20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2018 - Ranked

14. Detroit: Become Human

It will take a miracle for someone with the leaden script-hand of David Cage to turn in a game about slavery, human rights and equality, without making it unbelievably cringey.

We're talking about a guy who thought the best way to represent the advancement and potential fear of technology was to have you fight a living embodiment of the internet in Indigo Prophecy. A guy who reigned everything in for the mostly spectacular Heavy Rain (minus the voice acting), but who then had you battling a giant wall of sand (with a face) in Beyond: Two Souls.

Detroit: Become Human is the latest from Cage's brilliant mind - and don't get me wrong, we need way more of him than another Activision or Warner Bros. - but when this looks to be another narrative-heavy experience with plenty of opportunities to go sideways, I'm praying it doesn't.
