Detroit: Become Human hit me way harder than I expected. Not because of the choices alone, but because of how human the entire journey feels. The characters: Connor, Kara, Markus — each carry a completely different perspective, and together they create one of the strongest narrative experiences I’ve played in years. Im sorry i played this game so late, dont hate me! Better late than never i guess? :) The writing …

Great game, almost ruined by David Cage (another Quantic Dream Tuesday) ‘Detroit’ is infamous for going super viral upon its release and being claimed the most emotional and touching game ever made… And then a reputation like this actually backfired at it, as lots of people who analyzed the game deeper then claimed it to be really manipulative towards the player, pointed at the plot having more holes than a beehive, …

Bought it because people said "your choices matter." Thought they were exaggerating. They weren't. I've never restarted a checkpoint so many times just because I couldn't live with something I chose 30 seconds earlier. Every time I thought I knew who was right, the game gave me another reason to question it. By the end I wasn't trying to get the "best ending" anymore. I just wanted everyone to survive... somehow. …

RECOMMENDED 10/10 - Absolute Cinema. If you are looking for a game where your decisions actually carry weight and the world feels alive, this is it. After finishing my first playthrough, I am still recovering from the sheer magnitude of this cinematic masterpiece. Choices That Actually Matter: Unlike many games that promise "branching paths" but lead to the same ending, Detroit features one of the most intricately …

An interactive and uniquely cinematic sci-fi drama that is constantly throwing hard choices at you that alter the path of the story. I loved this so much I am going to play through it again just to see what kind of alternative ending I can get.

96% of the 376 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Detroit: Become Human. The complaint that keeps coming up: gameplay is mostly quick-time events and minimal interaction. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Detroit: Become Human received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. OpenCritic, another aggregator, assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 71% of critics. Destructoid's Chris Carter said that, despite tiring of Quantic Dream's penchant for detective stories, he enjoyed its execution and Connor's "calm demeanor and android origin". Carter praised the setting, calling it "believable" and "captivating", while also noting that the "smaller moments" were among its strengths. Michael Goroff of Electronic Gaming Monthly favoured the fact that the playable characters were androids because their second-class…

My ex-girlfriend (Alicia), who honestly was the best person I ever met in my life, loved this game and wanted to buy it for us to play together. But, due to its high price and our financial situation at the time, we postponed it for another period. Unfortunately, she couldn’t…

The narrative really pulls you in with meaningful choices that change how the story unfolds, and switching between different characters gives the whole experience a lot of variety and emotional weight. The visuals and voice acting are impressive on PC, and seeing how your decisions ripple through the branching plot can be genuinely satisfying. It isn’t heavy on traditional gameplay — a lot of it is…
