Detroit: Become Human is the best adventure ever created by Quantic Dream, thanks to a rich and complex story that really changes and adapts to every choice you make, allowing you to explore different paths by using the integrated storyflow, from which you can load a single checkpoint and make different choices.

Racism and slavery is bad, folks. You can probably figure that out without playing Detroit, and if you can’t then David Cage’s writing isn’t going to change your backwards thinking in any way.
Detroit: Become Human is a great prediction of our nearest future, where rise of the unemployment among humans will be caused by an ever-increasing automation. But most importantly, it's an emotional story about the cruelty of our world, about fighting for freedom — and a price you have to pay to gain it. And the best Quantic Dream game to date.

I am still working to unlock floating branches on this Yggdrasil of a story tree, so I'm almost certain there are dark corners of this world that will give me more of what I'm looking for. The concept of self-aware robotic people has been explored for decades, and Detroit: Become Human makes sure you have plenty of reasons to explore it for at least more than a few hours. After all, the story, much like Chloe, shows plenty of life.
Developer Quantic Dream continues to solidify their pedigree in creating narrative driven cinematic experiences. Aside from a few story and design stumbles, Detroit: Become Human offers an engaging adventure with great presentation, meaningful choices, and plenty of replay value.
If you are a fan of the kind of gameplay mechanics Quantic Dream puts out, Detroit is more than capable enough to satify your thirst. But David Cage's latest game fails to tell a coherent and captivating story. It doesn't or can't answer the questions it puts forward.

The mix of strong storytelling, great acting and dreamy music led to a grand tale of epic proportions. it is hard to imagine how far video games have come and how much emotions they can invoke.

Is Detroit: Become Human, David Cage's last chance to prove himself. I honestly don't know the answer but I can say that Detroit lacks both the magnificent scale and the memorable narrative his previous games are well known for. Quantic Dream's latest title could have had a lot to say but it eventually gives up and leaves the scene. If you're a fan of Cage's previous games, give Detroit a shot, even though it will probably leave you very disappointed

Detroit become human is a game of special kind, it will be unfair to compare it to other video games, its a game that dosen't shy away from discussing controversial topics and not by telling you about it but with making you live in it and see it first hand, it's a philosophical game that will make you think about everything you know

Detroit: Become Human clearly lets my genuine emotion out of me, I wasn’t sure if I was impersonating how the character should have chosen or was it me doing those choices? A lot of those dialogues resonated with me, fighting and arguing over what I should’ve decided. I was so invested in the gameplay that every decision tends to get harder and harder – with an outcome that is so unforgiving and sometimes gratifying. This game is a twisted interpretation of an extreme reality: where segregation, racial discrimination, slavery and mental abuse still exists. I truly believe that a lot of people can identify themselves with the character at some point for so many different reasons and it shows us that wrong decisions are sometimes necessary to get the job done. The algorithm in coming up with those intricate flowchart is a masterpiece on its own. So who says you can’t learn a thing or two in a video game? It even showed me how to become more human. Don’t you agree?
Even with its flaws, Detroit: Become Human marks a monumental moment in story-driven gaming.
Quantic Dream have given us a game that is engaging, packed full of emotion, has brilliant acting performances and carries a very powerful message. It’s almost infinitely repayable without ever having the exact same experience twice because they’ve delivered on their promise of a massive branching storyline, with each chapter having numerous possible outcomes each with a ripple effect that impacts the remaining game. It does have some minor noticeable lip sync issues that I noticed and the camera can be the cause of some frustration, but not to the point that it takes away from the cinematic experience or makes the game unplayable at all.
If you are a fan of games by Telltale Games, you have fond memories of Heavy Rain or Life is Strange, then you will definitely have a great time with Detroit: Become Human.

David Cage has once again succeeded in presenting an exciting story that also raises interesting questions. These are of a moral nature, but also socially critical. Although we as humans sit in front of the screen, at a certain point we might find it difficult to explicitly choose one of the two parties. But in order to get something to do as players, we may again become active as investigators. These are individual cases, but the "red thread" leads us into the overall structure of the story and when the story really unfolds, you get really caught up and you literally devour one chapter after the other. The ever-present curiosity, the ever-recurring question of what would have happened if you had behaved differently in one situation or another. For all those who like this kind of game even a little bit, the game offers great entertainment, for fans it is once again a masterpiece of storytelling, which Quantic Dream has delivered here. You can be curious what David Cage and his team will present us next. Maybe the renewed hunt for a serial killer, this time with more freedom, or something completely different? Whatever it will be, you can already look forward to it.

Detroit: Become Human forces us to constantly make decisions that will test our morale and our ability to face the unpredictable consequences that result from them, but Quantic Dream continues without hitting the right key. This latest work represents a small step forward for the "interactive drama" typical of the French studio, but its proposal, so dependent on the narrative, falters once again because of the problems generated by a script that is left at half gas and which in This occasion is too simplistic and Manichean.

Detroit: Become Human is genuinely beautiful, with impressive facial expressions and impeccable lip-sync. Cutscenes bring life to the world and characters to make you feel like you’re genuinely a part of this narrative.
Detroit: Become Human is a solid interactive narrative from start to finish and David Cage's best game yet. For 39.99€ (at the moment of writing) it is worth the buy, especially if you like the genre.
