Depending on which way these relationships swing, some can drastically alter the options available late on, opening up extra options not otherwise available. Seemingly innocent exchanges suddenly hold significant weight as they fluctuate the way minor characters feel about you. It’s here that Detroit: Become Human does well to bring some gravitas to some of the less meaningful dialogue exchanges used to build character. Having played through the game 3 times, it’s fair to say most of the big, meaningful changes are locked to the final few chapters of the game but there’s still a fair amount of deviation to be had thanks to the brilliantly implemented relationship mechanic. Without giving too much away, the story develops well with only a few plot holes and narrative inconsistencies, overshadowed by plenty of surprise twists and shocking moments to keep you engaged throughout.

What follows are three distinct subplots that see you take control of different androids as they break free of their conventional programming and become sentient in their respective plotlines. The opening chapter does well to introduce the main gameplay mechanics and tone of the game, with you taking control of one of the lead protagonists Connor (voiced by Bryan Dechart) during a tense hostage negotiation with a rogue android. Split between three different narrative perspectives and merging the best parts of the studio’s previous two blockbuster games, Detroit is a well written adventure for the most part with just enough meaningful choices and deviating narrative paths to give a much better illusion of choice compared to Beyond: Two Souls and the Telltale games in the same genre. ![]() Quantic Dream’s latest interactive adventure, Detroit: Become Human, is a gripping, thought provocative tale about androids becoming sentient and rising up against humans. ![]() Quantic Dream’s Best Narrative Experience So Far ![]()
