Played through the game in a week and I'd say 79 is a pretty fair meta score. I'd personally give it the game a 7. And like other story driven games, I'm not keen to replay it anytime soon - hence why I traded it in.
[MINI REVIEW] My verdict.. better than Beyond, by far but not quite as good as Heavy Rain. Which is a bit of a disappointment as I am fascinated at the premise and setting of the game. Detroit does have a good cast with some of my favourite actors in it; Clancy Brown, Lance Henriksen, anyone? And some of the best looking graphics I've seen in-game.
Negatives, the game has clunky controls and awkward QTE's that have you wrestling around with your controller like a madman/woman else your characters suffer an ill fate should you miss to hit the right command. Story despite a promising start falls flat and a lot of cringy dialogue and text.
It does have some excellent moments in the game that pull on your heartstrings and a lot of options for replayability. Sadly, it is let down by the story, dull characters (barring Connor, Hank and a few others) and some poor writing.
