I haven’t played Detroit yet (and am in no rush to) so can’t comment on it, but I did play Beyond last year and....... yeah, yikes.

I did like some things about the game, mostly the fact that it was a female character doing things I rarely get to see female characters do, but so much of it was so ridiculous. I liveblogged it (and haven’t gotten around to crossposting it here, whoops) but overall it’s just not a good game. i enjoyed it and had fun with it (well, as much fun as one can have with those A W F U L controls), but a lot of my enjoyment came from my love of nonlinear narratives and my general interest in the sci-fi concepts in the story. the game itself, not so much.
