The gameplay of a title might be the deciding factor as to whether a game is enjoyable or not, but it’s the story that makes players remember the game for generations to come.
A masterful experience in this regard, Detroit: Become Human is one of the most fascinating choice-based morality games on the market today. If players were fans of this interactive story, there are other titles that compare well in style and scope.
Other Games Like Detroit: Become Human
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter
If players loved the decision mechanic in Detroit: Become Human, they might want to play this Sherlock Holmes-based title. In Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter, players can explore famous London locations while solving mysteries. The narrative is gripping and there are many fascinating characters along the way.
Nier: Automata
Nier: Automata is one of those games that burrows deep under players' skin. For the most part, it’s a fairly standard Action game with shades of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. In this game, players follow the stories of three androids as they try to find their place in the world. The existentialism is thick, and players will find themselves questioning whether androids are capable of feeling the same things as humans.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is full of engaging characters, storylines, and multiple endings like Detroit: Become Human, but with a larger scope. Many people have drawn comparisons between the two games, because CD Projekt Red’s upcoming game is also an open-world RPG game. However, players will have to wait a while before they can play Cyberpunk 2077, as the release date is still far off.
As Dusk Falls
As Dusk Falls has many branching paths as the lives of two families continue to entangle over 30 years. Players can play through a total of three different time periods, based on two perspectives. While this choice mechanic is nowhere near as complex as Detroit: Become Human, it’s still a fascinating game worth checking out if players enjoyed the work of D:A.
Deliver Us The Moon
Another atmospheric, story-driven game like Detroit: Become Human, Deliver Us The Moon is a bit different in that it’s set on the moon in a near-future setting. Much like Detroit, this game focuses on exploration and documentation as players take photos, converse with interesting characters, and get lost in the beautiful world around them.
Season: A Letter To The Future
This is a game that’s all about the experience, and players will find that it’s got a lot in common with Detroit: Become Human. Season is an exploration game that focuses on documentation. In fact, players are only meant to take a certain number of photos during their playthrough. This encourages them to take the time to explore the world and get to know the people in it.
The Legendary Edition of Mass Effect
If players are fans of science fiction, then they’ll probably want to play through all three games of this excellent trilogy. As they follow Commander Shepard’s heroic adventures throughout space and time, they’ll find that there are many similar styles and mechanics between Detroit and this space opera.
The Quarry
The Quarry is similar to Detroit in many ways. Players are stuck in a strange world with no way out, and they’ll have to guide the uncanny Amelia through a maze of puzzles and traps in order to escape. Quick-time events, multiple protagonists, and a tense atmosphere – these things are all present in both of these games.
