The story is uneven and gameplay is marred by tiresome quick time events and awkward controls. But despite its flaws, Detroit: Become Human is the finest game Quantic Dream has ever made.

Its big themes are glibly handled, though this is still Quantic Dream’s most credible and satisfying interactive yarn by far.

Quantic Dream has mastered making a very playable, even enjoyable interactive experience. But there’s always this performative feeling behind it — always this reminder that, for as much as someone wants to help out a cause, there’s a difference between saying it and doing it.

Detroit: Become Human really is like sitting down and playing a TV box set. It’s a technical masterpiece on PS4 with movie quality sound, lighting and camera work, which is backed up by some top quality action and a wonderfully evocative score. Detroit really worked for me; I was gripped by the story and connected with the characters, but I think some players may have a hard time relating to Kara, Markus, and Connor. That’s to be expected. After all, we’re only human.
