How Long to Beat Detroit: Become Human? Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a Choose-Your-Own-Android-Adventure!
So you've gotten your hands on Detroit: Become Human, the game that'll have you sweating over whether to save the world or become a rogue dishwasher (it's a wild ride). But here's the burning question: exactly how long will this android odyssey take? Well, buckle up, because the answer depends on your playstyle more than most games.
The "Just the Main Story, Thanks" Express
If you're a laser-focused gamer who just wants to see one storyline through, you're looking at roughly 12 hours. That's a decent chunk of time, but considering the branching narrative and emotional gut punches, it's a fair trade.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
But Wait, There's More! (Like, Way More)
Detroit: Become Human is all about those choices, and those choices lead to a multitude of endings. Want to see what happens if Kara throws caution to the wind (and possibly a toddler) off a skyscraper? You gotta play again, my friend. This kind of completionist run can take you anywhere from 20 to 30 hours.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
Distracted by Cybernetic Butterflies? No Shame!
Let's be honest, who wouldn't get sidetracked by a world filled with futuristic doodads and hidden secrets? Taking your sweet time to explore every nook and cranny, sniffing out collectibles, and maybe getting lost in existential debates with a wise old android can easily add another 5-10 hours to your playtime.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
The TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) Version for the Impatient Android
- Blasting through the main story: 12 hours
- Seeing multiple endings and exploring a bit: 20-30 hours
- Becoming one with the world and questioning your own humanity: 30+ hours (and possibly a therapy session)
