Detroit: Become Human
£49.99, PS4 ★★★★ This is a heavily narrative-driven adventure game with a futuristic sci-fi setting, exclusively for the PlayStation 4.
It’s set in a futuristic version of Detroit where androids are becoming increasingly commonplace and are tasked with various jobs by their human owners. The game is very decision driven, with a lot of variations on the overall plot depending on your strategy.
It also moves along with or without you, so if you fail to make a decision in time or explore an area fully, the plot may move along regardless. It’s a fun game where you can switch off your brain and treat it like an interactive popcorn blockbuster movie, with its many branches led by player involvement giving you a real sense of personal investment. Choices feel like they matter, which is rare for decision-based games.
