Detroit: Become Human Reviews
Detroit: Become Human feels like the best Quantic Dream has ever put in all of their games. It is indeed an interactive movie, with quick time events as dialogue choices, but at every scene it makes us feel on the edge of our seat, hoping for the best of this cast of robotic characters and the world they live in.

Quantic Dream strikes again and delivers a great game with no major flaws. If you own a PlayStation 4, you shouldn't miss David Cage's latest game, because he has proven he still has something left to say.

If you like a rich deep storyline along the same lines as games like The Walking Dead and Life is Strange and don't care about a lack of "agency" which has always been illusory in video games then you will most definitively enjoy this game as much as I have. For me, Detroit: Become Human is both a reminder and illustration of the many challenges and the triumphs, the sadness and joys that humanity and individuals have gone through. To me it was life-affirming, and I considered it deep, rich and meaningful. Or maybe I am just being melodramatic about all of this who knows. Roger Ebert once said that video games will never be art. Though that statement can be and has been argued for and against I believe Detroit: Become Human is if not a work of art is definitely a game interwoven with artistic vision. And that vision was an absolute joy to watch unfold and play.
Detroit: Become Human continues PlayStation 4’s run of tremendous AAA exclusives with an engaging story and captivating characters that keeps you wanting more.
I strongly recommend this game made by Quantic Dream. It impressed me under many point of view, and it can be considered the true heir of Heavy Rain, taking its strongest aspects (gameplay, interaction with the environment) and improving its flaws (a great plot and an incredible graphic). Though, the game still has some imperfections, like sometime too small environments, and stereotypical plot twists. But in any case, I suggest you to live the experience that this game can give to you, if you love graphic adventures and if you’re fan of Quantic Dream’s creations.

This game has it all. If you are any type of fan of the interactive genre then this game is definitely for you. Not sure this game will sway newcomers to the genre but will definitely grab anyone that is remotely interested in it. Another must-have title in a long line of must have titles PlayStation has delivered this gen.
Overall, I think Detroit: Become Human is OK. I’ll forever praise Quantic Dream’s ability to write an amazing game that captures the player. The voice acting, writing, and motion capture had me from the beginning. The wonky controls and generic story left me wondering if I should give it a second playthrough or sell it. All in all, if you are a fan of Quantic Dream games and deep stories, you’ll like Detroit.
Detroit: Become Human is another playable movie from Quantic Dream and David Cage, and it is so much more and better than the previous games (Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls) – partly because of the great story, the acting and the great graphics, and partly because of the introduction of flowcharts so you actually know what you've missed. I really love this game and so far it's my game of the year.
If you’re looking for a good choice tailored game, then Detroit Become Human may just be for you
Sony hits another home run with Detroit Become Human, one of the top cinematic adventures to date.
One of the most compelling and immersive games of this generation.
Those who have played a Quantic Dream game before should know somewhat what to expect from Detroit: Become Human. However, there is so much more to be found in the game with the excellent narrative that you have complete control over.
"To be or not to be?" may be one of the most complicated questions you can ask yourself, but in this tragic tale of revolution and realization David Cage and Quantic Dream do their best to attempt an answer. A visually gorgeous, somewhat clunky, but generally excellent interactive narrative experience more than deserving of multiple runs through.
Cinematic stories are part of video games, Detroit Become Human is one of those great stories.

Gamers often speak of how videogames should be viewed as an art form and Detroit: Become Human makes a case for that argument with relevant and topical scenarios. Detroit: Become Human is easily Quantic Dream's best game to date and David Cage's ultimate vision come to life.
The best part of Detroit: Become Human is without a doubt the story, so it’s a huge shame I can’t talk about it in detail. If you’re not into story-driven games, then the gameplay certainly won’t engross you enough to make it worthwhile as the narrative is all Detroit really has. However, if you are interested in giving it a go, it’s a fascinating experience as the game explores AI and opens a dialogue about the impact they’ll have in society, their humanity and exactly what rights they should have if they were to become sentient. The story does have its up and downs for sure – there are plenty of tropes, clichés and a bit too much melodrama that stops it short of being a literary masterpiece. It also doesn’t bring any new ideas to the table about AI going rouge – but then again, as a piece of entertainment it does as described – it entertains. While it doesn’t excel as a “game” in the sense of the word, it’s easily one of the best experiences of its kind I’ve played, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Detroit: Become Human provides gamers with a thrilling interactive drama experience. Following in the footsteps of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, it ultimately delivers a far greater experience. The game is chock-full of memorable and inspiring moments, and thanks to excellent acting from the cast, emotions and feelings are brought to life to a greater extent than we had anticipated.

Detroit: Become Human wants to tell an emotional story about existence and the self-finding of machines as artificial life, but degrates them to projection screens for the players' own human will, making them nothing more than lifeless tools. The visuals, main idea and the new flowchart element are great, but in the end, Detroit is a game about story - and its narrative isn't just flawed, it's fundamentally broken in concept.

Detroit: Become Human is a well made, ambitious game with some major issues.
Detroit: Become Human is another masterpiece from Quantic Dream which will make us morally think about what the near future holds for humanity. There are so many references to our current present lifestyles pointed out, as people are more and more dependent on smart devices, which will move you deeply.
