Conquering Detroit: How Many Playthroughs Does it REALLY Take to Become Platinum?
Ah, Detroit: Become Human. A game where your choices ripple through the narrative like a rogue pebble in a pond, sending androids flying off in unexpected directions (sometimes literally). But with that branching narrative comes a burning question for trophy hunters: how many times do I have to save the world (or watch it burn) to snag that sweet platinum?
The Short Answer (For the Impatient Android)
The minimum? Buckle up, buttercup, because it's two playthroughs. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, chums.
The Long Answer (For the Achievement Aficionado)
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Here's the thing: Detroit: Become Human isn't your average "pew-pew, gotta shoot all the bad guys" kind of game. It's about the choices you make, and those choices can drastically alter the story. So, two playthroughs will get you a good chunk of the trophies, but to see all the nooks and crannies of this narrative labyrinth, you'll probably need to do some chapter select and mop-up work.
Think of it like this: You're at a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet. Two plates might fill you up, but are you really going to leave without trying that fancy chocolate fountain or that suspicious-looking jello mold? (Though maybe avoid the jello mold in Detroit: Become Human, just sayin').
Pro Tip: Befriend the Flowchart, Your New Best Friend
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
The game helpfully offers a flowchart that tracks your decisions. This can be your guide to revisiting chapters and making different choices to unlock those hidden trophies. Just be warned, staring at this flowchart for too long might induce a feeling of existential dread as you realize the sheer number of realities you could have created.
But Wait, There's More! How to Avoid Spoiling the Story (and Your Sanity)
While you could just blindly pick a new path every time, there is a method to the madness. Here's a golden rule: Don't be afraid to sacrifice characters (sorry, not sorry) in your quest for trophies. You can always go back and experience their beautiful, tragic stories later in a new playthrough. Just think of it as... an extreme form of method acting.
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
