Me and my sister played it together, splitting the characters between us. She played Connor and the majority of Markus, and I played Kara and helped with Markus decisions. It made it a little awkward when it jumped really quickly between characters, like during action scenes, but that was part of the fun.

It's rare that a "decision-based game" is really, actually decision-based. Like it's incredible how so small a detail can play a huge impact later on in the game. And I loved it. It makes you think. It makes you sit there and agonize over your choices (I was really glad I could actually pause during the games), weigh the pros and cons of each choice, and you just sit there, terrified, on the edge of your seat while you watch and see how your decisions play out. There's so many different outcomes, no one gets the same ending twice.

I would highly, highly recommend this game. If you don't already have this game, GET IT, you won't be sorry.

Exactly what you expect from a Quantic Dream game

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019

A gorgeous looking interactive movie full of beautifully realized characters and a poignant story in which your choices really matter. However, the other gameplay elements are really just there to keep you feeling like your'e part of it all (and not much else).

If you're looking for an interactive movie that makes you feel like an active participant, then this is a great choice.

There's also an insane amount of content here. It felt a lot bigger than their previous games. It will take dozens of hours (40-50+ ?) just to complete one playthrough and there are multiple endings with multiple branching story lines that will be missed the first time around.

Great game with amazing graphics

The media could not be loaded.

As you can see in the video I provided above, this game has crazy realistic graphics! Also, there are so many choices for you to make, it feels like you are never completely finished with the game (there are so many endings and possibilities). Loading screens? where? because the loading time for the game is that fast. Every storyline you choose is extremely entertaining! I didn't hear much of anything about this game before I bought it, but I am so glad I did because I have been playing it non-stop since thanksgiving.

Fun choose your adventure type game

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2019

This review is for the PS4 version.

Although I have not played the previous games from this game studio that includes Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, Detroit Become Human, makes me want to go back and explore those games to see what I missed. In a game that reminds me of one of my favorite movies, the original Blade Runner, it has that kind of look and feel that almost makes me feel like I am Decker in a new story. In this case, you play multiple characters throughout the story, including a Decker-like negotiator for the police force.

The graphics are well done and detailed with its futuristic landscape of Detroit with a story that really depends on the choices you make with the various characters throughout the game. Having just completed AC: Origins, this game feels slow paced and the game controls a bit clumsy as compared to what I was used to. To be fair though, this is that type of game, similar to Life is Strange, among others, where the game focuses more on choice you own adventure type story more than action and being an open world game.

The game has good voice acting and the music and background provide for good atmosphere. The game is a bit linear as you don’t really have much freedom to explore other than the immediate area that you are in. A big red “do not go here” type banner keeps you from wandering too far.

Early on, I found the story to be compelling enough to keep me motivated in playing. The game starts fairly slowly though with various mundane tasks to do in the opening scenes. Some camera movement is a bit finicky and as I previously mentioned, find the game controls to be a bit sluggish and clumsy. Although the game is a bit short, maybe 10 hours of gameplay, by the end, I had become emotionally invested in the story and the characters. The game really has a good story that could be made into a movie, one that I would watch.

With that being said, this game is a nice change of pace from my frantic searching for quests in the AC series and it has interested me enough to go back to play the previous efforts from this game studio. If you like the previous efforts such as Heavy Rain or games like Life is Strange, then this will keep you occupied for a while, exploring the various choices and differing stories that those choices result in. There are some many game variables, that your exact experience and story may be unique from anyone else’s game.

One of the best games of 2018!

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

I went into this game knowing very little of the game and its premise, but boy was I pleasantly surprised by what I was given! I never played any other titles by the developers of this game, nor did I see any advertisements for this game; the only way I found this game was through my recommendations from friends.

With so many different cliff-hangers and characters I could relate to, I found myself spell-bound at every corner. From the very first mission with Connor, to the final missions with Kara's storyline, or Markus's heartfelt moments, I was sad to see the game end.

In my opinion this is one of the best games of 2018 and definitely deserved to be on your gaming shelf!

A must add to your ps4 collection

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

In this game, you take control of three playable characters that, as the story progresses, will alternate between them. The premise of the story is that you witnessing history as that the androids are becoming more aware of their existence and it is up to you to decide how it plays out. Every action you do will have reaction that can either help you or harm you. It’s a story driven game that will challenge you to get answers that you need through conversations, solving puzzles, and being more aware of your surroundings. There are quick time events and if you fail to hit a command or make a selection, that in itself will have an affect. I love these types of games and this game is definitely a must to add to your ps4 collection.

Bought this after watching streamers

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021

I've watched American & Japanese game streamers play this French-designed game, and my breath was taken away for movie-quality game. Kara in CG is more attractive than the motion actress (sorry). As a 2-year old game since it first came out, $20 was a steal. This is definitely one of the best games I've ever seen.

BTW, I bought PS4 in April 2020 only because I wanted to play FF7R.

Awesome interactive movie w/ MANY branching paths

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2019

So this is one of those games that fits into the "love it or hate it" category. If there's one thing that Quantic Dream does well it's making interactive movies with a strong narrative focus. I would say this is their best, and most innovative game yet. They push the boundaries of choice/consequence in games and by the end you really feel as though the decisions you made had an impact on the overall story. I will say that this game makes none to subtle nods to racism and civil rights and it can feel a bit ham-fisted at times (like androids being forced to ride at the back of the bus) but I found the story to be engaging and entertaining as long as you don't expect groundbreaking and thoughtful social commentary from this game. It's fun, the graphics, environments & facial animations are nothing short of exceptional and the characters are well realized, esp Conner and Hank and their excellent story/chemistry. If you enjoyed Heavy Rain or Beyond Two Souls or you like the Telltale games or similar narrative focused titles like Until Dawn or Life is Strange, then I feel confident saying that you will thoroughly enjoy this game. One really innovative feature is the "flowchart" which keeps track of all the choices you made and shows them in a chart along with all the branching paths and "nodes" that you unlock as you make different choices. You have the ability to go back to play any chapter so you can make different choices to see how it plays out. Which is great so you don't have to start the game over just to try out different decisions. It's really a daunting task that Quantic Dream was able to put this many decisions into the game and still have a coherent story. I think I read that there were over 1,000 pages of dialogue in the game, while a typical movie has about 50-100 max. Overall I'd say this was a very enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone who's a fan of the genre. As long as you take it for what it is and don't expect some profound new take on the "android with a soul" plotline it's great fun. Definitely better than the previous 2 games from QD imo. Give it a try, you might love it.
