20 Best PlayStation Exclusives Of The Decade
9. Detroit: Become Human
David Cage has had a few attempts to nail his particular brand of interactive game/movie experiences. Fahrenheit couldn't stick the landing, Heavy Rain was a vast improvement, before Beyond: Two Souls lowered the tone quicker than Barry White's voice did when he hit puberty.
2018's offering, Detroit: Become Human was, thankfully, a more grounded approach to storytelling. You could cite the works of Isaac Asimov, or the Matrix trilogy, as a basis for the story, but Detroit starts carving its own story when it gets rolling.
Split between three androids, each one with different motives, the plot revolves around the man/machine divide that Deus Ex has also touched upon. But what makes Detroit a stronger narrative is that each android starts to break their programming and develop free will, as you start to shape their respective fates.
It may flirt with the familiar "Can an artificial intelligence be considered alive?" story notes, but as a standalone experience without comparison, it's a brilliant, multifaceted adventure.
Choices do have consequence, encouraging multiple playthroughs and decisions to unlock all the endings.
