The editors didn't like
Flawed premise
Dopey script
Counterintuitive controls
Total failure to meaningfully engage with the real-world issues it invokes
Developer
Its message is poorly delivered
Story is muddled
Silly dialogue is quite common
Poor M/KB controls
Too passive for some
Hard to 100%
Flowcharts constantly remind you of the game you're playing and cheapen your involvement
Blatant and shallow appropriation of real-life events stick out like a sore thumb
Some secondary characters exhibit an obvious lack of detail
The illusion of choice
Realistic depictions of violence and mental anguish might not sit well with the audience
Having to juggle 'interact' and 'rotate camera' on the same analog stick
Cringy controls on character movement
Small bit of mip-mapping and the occasional framerate hitch
But not impactful for either
Dialogue choices are occasionally counter intuitive
David Cage's games have a reputation for being ambitious failures, outsized vision let down by time, technology, or videogame conventions. Detroit: Become Human is more of the same - but by that very nature feels less ambitious than before, while simultan...

Abstract: With a gargantuan 4,000-page script, it is a near-miracle that Detroit: Become Human manages to tell a single coherent story at all. Yet this choose-your-own-adventure-style video game, in which humans live alongside an oppressed android workforce, has hu...

Sensational graphics, An intriguing storyline about the rise of artificial intelligence, Atmospheric, capturing the feelings of the androids as they evolve, Some decent gameplay mechanics around crime investigation levels,
Not gamey enough, too many ‘press this button now' instructional bits, Reduced replayability interest thanks to the addition of branching story options at the end of each level, David Cage's storytelling remains very hit and miss, and the misses are
Excellent graphics, Great story, Multiple branches with many outcomes and consequences to your actions, Good investigation scenes
Gameplay is simply button presses most of the time, Not as interactive as some might hope
How you get on with Detroit: Become Human is entirely how you feel about the level of control you are offered.It is, easily, the developer's biggest, most impressive choose-you-own-adventure yet, with multiple plot strands and conclusions. But still feels...

Abstract: Right now, you could throw a penny in a room and it would hit an android rebellion. Between Westworld and Blade Runner 2049, TV and film has its share of transhumanist reveries, all packed to the gills with questions about artificial intelligence, all co...

Gameplay is simply button presses most of the time,Not as interactive as some might hope
Where Detroit: Become Human will live or die is in the level of interactivity it offers throughout the game experience.What we've played so far feels just about right, with the right levels of gameplay to keep us intrigued in the plot, but we'll need to p...

Abstract: SONYIt's fair to say that Detroit Become Human has attracted a fair bit of controversy this past year, for reasons you've probably read a hundred times before.And if you're looking for any further comment on those headline-grabbing stories, you won't find...
After playing through the opening hours of Detroit: Become Human I'm excited to see more, but it feels like its narrative and thematic ambition have already been explored in and outside of the medium in far more compelling ways.The clumsy execution of mat...

Ideologically challenging, Well written and acted, Excellent replay value, Impressive motion capture, Complicated, mature themes
Clunky game engine, Cumbersome character controls
The idea that a video game is confident enough to eschew the rush to open world conformity that arguably plagues the industry at the moment to instead deliver an expansive and complex on the rails experience that isn't afraid to pitch at and attempt to ex...
