lower than I thought.... cant believe someone gave it a 40, that review lost his mind.

go read the review ....

Detroit: Become Human wants to move you. It wants to elicit an emotional response through its story. The thing is, it really doesn't. The flowchart is a nice inclusion and adds some variance, but when the narrative is as cringey and ham-fisted as it is you won't want to play through it multiple times.

4 Out of 10

The illusion of choice creates tension

Its message is poorly delivered
Story is muddled
Silly dialogue is quite common

Even if you can overlook the troublesome philosophies that permeate Detroit, you still won’t find much interesting here. The story loses a lot of its charm once it goes from dealing with day-to-day android life to trying to tell a huge event that will change the shape of civilization. It falls into a common trap of video game writing, as it forces the player into life or death situations constantly. These mostly fall flat and players are left with a game that really doesn’t have much to say that wasn’t already incredibly obvious from the start.

Racism and slavery is bad, folks. You can probably figure that out without playing Detroit, and if you can’t then David Cage’s writing isn’t going to change your backwards thinking in any way. 



I may get it later after looking at some reviews and maybe playing beyond two souls. I got a hefty backlog of games and anime so I can wait on it. I'm glad it got a good score though.

The game is currently seating above "Until Dawn". A game I absolutely loved and one of my biggest surprises of the generation. I will get this game fr sure, but first I need to finish playing GoW!!! 😁

Have fun with God of War :) Until Dawn was okay in my opinion(but i'm happy for you, it was a cool suprises yes), Heavy Rain was good.. and Detroit Become Human will be an unforgettable experience, i think.


Hardcore Gamer: "Though it comes off as heavy-handed at times, Detroit tells an endearing story that verges on the profound, diving deep into the nature of humanity itself. It proves that interactivity and focused storytelling aren’t mutually exclusive and that the two can enhance each other given a proper degree of talent behind the scenes". 90 %

Games are so much more than just fun. And this is great for the games-industry! If editors do not rate quality but just a game with a very bad score - because they are against such types of games, they are not objective. There are also people who rated "The Last of Us" bad (lol), because they dont like games with the topic (sad world when strong quality is purposely made bad) -.- By the way, "Detroit Become Human" cost over $ 40 million (development costs).

80-82 is around where I was expecting it to land, tho I was hoping for higher. I’ll likely pick this up when it drops to $25.

Eh, 7/10 is not mediocre (which means not very good).  

VideoGamer - 4/10
Digitally Downloaded - 2/5
Slant Magazine - 2.5/5
God is a Geek - 5/10

Those are closer to what mediocre is. Considering it will settle around 77/78, I'd say it's doing fine numerically. 

Those guys are obviously retarded. No matter how bias you are giving a game that looks and sounds like this one lower than 6 is just plain stupid. If the gameplay is not for you then why even review it to give a biased score? I have seen some scenes from the game and for what it is it looks very interesting just from the graphics and lighting alone you can tell the level of effort and polish that has gone into it, Not to mention the voice acting and screen capturing.

I agree. When I think of 4/10, I think functionally broken or massively buggy. I can understand a 6/10 for not liking a game, but multiple points lower than that should be reserved for broken projects.

Some consider 5/10 average and detract from there. It seems really off since most use the 7-10 scale when it comes to games.

Hmm never played heavy rain. While I slightly enjoyed Beyond Two souls because I like story heavy games this was to story heavy for me. The game play was lacking big time. I like a nice mix.

i understand :) "Detroit Become Human" has more gameplay and playable characters than "BTS", says the developer. You can play the demo in PS4Store, if you like :)

Oh there's a demo? Didn't know. Going to give it a shot now. Thanks!



ill pick it up next month
