A near-future Detroit, androids waking up, and every choice weighing on three destinies.

When the community decides on gut feeling, Detroit sits ahead of a little over half of games, just above the middle. The detail draws a very readable profile. Attachment leads, ahead of nearly eight games in ten, Kara, Connor, Markus that you carry long after the credits. Art direction holds above average. But the rest fades: rediscovery and desert island slip low, ahead of less than a quarter of games, and the soundtrack stays shy. The tension is soft but real: you bond with the characters, you keep them in your heart, without quite dreaming of reliving it all or taking it to an island. Take it with care, several criteria rest on few votes.

Against other interactive narratives, Detroit owns its nature as a film where you're the hero, more emotion and branching than controller thrill.

So, for who? For you if you love stories that cling to your skin and choices that hurt. Much less if you want a game you relaunch twenty times or sharp controller sensations.
