Finished the game 2 days ago. I have to say, the game was good, but not my favorite Cage game. I loved the flow chart, that is a great addition including the world stats for each choice. The graphics, of course those look awesome. Some of the best I have seen. Though they should be awesome, as linear as the game is, and not many effects. The ability to reconstruct events with Connor was unique. I like how they tied the different story arcs together. The story was good, but seemed a bit pushy and predictable. The political agenda on slavery, androids taking human jobs, peace vs. violence pushed over and over seems a bit much IMO.
I never felt any connection with a character, maybe because you play as multiple characters. Granted, it was hard not to like the Lieutenant and Alice, though you don't play as them. The game play it self, felt rather boring. I almost would have rather have just had the game be a movie, that was interactive that let me choose the direction real time. There just wasn't enough, game wise, to keep me "excited" during the game. The occasional QTE fights are what kept me alert however. I have to say, I liked the way Quantum Break did the story direction choices. And in that scenario, while Detroit graphics are stellar, looking near human like, Quantum Break actually has real humans...the best graphics of all. It was a bigger mix of the interactive story and game play.
The camera was also wonky in this game, and resetting the camera angle with the trigger/bumper was somewhat annoying. There were occasional stutters or freezes, albeit very short. I noticed I had received a patch for the game, but it was too late to see the improvements as I was just about done.
Heavy Rain and Until Dawn also left a long lasting impression on me, where as Detroit is almost forgettable to me now. I do see there is replay value in the game for those that enjoyed it a lot and want to see new outcomes. Sadly not so much for me. I love that they have the gallery, videos, artwork for you to buy with in game points, but that seems a little tacked on. Just make them all available to us at completion of the game, or even from the start.
I still look forward to more David Cage games because nobody is making David Cage games. They are unique and keep single player story driven games alive.
My score is a 7/10.
