So You Wanna Know How Long It Takes to Save (or Destroy) Detroit? A Not-So-Serious Guide to Detroit: Become Human's Playtime
Hey there, fellow android enthusiasts and potential robot overlords! You've snagged yourself a copy of Detroit: Become Human, a game where your choices literally change the fate of the world (or at least downtown Detroit). But before you dive headfirst into this neo-noir hugfest of existential crisis and robot rebellion, you might be wondering: just how long will it take me to become a digital messiah (or supervillain)?
Well, buckle up, because unlike those pesky androids with their pre-determined lifespans, this ain't a one-size-fits-all answer. Here's the lowdown on how long you can expect to be glued to your screen, making questionable decisions for a bunch of malfunctioning machines:
The Straightforward Speedrun: Beeline to the End in 12ish Hours
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
If you're all about efficiency and getting straight to the robot revolution (or crushing it with an iron fist), you can potentially blast through the main story in about 12 hours. Think of it as the "I-just-want-to-see-all-the-endings" playthrough. Just be prepared for some serious whiplash as you jump from rooftop chase to hostage negotiation to existential breakdown – all in a single day's work (well, technically a game's work).
The Tourist Trap: Taking the Scenic Route (20-ish Hours)
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
Maybe you're more of a "stop and smell the digital roses" kind of player. You wanna explore every nook and cranny of Detroit, chat up every random NPC (even if they're just a glorified Roomba), and soak in the atmosphere like a cybernetic sponge. In this case, expect your playtime to balloon to a cool 20 hours or so. Just don't get too distracted by the pretty lights, or you might miss that critical plot point that changes everything.
The Completionist Conundrum: Catching 'Em All the Endings (30+ Hours)
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
 |
Ah, the dreaded completionist. You gotta see every variation, every possible outcome, every pixel-perfect tear shed by a malfunctioning android. If this sounds like you, then welcome to the friend zone – the friend zone of spending over 30 hours with this game. But hey, at least you can brag to your friends that you've seen every single possible way this robot uprising could go down.
The Butterfly Effect: How Your Choices REALLY Matter
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
Now here's the kicker: Detroit: Become Human is a game where your choices have a massive impact on the story. A seemingly insignificant decision in one chapter can snowball into a completely different ending later on. So, that time you decided to be a sassy jerk to a random android on the street? Yeah, that might come back to bite you (or them) in the metal backside later. This means that every playthrough is unique, and your playtime can easily fluctuate depending on the path you forge.
