I very much enjoyed my play through of this. Had to reload a few scenes after a failed quicktime or something but got an ending I was happy with. I especially enjoyed the main menu ai lady, that was a bit of a mind screw.
Great game, this was the first game that got me hooked on purely narrative focused games. The androids are a stand-in for proles and Markus is essentially Lenin.
Yeah that’s the aspect of it I really enjoyed as well. Almost surprised it was even made because the message isn’t exactly subtle.
But it is super, super watered down to the point of being lip service rather than any meaningful story about revolution…
I never played it but saw a playthrough of it when it first released. Sorta like playing it but definitely annoying when the YTer would choose something I wouldn’t have picked
It’s definitely very cinematic. I found playing through added to the immersion because sometimes you screw up and then a character dies or something.
I also loved the graphics, I’m not a graphics nerd personally, I still play the first uncharted games, the first 2 infamous games and Spiderman Shattered Dimensions on PS3 and never care about graphics but when I saw Detroit: Become Human I was in awe. And yeah definitely the scenes felt like they had a lot of weight behind each scenes, which I really enjoyed. As much as I like the Walking Dead Telltale games, there are only like 2-3 choices in each chapter that ACTUALLY matter, if that.
I noticed that as well, Telltale games are fun, but choices ultimately end up being superficial where most of them don’t really matter in the end. Here, it really did feel like there was weight behind them, and the fact that you could lose characters through the game made it more impactful.
I love this game. I did well on my first playthrough, but of course I managed to get the two characters I wanted to save most killed :(
I’ve played Farenheit and Heavy Rain and read a bit about Cage, I feel I’d like his previous works more but I’ll give it a try.
It feels a lot like Heavy Rain, and I really enjoyed the story. It’s not without flaws, but the characters are good, and it’s really well done overall.

The premise of the story is basically that androids are being used as slaves, and one of the options that becomes available is to start a revolution.
