Don't let Steam fool you; the "director's cut" of this game, the most accessible way to obtain it, is pretty terrible and is an overall worse port with multiple downgrades. I was thankful to get a copy in my steam library and i have never forgotten its amazing protagonist and great mechanics that modernize Deus Ex in a tasteful way. The original port deserves to be preserved in all its golden filter goodness.
This version of Deus Ex Human Revolution is not the same as the version that is being sold on GOG. The version that is currently available, the so-called "Director's Cut" is a vastly inferior version (in most cases) of the original title that is, in and of itself, a PC port of the Wii U port of the original version of the game. The Wii U version, AKA "Director's Cut" was based on an outdated build of Deus Ex Human Revolution and introduced a number of graphical bugs and glitches and more or less butchered the lighting of the entire game. Furthermore, the developers responsible for the Wii U version removed the gold filter from the game entirely, with no way to re-enable it without mods, ruining the entire mood and atmosphere of the game for those that enjoy it.
The Director's Cut was originally only meant for release on the Wii U, but after it became evidently apparent that the Wii U was a total failure, Square Enix quickly and haphazardly commissioned the Director's Cut to also be released on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC—in the case of PC, the original version of the game was delisted from all stores and replaced with the inferior Director's Cut Wii U PC port junk that we currently have for sale on GOG.
This page is an important resource in having the original version of Deus Ex Human Revolution restored—ideally being bundled together with the "Director's Cut" version, to give people the choice on which version they would like to play, as some people do enjoy the boss fight alterations made in the Director's Cut (arguably the only good change the Director's Cut made to the original game).
Personally speaking, the desecration of the original game's artistic vision in the Director's Cut is not worth having improved boss fights. Human Revolution is one of my favourite games of all time and I remember when it was originally announced as Deus Ex 3. I hope some day GOG can have this original version of the game restored from its banishment in digital delisting hell.
The original Deus Ex: Human Revolution singlehandedly brought back the Deus Ex franchise back to life. Sadly, the "Director's Cut" edition has a lot of issues and controversial changes - gold filter is gone, some shadows are broken, new bugs added. I would really like to have the preserved original one instead.
The original Deus Ex was my first introduction to PC gaming. I remember being fascinated by the cover, the music, and the aesthetic as a six-year-old when it first released in 2000. I never really knew how to play properly and spent hours upon hours running around Liberty Island. When I got older, I understood the mechanics and was hooked. It’s no exaggeration to say I’ve played Deus Ex at least 50 times in the last 25 years.
Human Revolution introduced a whole new generation to the Deus Ex formula. Although it is slightly more linear due to console limitations, it remained faithful to the original while advancing the gameplay. A phenomenal game in its own right that has aged incredibly well, any fan of RPGs and immersive sims should play it. It’s a shame that Mankind Divided couldn’t come close to Deus Ex or Human Revolution.
The Director's Cut incorporates The Missing Link DLC into the game and changes the color palette. I think both of these additions should be optional, so I’d prefer to have the vanilla Human Revolution for a better aesthetic and style.
Some people could think that this is a duplicate, but the original release had a different colour palette and different light distribution. I don't know whether I would pay full price of it, but I would definitely like to own it.
It's important to understand though that the original version obviously lacks the added content. (duh)
I am one of those maniacs that plays all entries of a game series in a row and I did that with the whole Deus Ex Series in 2019. But I already played through Human Revolution once back when it released. So by the time I reached Human revolution during the playthrough I recognized that something was off...and indeed when I read up on the Director´s Cut I realized that it is the Wii U port. I played through it regardless, but it pains me to know how low spec everything is compared to the original and that I will likely never experience the original glory of the PC version again. I would really wish for GoG or even Nightdive to remaster this original version with all the QoL of the Director's Cut. But a good first step would be to get the original version on GoG. Especially now that loads of AAA Immersive Sims get cancelled left and right these days. Bring back this masterpiece please! I have so many fond memories of this game. I just loved to live in this world and experience the the successor to the godfather of Tech Noir!
While I enjoy the Director's Cut and it was my first experience with the game, in restropect some of the changes such as removing the gold filter and incorporating The Missing Link into the main story, are counterproductive to the experience.
So it would be amazing if more players have the oportunity of playing the og version as it was intended.
I want this game on GOG because I believe what I read about it: it has better performance, less bugs and the iconic golden tint intact (and optional). Also optional is the DLC, as it isn't forced on the player.
The first game I've played with relevant themes of politics, psychology and when I discovered I'd be a damned good Adam Jensen augs or not!
Seriously something that inspired my whole taste in media, and something that everyone should experience once, especially after Cyberpunk 2077 and having that mentality of chooms and questioning your approach where you should naturally!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
