Welcome to Detroit.
The android capital of the world in 2038.

And let me say some important things about it:
1》G-R-A-P-H-I-C-S
2》T-E-X-T-U-R-E-S
3》C-O-N-C-E-P-T-S

They are all detailed in the game. Oh, I still can't get rid of its effect. I've got a lot to day about this.

According to my searches, this game took at least 4 years to make it and the reason is clearly seen when you play it. Well, the endings (approx. 45) might not be as much as the Until Dawn's [which is one of my favourite] endings (approx. 256?) but still, it satisfies you. I specifically care about this part because butterfly effect and similar theories have special meanings for me. I'm usually fond of multiple ending games. Even though the number of endings are lesser than it, there are plenty of crossroads in the game and they are all appreciable.

Art concepts and technologies of the game are especially a different issue to discuss about. Telling an engine to explain the mechanism of it is hard because the materials are complex and mostly programmed by Quantic Dream. The aesthetic within the game is pleasuring your eyes. Ah, one of the best places for me was the house of a well-known artist, Carl Manfred. The colours of its decorations and anterior design was exactly reflecting his character.

As we mentioned about the year 2038, this makes the game quite impressive from the beginning. [Considering that is released in 2018, there's just 20 years.] I don't know if it is only me but in this way, you got the chance of empathizing the characters. Maybe because smaller gap between years makes it more understandable or having nothing too much utopia related helps this too.

Seeking morality of the life and artificial intelligence combination is pretty confusing. These guys, have thirium 310 [blue android blood] within their synthetic veins and this provide their biocomponents [android organs] work properly. Just as normal human blood, thirium is very helpful forensic cases or repairing damaged/injured androids.

Those androids... They are truly realistic and enchanting. They all have their own areas to function. There're three main androids take part as protagonists who symbolizes different parts of the society:

Connor [RK800, #313 248 317]

"Hi, my name is Connor. I'm the android sent by Cyberlife."

 Markus [RK200, #684 842 971]

"An eye for an eye and the world goes blind."

Kara [AX400, #579 102 694]

"My name is Kara."

You see everything. You feel every change.

All these characters give you change to have this unique experience from many different aspects. Their character development, relationships and lifes are up to your decisions. You can make the story longer or shorter. Additionally, they are developing themselves too and sometimes they might surprise you by their own actions based on you previous decisions.

Even the supporting characters have important backgrounds. [I won't talk about any of them specifically because I can't stop talking about Hank and Connor's relationship.] You get addicted as much as you play, learn about them. Plus, there's something which I found clever: you can track what's going on the world by finding and reading magazines in the game. Their content change according to changing events. Thus, the game makes you feel completely part of it.

Furthermore, there are gynoids/guynoids in the game for satisfying robosexual/romosexual people. This is a part which I've always thought about, because terms of relationships are totally changed in today's world. Many people lost their tolerance towards others and no one listens to the others. So, an obedient partner without having any concerns or uncontrollable emotions in the future can be preferred from most of these people.

In the end, I certainly recommend this game. No matter what you do, it will not waste your time.

I mean... If you haven't played this game, you are loosing:

Beautifully created art concepts.
Well organised story-line.
An unusual gameplay.
MEMES. Great memes.

Take your time to meet Connor, Markus, Kara and the others. Listen, watch, experience their stories.

You will not regret.

My rating: 5/5
