Just started, this game is almost immediately sucking me in, tense start, totally triggered my completionist personality and missed things anyway. Total good vibes here, let's see what more it brings!

So the people who got this game to this average score... Like, is it because of media illiteracy, because you have never learned about the history of racism in the US, because you haven't heard about Quantic Dream, the horrible people that run it and the awful shit that goes on behind doors, or because you enjoyed how good the …

So the people who got this game to this average score... Like, is it because of media illiteracy, because you have never learned about the history of racism in the US, because you haven't heard about Quantic Dream, the horrible people that run it and the awful shit that goes on behind doors, or because you enjoyed how good the graphics look and that was enough? I can follow that last one but if that's not it you have a lot of catching up in regards to storytelling, subtlety and just, idk, general human issues.

I expected some heavy-handed commentary from this game, but the androids literally ride in the back of the bus. Just...come on, man. I'm only like 30 minutes in, so maybe it'll become a little less blunt at some point. The discussion of how synthetic humans would/should be treated is a fascinating one, and I hope I get a little more …

Just finished watching a longplay of this and don't feel like writing a full review. Same as with Heavy Rain and Beyond writing's just bad, but that alone is not enough for me to say it's a bad game, in many aspects it's so much better than the previous two Quantic Dream games that i actually managed to enjoy it. …

Same as with Heavy Rain and Beyond writing's just bad, but that alone is not enough for me to say it's a bad game, in many aspects it's so much better than the previous two Quantic Dream games that i actually managed to enjoy it. Nevertheless i'm glad i decided to just watch it piece by piece on youtube whenever i had to burn some time or wash the dishes instead of buying it.

I think the story really reflects some of the conflicts we see today in our society. Bringing these conflicts into games, and letting the AI race represent them, is sooooooo cool. I love the concept, and I love the story. Graphics amazed me. The interactive menu was hella cool. I wish I had enough patience to unlock every single branch. …

I loved this game and got emotionally attached to the three main characters, especially Kara. I realize you have less control over the story than it appears, but I was happy with my ending after only repeating a couple of sections. I also have a huge crush on Minka Kelly, so I was glad when she showed up.

Connor is my number 1, he was played by Bryan Dechart. His wife Amelia Rose Blaire played the blue haired Traci. They are both very lovely and have a streaming channel. Check it out: https://www.twitch.tv/dechartgames

It looks beautiful, movie-like.

The story-tree makes you believe that it has more to deliver than a Telltale Story, which makes the player invested in the choices he has to make.

The story-tree makes you believe that it has more to deliver than a Telltale Story, which makes the player invested in the choices he has to make. When I understood where the story was going, I felt I wasn't making choices for the character, but I was rather committing my choices to make the good or bad ending happen. It didn't feel personal to the character I was playing.

The main characters all go through so many moments where their lives are at risk (not just Markus #plotarmor), that it sometimes feels a bit cheap... I don't like QTE. It wasn't challenging, but it makes me feel like I'm walking on eggshells: will there be another QTE soon? Or can I relax and think about the story?

It should have been a movie or an interactive movie.

Connor's actor is amazing.

Gramps had some good lines.

Details that made me less immersed into the world:

The walking animation when changing direction is too stiff. There is no collision with walls or decor (there is a wide invisible wall around everything), you can't interact with any or the beautifully rendered items in the world (yeah, except TVs and newspaper). You can't bump with NPCs while walking, they'll just stop and you can't walk into them. You can't talk to them, even if they are idle.

it's amazing how many times you're on the floor and then have to stand up in this game. 10/10 standing up mechanics.
