Ranking Every PS4 Exclusive From Worst To Best

11. Detroit: Become Human

Detroit Become Human
Quantic Dream

Few things are as hilariously tone-deaf as a David Cage game, and once he turned his attention to sci-fi android futurescapes as an analog to real-world racial history, we all cringed into various geometric shapes.

In execution, Cage does have some great ideas. You'll play the whole game through the synthetic eyes of a robo-cop detective, an increasingly sentient freedom fighter, and a carer-turned-foster mother; the beauty of which being that at times, you're making choices that benefit one character while damning the other.

It's this dynamic that gives Detroit a sense of quality outside the godawfully "playful" way it approaches things like androids standing at the back of the bus, the Black Power fist representing android rights, or even holocaust imagery being prevalent on their clothing.

Production is aided by some of the best visuals in all of gaming, but I have to stress that your mileage may vary depending on how much Cage veers from emotional moments to careless iconography the next.
