![]() ![]() I asked for this Director's Cut, as I think others did. It works great as a prequel to DX1 and is set just far enough in the franchise's past that you can see how far future society has decayed by the 2050s. The transhumanist themes arguably are executed better here than in the first game. Adam Jensen is a great character and has become more iconic over time. The story is still good and holds up well. Persuasion is actually useful in this game, but feels a bit too random sometimes persuasion matters though, which is excellent. This might be a hot take but I like the hacking minigame, although hacking is overpowered this time. The augmentations are simpler to use and there are far more passive than DX1. Sure, you could sneak around using augmentations for a non-lethal playthrough, but you could also go in guns blazing. Freedom of gameplay once again returns, with multiple routes to completing objectives. It feels likes DX 1, but more streamlined. Overall, however, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an exceptionally fun - but mature - game that lives up to the coveted series.After the disappointment that was Invisible War, Human Revolution came along and showed that Deus Ex could still work beyond the original game. Too bad the suspension of disbelief is sometimes broken with pop-up screens about the game itself early on, in a helicopter ride, a message appeared thanking me for preordering the game and as a result I've got bonus weapons and levels to play with. Helping out the gratifying, customizable gameplay and intriguing story and characters is an imaginatively designed world complemented by cinematic cut-scenes and a Hollywood-style soundtrack. The side-missions, which vary on who you talk to, are also invariably linked to the plot. And while the story (and dialogue) might sometimes seem over-the-top, all your missions and actions feel relevant to the tale and not a weak excuse just to shoot people. Or you can opt for a combination of styles, weapons, and skills plus, it's an RPG so you'll choose what to upgrade over time. For example, there are multiple ways to approach each mission (through combat, stealth, hacking, and interrogating, for example), different paths to take in the level, and varied weapons (long- or short-range) and cybernetic skills (including cloak, X-Ray vision, and more). This ambitious and immersive first-person RPG excels in almost every department, particularly in giving the gamer a choice on how to play. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the third game in an 11 year-old series. As you visit futuristic versions of cities like Shanghai, Montreal, and Detroit, you'll see the game was likely inspired by films like Blade Runner and The Fifth Element (and perhaps RobotCop), as well as clothing and architecture influenced by the Italian Renaissance period. While there's a lot more to the well-conceived plot, much of the focus is on the battle between the "Normals" - those who are opposed to augmentation, can't afford it, or whose bodies won't accept the implants - and the "Augs," about 20 percent of the world with cybernetic parts that give additional strength, smarts, and other abilities. You play as Adam Jensen, a mechanically augmented ex-cop in the near future - 2027 to be exact - who is tapped to figure out why someone is trying to ensure humankind's evolution follows a particular path. Eidos Montreal's debut game, DEUX EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION, is a cyberpunk-infused, action-heavy role-playing game (RPG).
