Is it still worth playing?

Quantic Dream's 2018 interactive drama for the PlayStation 4, set in 2038. It has three playable androids, Connor, Kara and Markus, any of whom can die without a game over. Quick time events are the main mechanic in fights, investigations and chases, alongside dialogue choices and countdowns, and touchpad and motion controls appear occasionally, which a difficulty change can remove. After each segment a flowchart shows every branch, with unchosen paths blank, and you can rewind to revisit decisions. Some chapters are linear, with branching stronger later. A flowchart that shows what you missed, and choices that change which scenes open, still give a replay a reason today.
