Furthermore, the quick time events in Detroit
have been improved and expanded considerably.
The game is much more lenient and accurate
in interpreting player inputs compared to Heavy
Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. This improvement
means that I did not fail a single quick time event,
but it also means that the game is noticeably
easier and less dynamic in its potential for quick
story changes. Due to this shift, I interacted with
a narrative that was dictated almost exclusively
by dialogue choices and the thoroughness with
which I explored environments rather than the
occasional misfortune or error. It’s hard to feel
tense when success seems all but certain during
major action sequences.
