Detroit: Become Human Reviews

"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.
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.
One of the most compelling and immersive games of this generation.
Sony hits another home run with Detroit Become Human, one of the top cinematic adventures to date.
If you’re looking for a good choice tailored game, then Detroit Become Human may just be for you
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.
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.
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.
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.

Detroit: Become Human continues PlayStation 4’s run of tremendous AAA exclusives with an engaging story and captivating characters that keeps you wanting more.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
