Detroit Become Human

I first saw the trailer for E3 back in 2017, and it immediately caught my interest. I had played Fahrenheit by the same developer before, and I liked Fahrenheit, mainly because of its detective elements, like gathering clues that would affect the gameplay for another character, where you play as the criminal and hide those clues. What I disliked most about Fahrenheit was the lack of real consequences for your choices, except for very minor things, and also that the plot, from a certain point, turned into utter nonsense. So, when I saw the trailer, I thought it would be nice to play some cool detective elements again, and I hoped that this time the plot wouldn't be utter nonsense, but I didn't believe in non-linearity for a second. I skipped Heavy Rain because of its long-term exclusivity, so I can't judge how well it served as a link between Fahrenheit and Detroit. Even after it was ported to PC and the game was cracked, I wasn't in a hurry, because my expectations were quite moderate. I played it, and in the end, I liked it, and my minimal expectations were more than exceeded. The detective elements are, of course, a little too easy because all interactive objects are highlighted, but overall, it's a very convenient thing, and when playing as other characters, I definitely wouldn't refuse it. Plot-wise, it's quite solid and doesn't falter much, and at the moment of the shooting of the peaceful android march, I was even touched; it's very emotionally done – the music, the staging. They even added non-linearity – which definitely exceeded my expectations. The overall Gameplay is maximized, the developers have made games in the "interactive movie" genre and honed their skills, bringing the pleasantness of the process in this genre, if not to perfection, then to a very high level. A completely unexpected bonus is the interaction with the main menu; some time ago, I watched a review by Seth about another game, where he said that they don't make such interactive menus anymore; here, of course, it's a little different, but still unexpected and cool.
In general, I liked it very much, and I even feel a little silly because I had a certain negative bias towards this title for a long time.
