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.

I can't agree at all regarding the controls or story in relation to Heavy Rain. That game's controls were far clunkier, QTEs were much more confusing (and redundant) at times, and the storytelling isn't anywhere near as strong as Detroit's.
Characters were appropriate for the setting and much better acted than Heavy Rain's, as well.

How does Detroid control? It sounds dumb but I cant tell if its gonna be as clunky as Beyond and Heavy rain were or if they actually fixed it to be way smoother now.
