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.

Even with its flaws, Detroit: Become Human marks a monumental moment in story-driven gaming.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quantic Dreams and David Cage brings us into the future where androids walk alongside humans. And everything depends on the choices you make.

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.

Detroit: Become Human is a design achievement in which every choice you make matters. The narrative evolves with ease, great rhythm and without ridiculous situations. This is a game that we can recommend, whether you are fond of classic science fiction. We are sure that you will spend whole evenings talking to other players about the decisions they made and how they affected the world around them.

Detroit: Become Human is a stellar example of storytelling in the video game space. What initially seems like a futuristic science-fiction story quickly steers into a very real struggle of freedom vs. oppression which has been endured throughout history. With just one single playthrough, Detroit: Become Human will warm your heart, provoke your thoughts, and light a fire in your stomach.

A cinematic approach, meaningful choices and the way the destiny of the three main characters intertwine are this game's most appealing aspects, but fiddly controls and an eventful but not necessarily original nor subtle diminished the experience slightly. This is still a step up from the developer's previous effort Heavy Rain.

Detroit: Become Human is a movie you are directing. Each and every character's fate is in your hands, and along the way, you'll live and laugh and cry with them over and over again. Definitely the best title from Quantic Dream to date.

Detroit: Become Human has an excellent narrative that makes us think that the decisions we make really affect the story - even if that may be just an impression. The technical aspects are impeccable. Detroit's biggest problems are the QTEs (it's time to change that system) and certain elements of the story.

A game with something to say, Detroit: Become Human merges the mediums of cinema and video game, with an outstanding result.

For a game that relies so heavily on its narrative to carry it, Detroit: Become Human fails to excel.
