It's been awhile since I've played a game that's so fantastic I felt compelled to leave a glowing review, yet here we are. I wanted to wait until I'd at least finished the game, and having just finished it; I can confidently say that this is one of the best story driven games I have ever played. Detroit: Become Human isn't just following a story, it's about becoming those characters and you get to actually decide their outcome. Games in which the developer has taken the time to think of every decision effecting a grand overall outcome really are the best because it feels like the story is catered just for you. The graphics are mind boggling; I may not have the most powerful build on the planet, but playing this game was like playing my way through a movie. The graphics are easily cinema quality and what you should expect from a big game in 2020. The story is incredibly powerful and the fact that I can go back through and play it all again and do things different just makes it better. Connor, Markus, and Kara are all well rounded, dynamic characters. They're capable of making you feel that androids can actually feel. Then, there's the little things. By making you choose to open every door, by having you enter an input rather than watching a cut-scene gives a better feeling of connection to the characters; giving one the impression that they're really playing that person. There's also the android in the title screen who will talk to you, until well- spoilers. This game strips away at your humanity and makes you ask yourself, could this really happen? To me, this is going down in my top 10 favorite games of all time and in a high position.
I think this game is worthy of game of the year.
