genial la historia que se nos muestra. Una ciudad de Detroit en el año 2038 dónde los Androides son parte de la vida cotidiana de los seres humanos, el software de estas máquinas están en constante evolución llegando al punto donde ellas comienzan a cuestionar el motivo de su propia existencia.

    Un título ampliamente recomendable, sin embargo si no eres de quienes gustan las novelas Interactivas y eres más de juegos de acción tómalo con cautela.    … Expand

Even the name of the game is a huge problem and mistake: be come human. The android dont even want to be human, they want to live like independent species(if u play the game, u will understand this). another example is: Connor, an "android robocop" simply a copy of Norman Jayden from heavy rain, they both assertive, weak voice, both detective and have a kindda vulnerable body type, but the way they build Jayden is much better. music also nearly not exist, although the sound effect is very good and quite fit the scence. talk about control, is not feel so good, u can understand this when u touch the PS4 controller, this is not a big problem but is a one of the problem will make u dont even want to keep play the game, so dont even ask about should you replay the game. The game some time have bug and models fragment even you play the game in a PS4 Pro, but maybe some time they will "help" you laugh. this game is the product made from about 6 years ago, so dont expect some thing that extra ordinary or epic in this game, cause all the time, this game tell you what to do with forced dialogs, and some moment you will feels like that should have dialogs choices, but it dont have. Just like heavy rain or beyond 2 soul, this game is drama-interactive, so dont expect any open play style element in this game, the game fill with Quick Time Event system and it's very esily get bored. Im a big fan of heavy rain, and this game is such a dissappointment, it do have style, but soon faded with bug, bored story telling, clunky control and plus some funny models fragment moment, this is the game that you just should play 1 time and go another game.

    I had to rate a 2 instead of 3 for one reason, the entire point of this game is to be an interactive story and there are major issues in that regard.

    People may play through it once an enjoy the story yes, but as it is also a game not just a story there should be replayability. People don't buy games to play them once, and unfortunately the replayability is terrible.

    Trying to replay even a second time reveals many glaring oversights.

    First, there is no way to skip scenes and/or dialogue, or even fast forward; either option could have been easily implemented. Without them you find yourself watching the same exact scenes over and over frustratingly with no recourse other than waiting through boredom.

    Another major issue is they created a checkpoint system they utterly fail to make use of. For example there is a scene that no matter what you will end up in the basement. It's proceeded by many minutes of tedious unskippable dialogue which you have absolutely no interaction or input during... yet once in the basement they neglect to create any checkpoint. This is ridiculous as nothing can be updated on changed before the basement so why force players to sit through this proceeding dialogue ad nauseam. There should be many many more checkpoints, especially scenes where nothing can be changed prior.

    Finally, there is no background master database it follows so you can not simply replay one chapter. Yes this could possibly cause some conflicts but this could have been easily resolved by blocking only conflicted progression... or much more user friendly and not too difficult to implement, use a small measure of predictive storytelling to fill in the gaps.

    Moreover they could have even simply done like other choice based games have and allowed user input to simply fine tune conflicting choices. In the end this is a game and supposed to be enjoyable not monotonous.

    With the tediousness of the aforementioned issues. It is not very enjoyable to playthrough more than once and in fact ends up being frustrating.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have come back to edit this because I was so angry writing the last review that I nearly destroyed the Blue Ray this game was on. It is a bug free, pretty execution of an Interesting story. If you take it (as I did) as an analogy for the African American journey, then you sure as hell better not play the way Malcolm X would, this will destroy all the story lines and you will be punished by EVERYONE you care about being killed. The ending I got I believe to be racist, it is telling people that violent revolution will be harshly punished and is ultimately pointless as we will murder your children with machine guns (this literally happened at the end of my play-through). I maintain a 4/10 is warranted with the play through I had.
    ------------------------------
    You better behave or this game will punish you, choose to fight the humans they will kill your child, your Connor and everyone else. Horrible horrible playthrough left me so upset I deleted the game! They kill the child you spend the game protecting on a 5 second timer FFS! Terrible terrible writing.    … Expand

    It is worth 20 bucks but no more. I'm really liking the game, I wanted to play a game like this one for a long time but I always delayed. The story is good enough but nothing spectacular, it is kind of predictable.

    As usual the writing and direction is as subtle as a brick to the face. A friend said it best, it is the best Cage game, because it is the least Cagey of them.

    Most people get this game. Those that don't shouldn't have bought it anyway. This is interactive storytelling.

And they do it with a AAA budget offering an interactive story experience that really is next level. Yes there are games that offer a great story, great gameplay. Vast world to explore and so on. Games like The Witcher 3, Last Of Us or God Of War. Story wise, none of these games is behind any interactive story game like Detroit. But they are different experiences. Detroit is a build your own movie kind of game. And by nature, because the player isn't focused on leveling up, you pay more attention to the story, And what a story Detroit has. Yes, we've seen elements of it in other movies, games, tv shows, but Detroit really does a great job giving light to the challenges of a future where automation takes over most jobs. Of the issues we humans have acknowledging cultural shifts and accepting new rules. Accepting something that is different from what we are used to. Our history shows that most of us don't like change. But our biggest conquests come from the unwillingness of the few to accept the status quo. Detroit titles says it all. Detroit story is not about Androids. It's about "Becoming human".… Expand

    There are definitely times I rolled my eyes at the game whether it be because of writing or game logic. Though the sheer amount of effect your decisions have on the game is staggering and the game does tell a gripping story even if it is up its own butt at times. The Connor and Kara stories were the most interesting to me because they felt more personal. Marcus' story was a bit too heavyThere are definitely times I rolled my eyes at the game whether it be because of writing or game logic.

    This android story really got me. The best Quantic Dreams game so far and one of the best story games in general (or interactive movies rather). Some moments and choices made me really emotional and when a game manages to do that it means it's a high quality material. 9/10

    Extremely boring, terrible controller mechanics, weird camera angles, typical Hollywood movie type stories with lots of random crashes.

    Я никогда не играл в игры такого жанра и это для меня первая игра от Quantic Dream. Меня игра очень сильно поразила. Своим сюжетом, своей невероятно кинематографичной постановкой, голливудской музыкой и потрясной игрой актеров. Ты очень сильно переживаешь за персонажей и стараешься правильный выбор чтобы было все хорошо. Ты в буквальном смысле смотришь крутое кино. Это очень здорово.Я никогда не играл в игры такого жанра и это для меня первая игра от Quantic Dream. Меня игра очень сильно поразила.

Потрясающая графика, проработанные анимации и общее техническое исполнение сделано великолепно. Все это создает мощное и цельное произведение, крепкую, сильную, эмоциональную, чувственную и пронзительную историю.
    Я в полном восторге.
    Мне бы очень хотелось увидеть сиквел Детройта)

    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]
