Detroit: Become Human (2018)

I've really enjoyed this game! I think it's more close to Heavy Rain than Beyond Two Souls but with a lot of improvements. The story is engaging and the decisions seems to have real consequences on it. When you finish the game I love you can revisit every chapter, change the actions and see how it change the world, like if you have a machine travel.

I think I've got the better ending and maybe I'll play again to do the oposite.

Play it if you liked any other Quantic Dream games or if you want to enjoy a very cool sci-fi interactive story. You can play it in easy mode, perfect for people don't have gamepad skills.

I believe I got the "good ending" on my first play-through, let's see what happens when I play differently this time and be more firm with my choices (some parts tend to be inconsistent; just one major decision could actually turn the whole plot around despite having one course of action throughout the game).

Now going through my second play-through. Let's see if the plot gains some depth now with some new actions.

Finished the game in two sittings. I don't want to rate it yet as I want to experience the full game's worth through its replayability value. I finished my first play-through without changing any choices I've made as recommended.

The game is great but why do I feel like the story is a bit hollow for me personally? It's like "Ex Machina" with a mix of "I, Robot". Hmm.

I'm not disappointed though, the game's mechanics was great as compared to the previous ones. Each chapter had its own share of highlights and hard choices (the time limit made me feel a lot of pressure). Amazing how the game made me feel empathy. Even after that Post-Credit Scene! I didn't let Chloe go for the reason that my main menu would look boring and I'd miss her beautiful face. Lol. But seeing her expression after that made me feel so bad... Why you do that David Cage. Smh.

I'd have to replay this a few more times to determine if there's a better ending than what I had, or even finish it 100% just to fully experience the game's worth. But I'm quite satisfied already since I was able to save all three of them. Oh yeah. I wonder what David Cage thinks like the best ending for this game tho. Very curious to know that due to the very large branching in-game as displayed on the flow-charts.

The PS4’s latest blockbuster moviegame Detroit: Become Human is like something my Alexa would come up with, were I to ask her to write a story about androids with feelings.

As harsh as that might seem, I love the image conjured. The source review is here

The second paragraph of the review is also enjoyable:

As I imagine it, the vaguely sinister, sporadically helpful digital assistant that currently resides on my desk would quickly synthesize a bunch of pop sci-fi touchstones—a dash of Battlestar Galactica, a pinch of Westworld, a touch of A.I. Artificial Intelligence—and mush them together into a robo-generated trope casserole much like the one currently cooling on my PS4’s hard drive. Her script would have all the hits: The scene where the robot risks its life to save a human, the scene where the guy who hates robots finally comes around, and at least two scenes where a robot looks at itself in the mirror and ponders its identity. All the hits and nary a fresh idea among them.
