This game was for some time in my watch list, but I have never pulled the plug, and oh boy, was I in for a treat.
The game is very interesting depicting a dystopian future, where we are all headed, with an even bigger divide between rich and poor. A future completely driven by technological innovation for better or worse. The story gives you interesting perspectives from both the fortunate and less fortunate people and gives you an idea about their emotional struggles, thoughts, etc.
The game is story driven and it is not competitive or fast paced. It is for those of you who enjoy the good story and to see the consequences of their actions or words. I really recommend it and I dread the day, I will reach the end the same way I dread the day I finish an extremely captivating book, as it will leave a small void in my soul.

In all seriousness. Great game. Definitely their best. Definitely the least cringe. Heavy rain is a meme game and a classic, but I can’t get over the fact that the main playable female character in that game is literally ONLY there to function as a sexual object that fucks the main character, takes care of him, and gets assaulted in her underwear. Luckily Detroit didn’t seem to have nearly as much of that cringe bullshit. David Cage writes video game scripts like a fucking incel, so glad Detroit was a welcome change of pace.
