Detroit: Become Human is a marvel of interactive storytelling. Your choices really matter, not just to the game, but to you; they feed back to you. The game really makes you reflect on your approach. And it does all that while telling three stories about androids of which at least two are quite moving. The story world is also magnificent and rich and never feels hollow. This game gave me very strong post game blues and that's just the reality of being entranced in this world and story.

This Detroit is a very grounded approach to futurism, it's not far-fetched or fantastical. Sure we won't have androids like this by 2046, but we could surely see this Detroit in the late 21st century and I think it was worth seeing if just to provoke thoughts about the world we're heading towards.

However, I do want to mention some caution. David Cage is a problematic person and I don't think you see much of his ideology in this game, but it is there. So don't believe everything you see.
