Detroit: Become Human - Does It Still Have Replayability Value?

Back in 2018, Detroit: Become Human came out, and by all means, it was a great success. The game was highly lauded, and I still firmly believe it's much better than its predecessors: Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain. We'll go into a bit of depth about the story and replayability, so warning in advance: there will be spoilers ahead. If you've not played Detroit: Become Human before, I advise you to stop reading now.

Bex remembers Detroit

I remember playing Detroit that year, and there's no doubt it was one of my favourite games. However, there was one thing I remember disliking: replaying it. I hated it at the time, but after a five-year hiatus from the game, I think I've finally forgotten enough of the plot that I can enjoy it again.

Before I start, though, I need to take a moment to appreciate the title screen. I didn't appreciate it enough the first time around, but Chloe was a fun addition to the main menu. The discussion of AI was more interesting and relevant now than it was five years ago, and she always had something new to say. But I won't chat about the title screen for too long, except I will miss having comments when I enter the game.

One of the best things about Detroit was the multiple story strands, and I do like games where your choice matters. Unfortunately, it's also a game that will make you depressed if you make the wrong choice. I still feel guilty for some of my choices, especially when they stick.
