[h3] Detroit: Become Human – The Unbearable Burden of Choice [/h3] [b] Playtime: 44 hours [/b] [i]Detroit: Become Human[/i] is often pitched as a story of android liberation, but what makes it truly special is how it turns you into the experiment. It's not really about machines discovering humanity – it's about how much of your own humanity you're willing to project onto them. From the first scene with Connor, the game establishes a beautiful paradox: you control a ruthlessly logical android, yet the world constantly tempts you to act irrationally. The moment with the dying fish is a perfect test – do you ignore it because it's irrelevant, or save it out of compassion? That tiny choice says more about you than it ever could about Connor. And this is where [i]Detroit[/i] truly shines. "Deviation" isn't a bug in the androids' code – it's a reflection of the player's moral interference. Through the "awakening" of Connor, Kara, and Markus, the game becomes a mirror for our struggle to define ourselves, our capacity to love and protect, and our longing for freedom. Every decision is less about complex plot branches and more about what kind of person you believe yourself to be. Few games dare to make you this uncomfortable with your own choices. By the time the credits roll, you're not asking whether androids can feel. You're asking why you do. [b]P.S.[/b] If you're not an achievement hunter, I'd recommend playing [i]Detroit[/i] only once. Whether you get a good ending or a bad one, live with your choices and let the story unfold according to your own instincts. You only get one first playthrough – make it yours.
One of the best game i ever played in my gamer career alongside with A Plague Tale: Innocence.
I finally finished one of the storylines after around 13 hours, and honestly, I really enjoyed the experience. I stopped playing after finishing my first run, but I definitely plan on coming back. There are so many different choices, paths, endings, and outcomes that I want to see what could have happened if I had made different decisions. 13 hours for my first playthrough was already a great experience, but I can see myself putting many more hours into this game just to explore the other storylines and endings. Definitely worth playing if you enjoy story-driven games where your choices actually matter.
