They try to track down deviants, androids that have broken their programming, abandoned their owners or turned to crime, while pondering their feelings towards the nature of their job. Depending on the player\u2019s choices Connor can either remain analytical or begin to feel empathy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6376\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6376\" style=\"width: 767px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tuni.fi\/playlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DetroitBecomeHuman3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tuni.fi\/playlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DetroitBecomeHuman3.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.tuni.fi\/playlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DetroitBecomeHuman3-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6376\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Markus on the right with his owner Carl on the left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As you continue playing the game, you\u2019re introduced to Markus, a caretaker android owned by the paraplegic painter Carl Manfred. After tragic events Markus finds himself a deviant and facing a difficult decision: will he walk down the pacifist route, or will he use violence to get what he wants? Out of the three playable characters, the choices he must face might have the largest impact on how the story could end.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6377\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6377\" style=\"width: 767px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tuni.fi\/playlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DetroitBecomeHuman4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tuni.fi\/playlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DetroitBecomeHuman4.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.tuni.fi\/playlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DetroitBecomeHuman4-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kara on the right, with Alice, the girl she tries to protect, on the left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We\u2019re also introduced to Kara, a newly-manufactured android, who has sworn to protect the daughter of the family who bought her, Alice. After she breaks free from her programming, she must face many difficult situations to try to keep her safe. While Connor\u2019s path felt the most heartwarming one out of the three, Kara\u2019s was, given the right circumstances, able to make me cry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the game looks and sounds great, providing movie-like experiences with the cutscenes between the chapters of the game, and making the player really feel for the characters, the gameplay itself can be problematic. The camera doesn\u2019t always turn as you\u2019d like it to turn, and the controls needed especially for the occasional quick-time events can require such high levels of dexterity that by the time you manage to complete that part the story has already progressed in an unexpected way. The game, however, allows you to replay parts of the game, so you can go back and try again, either by making the same choices you previously made or by trying a different route with different choices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The game was definitely worth my time, as I began to get really attached to the characters. I\u2019d recommend the game to anyone who\u2019s interested in games from this genre, but I\u2019d also recommend others to give it a try for its immersive storyline and audiovisual experiences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Game info<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Publishers: <\/strong>Sony Interactive Entertainment, Quantic Dream (PC)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Developer: <\/strong>Quantic Dream<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director: <\/strong>David Cage<\/p>\n<p><strong>Platforms: <\/strong>PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release date: <\/strong>25 May 2018 (PlayStation 4), 12 December 2019 (Microsoft Windows)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Genre: <\/strong>Adventure<\/p>\n<p><strong>PEGI: <\/strong>18+<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Screenshots from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/en-us\/games\/detroit-become-human-ps4\/\">https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/en-us\/games\/detroit-become-human-ps4\/<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/fi-fi\/games\/detroit-ps4\/\">https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/fi-fi\/games\/detroit-ps4\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What makes us human?
