the consensus I think is that Heavy Rain starts well and is interesting but also completely falls apart in its second half.
David Cage makes a lot of "big idea" games and is occasionally incredibly tonedeaf and people don't like him for that reason (his latest is apparently about robot racism and is just called Detroit. Draw your own conclusions there).
I think he's kind of become a Peter Molyneux figure where people only really bring him up to make fun of him.
I agree, kinda, mainly because I like some of his gameplay concepts as clumsily executed as they may be, but "Detroit is mostly just a game about robots" is a statement I find very fun to make fun of.

I know next to nothing about David Cage besides the performative dunking.
