#10. Detroit: Become Human
2018
PS4/PC (I played mine on PS4)
Quantic Dream
Action/Adventure

Here is my favorite console game in 2018!

This felt like sci-fi with heart and purpose, like Robocop, also set in future Detroit. Big giant script? Lots of points? Dark story that leads somewhere? Sure! This isn't some fanciful story like I Robot, its realistically gritty.

The game works very, very well. The various aspect are great. There's more moral choices. Kind of like Fallout 1 & 2 , but not 3 & 4 where you re forced into being a good person in your dialogue and other places.

Now I am a little surprised by he mixed reviews. I just researched it and some reviewers like PC Gamer really weren't fans of the game, and I'm a little surprised by it's Metacritic score of %78.

I don;t know why. Not fans of a lot of talking in their games? Maybe they want more fights and less world building? Want a dumb shooter? Insert Call of Duty here?

Now to be fair to DBH, it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But it was definitely my favorite console game of it's release year, and it's cracking my top 10!

What are your thoughts? Where do you fall?
