What the community wishes

Improve audio volume control
Some users report issues with controlling audio volume, requiring restarts to fix. Enhancing audio settings would improve user experience.
AMD graphics card compatibility issues
The game crashes for users with AMD graphics cards unless they roll back to 2022 drivers. This is a significant barrier for AMD users and needs immediate attention for better compatibility.
Frequent crashes and performance issues
Several users report frequent crashes and performance issues, which disrupt the gameplay experience. Optimizing the game for better stability is crucial.
Unresponsive controls
Some players find the controls unresponsive, leading to frustration during gameplay. Improving control responsiveness would enhance the overall experience.
Steam Deck optimization needed
While the game runs well on Steam Deck, occasional freezes and framerate drops during cutscenes need to be addressed for smoother performance.
Graphics card recognition issues
The game fails to recognize Nvidia RTX 3080Ti unless integrated graphics are disabled. This is a significant inconvenience and needs fixing.
System crashes on startup
Some users experience system crashes and boot failures when trying to start the game. This is a critical issue that needs urgent attention.
Camera movement causes headaches
The camera movement in the game can cause headaches for some players. Adjusting camera mechanics could improve comfort.
Sociopolitical commentary too on-the-nose
Some players feel the sociopolitical commentary is too obvious and lacks subtlety. Refining the narrative to be more nuanced could improve immersion.
Price too high for some
While many find the game worth the price, some suggest it should be cheaper or wait for a sale. Adjusting pricing or offering discounts could attract more players.
Minor bugs need fixing
Some users report minor bugs that, while not game-breaking, can be annoying. Addressing these would improve the overall polish of the game.
Improve replayability incentives
While the game has high replayability, some players suggest adding more incentives or rewards for exploring different endings to encourage multiple playthroughs.
Controller recommended over keyboard
Players recommend using a controller over keyboard and mouse for a better experience. Improving keyboard and mouse controls could make the game more accessible.
Difficulty balancing needed
Some players find the difficulty uneven, with certain sections being too easy or too hard. Balancing difficulty levels would improve gameplay flow.
Add more character customization
Some players express interest in more character customization options, such as modding the menu character. Adding customization features could enhance player engagement.
Improve narrative subtlety
The narrative's parallels to racial segregation feel too obvious to some players. Adding more subtlety and depth to the story could improve its impact.
Optimize for high-end PCs
Despite having high-end hardware, some users experience crashes and performance issues. Optimizing the game for high-end PCs is necessary.
Add more save points
Some players suggest adding more save points to reduce frustration during long play sessions. This would improve the overall user experience.
Improve texture loading
While texture pop-ins are rare, some players notice them during cutscenes. Improving texture loading would enhance visual quality.
Enhance character development
While character development is praised, some players suggest deeper exploration of secondary characters. Expanding character arcs could enrich the narrative.

Positive

Very immersive and tells a compelling story about freedom, love, sacrifice and the beauty/ugly side of the human nature with multiple meaningful choices with real story affecting consequences. Of course it would not be as a compelling of a story as it is if both facial and voice performances were not on par with the story beats and... What can i say really, it's 2024 and i still have not seen facial animations and actors dedicated to bring those characters to life like in this game, The only game that came close to that being Alan wake 2. 9/10 would recommend this piece of art to anyone, be it a gamer or even a movie person.

  • Sentiments

    • I find the game very immersive, with a compelling story that explores themes of freedom, love, sacrifice, and the duality of human nature.
    • I appreciate the meaningful choices in the game that have real consequences on the story, making it feel impactful and engaging.
    • I am impressed by the facial and voice performances, which are perfectly aligned with the story beats and elevate the emotional depth of the game.
    • I believe the facial animations and actor performances are unparalleled, even in 2024, and set a new standard for character portrayal in games.
    • I think the only game that comes close to matching the quality of facial animations and performances is Alan Wake 2, but this game still stands out.
    • I rate the game 9/10 and highly recommend it as a piece of art, suitable for both gamers and movie enthusiasts.

Positive

Amazing game. The game makes you care about the main characters, because you are the one who shapes them and their story. The game offers so many branches and choices to the point you will likely never get the same story without at least a couple deviations (pun intended), even if you try. The story is decently long, even for a single branch, and offers plenty of content and replayability due to the plethora of impactful choices that alter the story in a tangible way. On top of it, the game has the best menu I have ever had the pleasure to interact with, with its own "AI" that interacts with you based on your choices and the way you play the game, has its own story and will likely make you care enough about it as if it was another character in the story itself. Have played it multiple times on a console and now also on Steam. Highly recommended, especially on a sale.

  • Sentiments

    • I feel that the game is amazing because it makes me care deeply about the main characters, as I am the one who shapes them and their story.

    • I feel that the menu's 'AI' has its own story, making me care about it as if it were another character in the game.
    • I have played the game multiple times on a console and now also on Steam, which shows my strong attachment and enjoyment of the game.
    • I highly recommend the game, especially when it is on sale, as it offers exceptional value and enjoyment.

Negative

Don't buy if you have an AMD graphics card. The game breaks halfway through unless you roll the card's driver back to one from 2022. Otherwise, kind of interesting, though the game play is annoying and slows down an already slow-paced game. Got it on sale for 60% off, but would have refunded if I could when the graphics crash fault showed itself.

  • Sentiments

    • I feel frustrated because the game breaks halfway through when using an AMD graphics card unless I roll back the driver to a 2022 version.
    • I find the game somewhat interesting despite its flaws, which adds a positive aspect to my experience.
    • I find the gameplay annoying, which detracts from my overall enjoyment of the game.
    • I feel the game is slow-paced, and the gameplay further slows it down, making it less enjoyable.
    • I am satisfied with purchasing the game at a 60% discount, which makes the experience more acceptable despite the issues.
    • I regret not being able to refund the game when the graphics crash issue became apparent, which adds to my dissatisfaction.

Negative

I would love to be able to play this game. Unfortunately for reasons unknown, it insists on crashing before ever starting up. Not only does this close the game, it also turns off my entire system, and one time even causing a boot failure. I am going to continue attempting to get this to run, but I am not hopeful as to my chances of success. My hardware being an i9 14900k, and a RTX 4080 Super, I should be able to run this with ease, but alas, such does not appear to be the case.

  • Sentiments

    • I would love to be able to play this game, as it seems like something I would enjoy.
    • Unfortunately, the game insists on crashing before it even starts up, which is extremely frustrating.
    • The crashes not only close the game but also turn off my entire system, which is highly inconvenient and disruptive.
    • One time, the crash even caused a boot failure, which was a significant and alarming issue.
    • I am going to continue attempting to get the game to run, but I am not hopeful about my chances of success.
    • My hardware, including an i9 14900k and an RTX 4080 Super, should be more than capable of running this game with ease.
    • Despite my high-end hardware, the game does not appear to run as expected, which is disappointing.

Negative

Running the game off of a laptop, the game refuses to recognize my Nvidia RTX 3080Ti until I disable my integrated graphics card in device manager. It is ridiculous that I cannot launch the game without disabling hardware on my computer that it isn't even supposed to be using.

    • I find it ridiculous that I have to disable hardware on my computer that the game isn't even supposed to be using.
    • I am disappointed that the game does not function properly on my laptop without significant manual intervention.
    • I am annoyed that the game's compatibility issues are causing unnecessary inconvenience.
    • I am dissatisfied with the game's inability to handle hardware configurations seamlessly.

Negative

"Detroit: Become Human" is a Playstation port to PC, 3rd person point-and-click adventure, with exceptionally extremely high-level graphics. Here's the problem. It is a broken port. Spend the game from your first step ZOOMED IN on your character's hip, looking backward, behind him, as he moves in random directions based on mouse? keyboard? dunno. You will be unable to point and/or click at any objects or interactions in any room or corridor. Somehow you might accidentally initiate a scanner sequence where you can analyze a crime scene -- but discover that the clues are not available due to a serious game-breaking bug. So then, just spin your tires in a hopeless circle -- THIS ENTIRE GAME IS BUGGED AND BROKEN. I don't have anything to say about whether it's interesting, good, engaging, the plot, the characters, all I have to say is it does. not. work. broken. Why it's for sale? It's a trap.

  • Sentiments

    • I am extremely disappointed with the broken port of 'Detroit: Become Human' to PC, as it is unplayable due to severe technical issues.
    • The game's graphics are exceptionally high-level, which is a positive aspect, but it is overshadowed by the game-breaking bugs.
    • I find it frustrating that the game starts with the camera zoomed in on the character's hip, making navigation and interaction impossible.
    • I am unable to point or click on any objects or interactions in the game, which makes the gameplay experience completely broken.
    • I encountered a serious game-breaking bug during a crime scene analysis sequence, which prevented me from progressing.
    • The game feels like a trap because it is being sold despite being completely bugged and unplayable.
    • I cannot comment on the plot, characters, or overall engagement of the game because it simply does not work.
    • The game's technical issues are so severe that I cannot even evaluate its potential quality or enjoyability.
    • I feel misled by the sale of a game that is clearly broken and should not have been released in this state.
    • The entire game is bugged and broken, leaving me with no positive experience to take away from it.

Negative

Good adventure game with great visuals, soundtrack and the biggest choice tree with consequences I seen. But I still don't like it. The story contrives and contradicts itself when it's convenient, a lot of choices and their consequences are out of character. Some plot twists by the end make no sense about them if you think for a second The allegories to 20th century slavery in America, as well as the Holocaust, they just... dude. No. This is still my favorite game David Cage has ever made. But I'm not a David Cage fan. I'm still not Plenty of cinematic, memorable moments built on a foundation that loses its impact when you look back on them. If you like this game genre, then, despite my negative review, I'd say I'd still definitely recommend this game to you. But what I'd also recommend is any other adventure, choice-based game that isn't written by David Cage. And also movies like the two Bladerunner movies. Detroit: Become Human's story feels like a diluted, less consistent, more bloated derivative of the beautiful stories of those movies Verdict: Recommend but don't expect much depth or things to think about, if that's what you're looking for in this story
