It is.
I've never played the other games so I have to assume that Detroit: Become Human is about a police robot that turns into the Terminator before the halfway point.
No it's about "Robots are like Black people in the 1960s" but also "Jews in the 1940s." There's an actual scene in a robot death camp.
So it's malcolm.exe, got it.
I think he's mostly on point. Like he said, the murder mystery part in the beginning (mostly the diner scene) is pretty good and sets a good tone but the rest of the game is garbage (flashback sequences especially) and just veers off into incoherent Matrix-Sci-Fi-Illuminati bullshit. As far as David Cage games are concerned I do think that Beyond Two Souls is worse and way more embarrassing.
Game definitely has problems, and the narrative is all over the place as the writers either give up or had no idea where to go next, but Ross gets too caught up on Simon Says inputs and develops tunnel vision over it. He's started doing that more often with new videos.
He's the archetype of modern writers in general.
The idea that you go through all that effort to cover up a crime just to be required to be caught and go full Jedi is honestly rather hilarious.
The excuse if I recall correctly was that it was supposed to be three games and they had to cut it down heavily. Bullshit of course.
He did a good job of capturing the feeling of potential at the start, and the complete collapse of expectations during the first Matrix scene.
