Detroit: Become Human

Even after all these years the game still has a lot of bugs, some of which ruin some paths, and it crashes to desktop every few hours. Typical PC port which is just a cash grab. Sad to see from such a great game. :/

I played the game for 14 hours and got the 12 / 48 achievements.

Thanks for your effort, it was great.

I recommend everyone to get this game. You should definitely play it.

Rating: 10 / 10

Don't look up anything about this game before playing it. Just let yourself be surprised. I think everyone needs to play this game, it's flawless and so incredibly detailed. 10000000/10.

Incredible story, meaningful choices, and immersive. Would definitely recommend buying this game!

Really enjoyed all the characters in this game, even with some of the cliches. The level of detail is astounding. A great ride. Kara, Chloe and Connor were my favorites.

fantastic gaming experience almost felt like you play a movie 10/10 from every aspect

The process of saving Alice from her depressed (or schizophrenic) father, who was the victim of domestic violence, gave me a thrilling, exciting feeling in the real world, my heart rate remained high, and my adrenaline was soaring. To have such a real experience is a very, very good game that can bring the player into the story.

Probably one of the best games I have played in a long time. Apart from the incredible graphics, realistic characters, and extras the game has to offer, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The choices you make affect your experience and decide the fate of the characters. I've played it over several times and I'm sure there are parts of the story I have not experienced. This game is incredibly made, respect to those involved in making it. I wish I discovered it sooner.

Spoiler-Free!

Detroit Become Human is one of the best narrative action-adventure games, with its mesmerizing visuals and amazing story! The Gameplay is mixed with walking, interacting, chase sequences, Quick time events, and investigating your environment. By taking my time to enjoy the game, I was able to finish a relaxing 18 hours for one walkthrough.

Story is compelling and keeps you hooked on what happens next. Although I found a slow start at the beginning of the story, it quickly became exciting and intense as you move forward with each character's stories. The choices matter but unlike other narrative story games, the consequences of your actions does affect character development.

The visuals are stunning in this game! It does have a shader compilation process at first launch of the game, which takes about 30 minutes or more, depending on your computer, after it you are okay to play the game smoothly anytime.

I seriously recommend this game to anybody who wants to relax and enjoy a story game to break free from their stressful lives. After finishing it, I assure you it will be one of those games you wish you could experience for the first time again.

Just finished 100% achievements for the second time (first time on PS4). Review will be more of a comparison between PS4 and PC versions.

Pros:
✅60 fps available but need to increase mouse sensitivity.
✅Keyboard/mouse inputs work for me. Didn't have issues.
✅Excellent music. Goes well with gameplay.
✅Graphics also hold well. My computer setup could maintain 60 fps with everything on Ultra/High. 5800X3D and 6700 XT.

Con(nors, *snicker*):
❌QTEs can be a bit quick and easy to miss certain commands, especially when screen shakes so much or when you have to mash a key and then quickly press a different key. QTE buttons used are quite varied compared to PS4 version: Q, W, E, A, S, D, spacebar, left-click drag left/right/up/down, left-and-right-click drag left/right/up/down.
❌Lots of inputs to progress the game. Can get tedious when cleaning up achievements.
❌Getting the achievement Escape Death is tedious, even with a good story setup. It took me 80 minutes to get this because you have to play from a few chapters before the end until game completion for this to trigger.

Overall, enjoyed playing the game again after many years of getting platinum trophy.

One of the best game I played lately. Runs very well on the Steam Deck.

Alright listen, this game isn't that bad, despite my negative review I quite liked it, on the first play-through that is, upon closer inspection of the story it is very clear that the story writer wanted to give the players as many choices as possible so that they can "Do whatever they want in this world" even though a lot of the other negative reviews here are people saying how limited their choices were, I think this would do better overall if they didn't feel forced to accommodate for so many alternatives.

Another thing, the characters except for Connor and Hank feel incredibly shallow, albeit those two are very well written and deep, multi-faceted characters the rest of the cast just feel like they're playing second fiddle to that story. the 2nd of the controllable characters Kara has the entire deeper purpose to their story basically nullified from a plot twist that's just there for shock factor (When you get to that point you'll know what I mean), some spoilers ahead: Rather than provide a look into the human and android dynamic that those two shared throughout the entirety of their story it's all thrown out the window under the pretense "Kara knew all along" and then you continue on like nothing happened??? . The 3rd playable character, Markus is literally just a plot device, it's just the, do you want android to be mad or sad? His character doesn't even make sense honestly, he talks about how he's a slave and that androids need to be free and whatever, but he had one of the kindest and most nuturing android owners, it's like a white girl going out and talking about how hard it is having to be a black man in modern society, he knows jack shit about being a slave, at worst he was a butler, his master treated him better than his own son for crying out loud .

This game is fun, but it isn't good, you can play it if you want of course, I can't stop you, but for a story game it cares a lot more about the word count than a coherent story.

The developers should add feature to watch your played game as one big movie. The graphics and story are just art

One of the best story modes I ever played in my entire life. The choices always have consequences. The soundtrack,,, worth every second on it.

Awesome game! Story etc is just perfect but for some reason it keeps crashing and i alr tried everything + i constantly get graphic bugs like half the screen gets turned up side down or everything is just different shades of green so despite the awesoem story its a little anoying to have to restart the game every 20 minutes.

Super high quality, rich story, immersive gameplay, literally perfect

I've played through this game taking different approaches, it is truly a marvel at what Quantic Dream accomplished here.

The story is intriguing, it captivates you to want to know more, every choices matters here.

The visual, the animations, the star cast voice acting, the game play and how it all intertwines is astounding.

I would highly recommend this game with diamond level of approval.
(The caveat to this is that it may not be everyone's type of game play style, there is a minor level of exploration depending on area, it is mostly QTE, but then again this game you are playing because of the rich story and making your ending from choices)

I can't wait to see what they do with Star Wars Eclipse, especially if they include this sort of level of choices to the story.

This is one of the most unique and compelling games I have ever played. It is a semi-open world choice-based story game where your choices can have a genuine impact on the narrative. The way the game is designed is very innovative and the branches that are created from the choices you make means the game has a lot of replay value. This is probably not a game I would have ordinarily purchased but I was enticed by the demo and I have thoroughly enjoyed the full version of the game.

One of my all-time favorite games. I first completed it back in 2019, and it left a lasting impression on me. Recently, I revisited the game, and this time I decided to explore it more thoroughly by aiming for different endings. The complexity of the narrative, combined with the emotional depth of the characters, makes each playthrough feel fresh and impactful. Every choice carries weight, and it’s fascinating to see how different decisions lead to completely varied outcomes. The game’s visuals and world-building are stunning, and the themes it explores, such as artificial intelligence, freedom, and human rights, are thought-provoking. It's a game that not only entertains but also makes you reflect on the future and society. Playing through it again reminded me of why I loved it so much the first time – and discovering new paths in the story was an incredible experience.
Hank and Connor are absolute perfection! Their relationship is one of the brightest highlights of Detroit. From their tense and complicated start to a strong friendship, watching their bond develop keeps you on the edge of your seat. This journey from mistrust and frustration to genuine support and understanding is truly heartwarming. Hank, with his cynical outlook and sarcasm, and Connor, who learns to become "more than just a machine"—their interactions are full of humor, drama, and heartfelt moments. It's easy to get attached to them and empathize with their struggles, and their scenes leave a lasting impression. One love, no doubt!

Connor/Hank storyline is the best bromance in any game / any movie I've ever played / seen. This is not a game, it's an experience.

This is less of a game and more of an interactive movie. That is fine if that is what you like... But I was expecting more of a game.. something you have more control over exploring and engaging with the story. Instead I got very limited control and very scripted interface with the "game" in between the movie scenes.

Just not my cup of tea.

thank fuck for a guide on how to fix shader issue in the guides section, kept opening game and crashing in shader compilation and couldn't play, had to turn off cores on my i9.
(CREDIT to roxton https://steamcommunity.com/id/roxtonlink for the fix)

if a game doesn't just open and play with out having to do a massive stuff around to fix it myself it get a negative review!!!

the game itself is an amazing story with boring game mechanics but definitely is worth a few playthrough;s, it's more like a choose your own adventure FMV game

this game explores humanity through three androids, and your choices really matter. The visuals are amazing, and the story is thought-provoking. 10/10 highly recommended.

Can't believe I didn't play it until now. Honestly one of the best games I have ever played, the story is absolutely amazing and is filled with great characters. The graphics are just gorgeous and extremely realistic. Every choice matters and leads to a different outcome! 9.5/10

This has to be the best Story-Game I have ever played. I am just thankful for being able to experience this game. I have just finished my first playthrough and this game has me in shock. It's one of those games where when you finish it you kind of regret it being over so soon. Lucky for me the story is so complex and intertwined that I'll get to play many more different approaches. If you think about getting this game I can tell you that there is no chance you will regret it. Unless you do not care for story at all and just want some action gameplay.
And let me give you one tip, I think is pretty important to the experience: On your first playthrough try to meta-game as little as possible; what I mean is that you should try not to look at what could be or could have been in the flow charts. Stay in the moment and dont look back or check the flowchart for what you can do differently, that prevents you from immersing fully, which this game just does so great. And of course do not go back on your decisions on your first playthrough. Stick with what you have gotten yourself into and make the best of it. That will make the experience so much more impactful. I have checked the flowcharts a bit too often i think and I can tell you that worrying about what you can discover toward just completing the game will prevent you from enjoying the immaculate story the game presents you.
All in all I am just thankful for being able to experience "Detroit: Become Human". This really was a work of art!

This game is quite a masterpiece of storytelling. To be clear, I don't believe that machines can ever become persons, so I'm probably not the main target audience of this game. Nor do I usually like stories about the rise of the machines. Nevertheless, this story is so well done that I really enjoyed it. There's a variety of paths and interesting dialogue. The characters are well-designed and relatable. And the graphics are GORGEOUS even four years after its release. I highly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys sci-fi and deep stories.

Note that the point of this game is to explore the "humanity" of androids, so for the most part it's not about android having exceptional capabilities but about how much they are like us. So this story is not like Deus Ex, for example.

Detroit: Become Human is more than just a game it's an emotional, philosophical journey that invites players to reflect on what it truly means to be alive. From the moment I downloaded it, I knew I was in for something special, but I wasn’t prepared for just how invested I would become in the lives of its characters. By the end of the game, I found myself grappling with tough moral choices, questioning my own values, and becoming genuinely attached to the androids I once thought of as merely “programmed.” The narrative follows three main androids: Kara, Markus, and Connor, each on a different path of discovery. They’re not just fighting for freedom; they’re trying to understand what it means to be human in a world where they’re treated as machines. The game challenges us to rethink our perception of humanity by putting us in the shoes of these androids as they struggle to break free from their constraints. The player becomes more than just an observer we’re forced to make decisions that can have life or death consequences. One of the most touching moments in the game for me was Markus’s final stand, where he had the option to use peaceful protest to try and unite androids and humans. I chose for him to sing in front of the humans and military forces a haunting and beautiful scene where Markus leads his people in song, echoing their desire for peace and equality. It’s a scene that is both hopeful and heartbreaking, filled with tension as you wonder whether the humans will open fire or listen. In my playthrough, this act of vulnerability and strength paved the way for a peaceful resolution, bringing Markus’s arc full circle. It was an emotional victory after so much conflict, and I found myself really rooting for him and his people. Connor’s journey, on the other hand, was one of internal conflict. As a machine designed to hunt down deviant androids, his role is to maintain order. But as the game progresses, his interactions with Hank and the evolving events make him question his loyalty to his creators. Watching Connor wrestle with his own identity and purpose was one of the game’s highlights. There were moments where I truly didn’t know what direction he would take, and I found myself agonizing over whether he should stay loyal to his programming or embrace his growing sense of autonomy. Thankfully, Connor survived in my playthrough, becoming more than just a tool for others he became his own person. Unfortunately, not all stories have happy endings. Kara’s storyline was perhaps the most heartbreaking of all. Her goal was simple: protect Alice, the young girl she came to love as her own. Yet, despite my best efforts to keep them safe, I made a series of decisions that led to her tragic death near the game’s end. The decision making process was agonizing. At several key points, I had to choose between Kara’s safety and that of Alice, and while I believed I was doing the right thing, it ultimately led to their downfall. I was devastated. After investing so much into Kara’s journey and her quest for freedom, her death felt like a gut punch, a stark reminder that in Detroit: Become Human, not all stories get a happy ending.

What makes Detroit: Become Human so special isn’t just the story, but how it forces players to face difficult moral choices. These decisions aren’t black and white. They’re shades of gray, often with no “right” answer, and the consequences ripple across the entire narrative. There were moments where I sat there, unable to decide, knowing that any choice I made would have profound impacts on the characters I had come to care about. It’s rare for a game to make you feel so deeply connected to the narrative, and Detroit: Become Human accomplishes this brilliantly. Visually, the game is stunning. Quantic Dream has a talent for creating lifelike environments, from the gleaming high-tech buildings of CyberLife to the dingy, rundown streets that Kara and Alice travel through. Each setting reflects the game’s overarching themes of oppression, hope, and rebellion. The music, too, is exceptional, with each character having their own distinct theme that adds emotional weight to their scenes. In the end, I believe I achieved a “good” ending. Markus led a peaceful revolution, singing his way to freedom, and Connor found his humanity. But Kara’s death will always weigh heavily on me. Detroit: Become Human is not just a game you play it’s an experience that stays with you, long after the credits roll. If you’re looking for a narrative driven game that challenges your emotions, forces you to think about the nature of humanity, and immerses you in an incredibly detailed world, Detroit: Become Human is a must play. Just be prepared for some tough decisions along the way.

Conclusion 9/10
The game excels in its narrative, character development, and emotional depth. The choices you make feel meaningful, and the way the story branches based on your decisions adds significant replay value. It’s rare to find a game where each playthrough can be so dramatically different, depending on your actions. The themes it tackles freedom, identity, oppression are handled thoughtfully, making it more than just a sci-fi game but a reflection on real-world issues. The reason I wouldn’t give it a perfect score is that, at times, the controls and quick time events can feel a bit clunky or repetitive. While the story is the star of the show, some players might find the gameplay itself a little simplistic, especially those expecting more action oriented mechanics. However, for fans of narrative driven experiences, that won’t detract too much from the overall enjoyment.

Detroit: Become Human is an unforgettable journey, and if you’re a fan of story rich, choice based games, it’s absolutely worth playing.

Detroit: Become Human was a captivating blend of ethics, philosophy, and rebellion that had me grappling with the uncertainty inherent in each choice; all set against a hauntingly authentic depiction of humanity's response to the rise of androids—marked by fear, hostility, and age-old anthropocentrism.

It was a game that effectively exposed the themes of dehumanization and selfishness that are replete throughout this marred generation; showcasing how the human instinct for self-preservation completely undermines the value of other sentient beings. It's this ability to evoke emotive thought that sparks a pertinent internal conversation, which earns my recommendation and assures me I'll be coming back for another playthrough in the future.

I played this game back when it first game out on my new PS4 that I had gotten just to play the game after seeing Jacksepticeye play through it. I loved it so much. Over the years, I have played it multiple times and grew attached to this game. Although, the fandom has gone down a lot since then. I am still a massive fan of this game to this day.

When I saw it was on sale again on steam after I got my new PC, I just had to get it and I caved. I have really enjoyed playing this game again. It is reminding me why I loved this game!! I adore the story-line, even though there are a few things I would change but that is my personal view of the plot. The music is outstanding and the characters are addicting to learn more about.

If you love dystopian games and choices that actually affect the plot, this is the game for you!

It is a decent game with an interesting summary of every chapter you pass. You probably will want to pass it several times just to see different outcomes. Don't think too much if you see that one on sale. Take it if you enjoy chilled but thrilled movie type games. Decision you make and way you play have an impact and it's not always obvious.

When it comes to fucking up the choice matter games , I'm LeBron James of it , one of the best choice matter games so far

If you are thinking about buying this game, think no longer and purchase it. This game is incredible, the graphics are still amazing despite being 6 years old and the experience of the storyline changing depending on your decisions is incredible. I recommend playing this game through at least once before you die. It is definitely worth full price but it is an absolute bargain if you can get it on sale.

A surprisingly fantastic game that I didn't expect to be so good. The graphics are really tight and the game play flows nicely. It's an open world-ish adventure with a choice matters to drive it along. The characters are done brilliantly with some top talent in the line-up. The emotions they bring to the game are top notch and that's what really pulled me in. Although i haven't finished it yet, which I will, I know I will play it again..and again...and again..etc.

Very good story game, got for 7$ definitely worth that. Not sure if its worth 40$ for the 15 ish hours of gameplay it offers though.

I am torn about this game and I feel a bit guilty for leaving it with a thumbs down. But I will explain why, first in bullet points, then I will elaborate.
(Also, the game is good enough to buy when it is discounted. I do not hate the game)

Positives:
- A mostly solid story
- Great acting
- Looks great
- Solid worl-building
- Amazing themes/concept
- Great idea to revolve around three different perspectives that overlap and perhaps contradict one another

Negatives:
- The quality of the story starts deteriorating in the second half of the game
- Dialogue/cut scenes is unskippable – harms replay value
- No matter what you do, the gameplay is bad. The game is 50% QTE
- Lack of transparency in decisions


So the positives…
I was almost 100% on board and fully immersed for the first 4-8 hours of the game. The characters were deep (especially if you choose to make them so), the acting is solid and the universe is brilliant. A lot is left unsaid and for you to discover by examining the environment. Or reading in-game articles. I love that.
This game dabbles with some themes that will (perhaps) make you question your own views on many subjects such as “what is life?”, “what is AI?”, etc. That is great
So much about the game’s universe and story is great and it even made me fall in love with some of the characters, while being slightly less interested in others – which is only natural. No critique here.

Although the segment about the positive aspects is short, it is sincere. There is a lot to applaud this game for.

So the negatives…
The biggest issue is how the story takes a big dip in the second half of the game. It become a game that feels like everything is happening over multiple weeks, but an hour or less often pass between events. Something that makes sense for one/some of the stories you follow, but feel incredibly silly for another/several other stories you follow. It really removed my immersion when the game suddenly felt so forced with its story. That things were planned and executed in minutes even though it should either not be possible or, well, show us how it is possible. It also becomes insanely convenient towards the end, giving you a scene with a cop that is so profoundly stupid that it again broke immersion, while other character decisions (and reoccurring characters) at the end made the game feel ludicrous in a way. There are also many things that are not explained, but should be, as they come completely out of left field and make you ask “why did nothing like this happen before then?” There is also a fundamental flaw to the story, at least the one I ended up playing, where the in-game universe seems tiny, when it should be huge. That everything happens locally, but apparently has, I suspect, global consequences in a way that is really not explained well in the game other than a throwaway line or two. And there is a twist in the game that was so forced and utterly annoying that it made me completely lose my immersion and that is honestly when I decided that I would give it a thumbs down. It may be silly, but it is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Without spoiling it, I can see why they decided to have it that way, and how there were hints, but it does become very stupid and silly in many ways in hindsight when other events really don’t make sense when considered from the point of the plot-twist (though some things could still be reasonably explained. It is just what broke me, as it was one of the more interesting dynamics of the game that was then turned on its head in a way that rubbed me the wrong way)
But the twist alone would of course not be enough to ruin my time with the game.

Here are the other reasons why it does not work for me.
The game has so many choices and potential outcomes of events. That is great. Amazing. I definitely did not get the best ending, probably one of the worse ones, and it did encourage me to try and replay it.
But here is the caveat: dialogue and cut scenes are not skippable.
The content I need to playthrough to get a different experience would therefore involve sitting through 70%+ of the same dialogue and action screens I have already seen, knowing what to expect, and then maybe 10% different choices and discoveries in things I had already seen the outcome of and maybe 20% new gameplay and content.
That is really discouraging. I may want to return some day, but this decision does ruin my desire to play through it again to try other things out.
I understand how it could be difficult o implement a system that skips cutscenes and dialogue, because you may suddenly have to react to a QTE, but maybe add something in the game so players can enable cinematic mode or something so that when the QTEs arrive (not fun things to begin with) they get auto resolved. And maybe enable this for the second playthrough only. Not to punish people who want to enjoy your game even more. That is the other cardinal sin the game makes.

And it is not just for replaying the game. You can end up failing miserably and having people killed almost out of nowhere. This problem gets exacerbated by how the dialogue options can be very vague and misleading, so at one point where I got the chance to “interfere” my character just started giving an order instead of, you know, interfering in a much better way to avoid dying….
If you are not happy with a character death, you may want to replay to try and save them, but that will again have you sometimes retread many minutes of content and sit through much dialogue that you do not want to sit through again.
I died twice in the beginning (once because the game was not very forward with what would happen, the other because of a poorly phrased choice – later deaths were my own fault), so I did not want to lose out on most of the game, which did mean I had to go through many of these scenes again. It was really annoying and the thought of doing that for the whole game put me off.

Finally, and that does come into play for how well you will do in the game, the controls are terrible at least with a keyboard. I presume it is better to play with a controller, so probably do that if you have one


Final verdict:
There is a lot I liked about the game, but it fell so flat in the ending once the story, in my mind, had turned sour and sabotaged my immersion. And then with the replayability issues on top, I did not feel like I could give it a thumbs up.
It is not a bad game at all, but if you want to play it, get it on discount. A good discount.

There are certain books, TV shows, movies, and games that, after you finish them, leave you with this feeling of what do I do now. You wonder why you didn’t savor them more, why you didn’t read, watch, or play them slower so you could be immersed in their world just a little bit longer. This is one of those games. It’s life-changingly good, worth every single second you spend on it. I only wish I could play it for the first time all over again.

The best game I've ever played. I wanted to buy it as early as 2020, but it turned out that I bought it at the end of 2024.
The game fascinates with its graphics, beautiful plots and subplots that are so realistic.
I like that they have picked up so that you can play this game even with a weak device, without any lags.
The only thing I didn't like was that the plot remains bad, for example, when searching for a deviant at the very beginnin. I wanted to replay several endings, but later I rewrote it again so that everythin would be successful. But unfortunately, despite the fact that I have it in the plot tree that I found it, it was counted in the story that I did not pass through it.
11/10, I keep goin through the story.

I have never come across a game that gave me such a wide range of emotions. It’s undoubtedly one of the best games I’ve ever played, and it’s something everyone absolutely must try. The range of feelings this game evokes is just incredible. The soundtrack enhances the experience even more, drawing you deeper into the story. The emotions you feel as you live through each character’s life are beyond words. When you realize that a character’s fate is in your hands, it’s no longer just a game—you start to carefully consider every action and every word.

Although the gameplay isn’t particularly long, the fact that there are so many branching paths and multiple endings gives you the opportunity to replay the game over and over, discovering something new each time and seeing the characters from different angles.

This is a true masterpiece. I’ve played it more than once, and I’m definitely not stopping anytime soon.

First story game that I have ever played and I loved every second of it. All the characters were great and the fight scenes were so thrilling. I wish I could erase my memories of all of this just to experience it for the first time again. 10/10 game for me. I'm glad I went through this game blind. Connor is and will always be my favorite <3.

not much actual game play honestly. other than making choices all you're doing is opening doors and looking around for things but the game won't let you access most areas so even the looking around it to a minimum. Still really happy with the story though.

Without question in the top 2 best games I've ever played (EVER) with Cyberpunk 2077 being my #1 but... you really cannot compare this game to Cyberpunk 2077, or any other game that I know of for that matter. This game follows more of the sort of Tell Tale Games path, but the game mechanics and graphics are far better and technologically advanced. I won't say much as to WHY it's in probably one of, if not the, best games I've ever played as not to spoil the story, however the story writing, the pacing, the character development, the choice diversity it's all there. This game will make you laugh, get mad, be happy, cry (yes I cry'd literal buckets) and more. This is not just a game, its an EXPERIENCE and just beautifully written so do yourself a favor and just buy it already. We need MORE games like this!

My favorite and best game, and I was happy when I bought it.. Tears, fear, joy - I experienced the whole range of emotions in this incredible game, which captivated me for 12 hours when I played it without a break.. Honestly, I am incredibly happy to have played it, and I can say that I would advise everyone to play it. I have never spent so much emotion, especially in games.. With tears in my eyes, I watched from Alice’s side as Kara was killed..

The game was great until about halfway through i got some error code, something like "VK Lost" and apparently its a common issue for this game only on the steam version. There's been no official patch even though its been an issue since the release on steam apparently, so i tried using the user suggestions to fix the issue, and nothing worked. I have a 7080x3D CPU and 4070 ti super GPU, and haven't had this issue with any other games before. I've tried getting a refund for the game, but steam declined the request because i'm already 6 hours into the game. The game is great, but i cant justify giving it a thumbs up when i can't finish a game because of an issue that was clearly made apparent by the community but was never fixed. I'm just glad i got the game on sale and only paid $15, still a waste of money though. My review could change if ever find a way to make the game playable again, but it literally crashes after 5 minutes of playing the game every time now, and i always get the same error message.

One of the most satisfying games to play in the midst of the absolute garbage that exist in the the gaming industry today. This game is a gem. Definitely recommend playing.

Choosing experienced mode the first playthrough was worth it. It was not perfect and I regretted not being fast enough. But the game told a story just for myself. A game that lets you be kind to others is a 10/10 for me.
