The Good
- Fantastic presentation with expressive characters and rich, vibrant environments
- solid vocal performances from most of the talented cast
- great sound design and a thrilling cinematic score.
The Bad
- Script is a little too cheesy and heavy-handed for its own good
- Jesse Williams fails to impress as one of the game’s most important characters
- some Quick Time Events are a bit too complicated.
Our Verdict
Good
A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish or ambition to recommend without caution.
Detroit: Become Human looks and sounds great, and includes key player choices throughout, though it could have benefited greatly from a tighter script. While it’s commendable that Quantic Dream tried to cover hot-button issues in a big-budget video game, it works better when focused on the personal character moments than the bigger themes that don’t dig deep enough to make a meaningful impact.
