I don't know about Cage, and since I've not watched any of his shit I'm not going to judge, but given NieR: Automata's recent success I say he has really big expectations to fill with Detroit.
The former was a very animesque sci-fi setting filled to the brim with things one might consider ridiculous, such as magitech stripper androids, cutesy enemies, a really bizzare post-apocalyptic setting, and yet despite its many fantastical elements managed to show a personal and tragic plot that is chock-full of themes such as existential horror, a thesis on the quirks of human society, the concept of eternal recurrance in both history and the gaming industry, and finally the creator's views on the topic of violence in both fictional media and real life.
Meanwhile, Detroit: Become Human takes place in a modern setting. This gives it some sort of headstart, mainly because of the more 'realistic' background, which gives it more opportunity to explore various themes. For one thing, the Androids of Automata are almost identical to humans, hence leaving the question of sapience, sentience and the differences inbetween largely unexplored. This is already an opportunity to do some navel-gazing, and I'm curious to at least see how Detroit answers this question.
Of course, everyone is calling it a trainwreck at this point, but hey, trainwrecks are still fun to watch
