Last year, developer Quantic Dream surprised the world by releasing its Sony exclusive titles on PC. Partnering with Epic, the games were given a one-year exclusivity on the Epic Games Store before they were able to head to other digital distribution platforms. The timer on that deal is almost up.
Anyone with an interest in Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human will be able to enjoy them on Steam starting June 18, 2020. While no prices are given, the two PS3 titles are $19.99 on Epic while Detroit goes for $39.99. If you want to try out each title to see if your PC can run it, demos are available on Steam for you to sample.
There won't be any new or exclusive features with these belated ports. They are exactly the same as the Epic versions, safe for booting from Steam. Whether or not that difference matters to you, it is nice to see each game be available from a different storefront. Epic isn't the most convenient of digital marketplaces and Steam routinely has sales slashing prices on everything.
I'm not sure any of these games are really worth playing, but I can't deny their technological prowess. Detroit, in particular, is incredible looking with some very realistic character models and highly detailed environments. Sticking to smaller-scale levels, Quantic Dream was able to milk a lot of power from Sony's PS4 console. It should look absolutely stunning in true 4K resolution.
You'll also have a plethora of options when it comes to controlling these games. There are gamepad controls with the ability to freely remap buttons along with using mouse and keyboard. It brings to mind how Heavy Rain utilized PlayStation Move on PS3, which was definitely a unique way of playing through the murder mystery game.
The only factor for determining if you should grab these is your tolerance for cheese. Director David Cage isn't known for being subtle and his writing is pretty hackneyed. There are fragments of good ideas here and there, but each game tends to devolve into a series of obvious twists that robs them of the emotional impact Cage thought he was creating.
Still, Hank and Connor rule, so Detroit is okay enough.
