Rated Detroit: Become Human 9/10

The story is extremely compelling, if at times brazen about the message it wants to send. I saw a playthrough of this game back when it released, but now having played it for myself in 2025/2026, and after having much personal growth since seeing that playthrough, the story hits harder, and burns brighter. In an age of the human rights of the marginalized constantly being threatened (I speak from a United States standpoint) and where artificial intelligence usage is at an all-time high, stories like this highlight why, to quote Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor, "Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise." Now, of course, you can make Markus take the alternative route, but I don't think that's the ethos of the game. The game asks its audience to consider what determines personhood, and what happens when those in power deny it from those who assert it for themselves. 8.7/10, will definitely be playing again (to at least explore some of the other story lines)
