So finally a proper article, more or less. My wife pushed me into FINALLY getting a PS4 and with it I was finally able to play my previously purchased copy of "Detroit: Become Human". Quantic Dreams as the studio is called has produced "Heavy Rain" and "Beyond Two Souls" both fairly decent hits in their time (with "Beyond Two Souls" boasting the acting talents of Wilem Defoe & Ellen Page) but these games have more or less put the choose your own adventure style of gaming in a Triple-A market, giving players the feeling that they're not exactly playing a game, they're more or less controlling a movie. I've played "Heavy Rain" and despite having issues with it (issues I'll get into when I discuss spoilers for "Detroit") the game was decent. "Detroit: Become Human" is what "Heavy Rain" was trying to be, therefore it's the superior of the two and undeniably the better game. But is "Detroit: Become Human" good? The short answer is yes.
Overall, I give the game a 7/10, it has a great cast, a fairly interesting (although predictable) story, the decisions actually matter and the Flow Chart feature helps you see what could have been without showing you EXACTLY what could have happened. I enjoyed this game but like "Heavy Rain" I won't be replaying it anytime soon, I might replay a few chapters here and there but diving in the game again, no. I won't bother discussing the obvious parallels it has with real-world events and I won't bother discussing the plot at length, it's basically androids become self-aware. The game misses a few opportunities to really consider the impact of where the story could go, and again I think it's become the game is bogged down in real-world parallels but overall it was a decent experience. 7/10 would recommend BUT ONLY if you enjoyed "Heavy Rain". Now on to Spoilers.
