Detroit: Become Human
Best Video Game Stories of 2018 So Far
Quantic Dream is known for its storytelling prowess. The likes of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls have often been referred to as ‘interactive movies’, often in a derogatory sense, but that’s simply to highlight how story is always the focus.
Detroit: Become Human is no different, and it follows three androids who are set on freeing themselves from oppression. Two of them flee their owners, while another is torn between his role as a detective built to serve and his desire to protect his own. The characters, Connor in particular, are fascinating throughout, and their stories are woven together well and you truly begin to care about their fates. Much of that may be down to the fact that your choices truly matter in Detroit, and can have serious consequences on your story. Having that power over a story only makes it more effective.
