Cliches and questions about humanity. That’s how I would sum up Detroit: Become Human.
These games / interactive movie kind of things are very cool at times. Telltale mastered them, and many others have tried their luck after that. Detroit: Become Human is for me one of the firsts that really captures the same feeling of your choices mattering at all. Also the theming of androids and humans, and how they need to learn to live in harmony is very interesting to me - I happen tolike Alastair Reynolds a lot for example.
This is one of those games that made care about characters. Kara and Alice had a touching story about how family doesn’t always need to be the one you were born to and there’s many ways to find your own. Connor had this kinda silly thriller / pulp detective story going on, and character itself was really fun. I especially enjoyed the relationship with other detective, Hank. Also, a dog. Jackson Avery’s - I mean Markus’ story was least interesting. Not because the story of android uprising, that was great written and eye opening in a way, but Markus as character is pretty boring. Maybe it’s the way actor delievered their lines.
Gameplay is as simple as it gets. You can walk around and interact with items and characters between cutscenes, and then you get either to press or smash buttons on quicktime events. At least on easier difficulty failing was almost impossible. Or then I’m just that good. :)
Overall Detroit: Become Human is an experience that I would higly recommend - especially if you can play it with other person as a company like I did. It really sparks up discussions.
