Key Features:
A divided near-future: discover a time of great technological advancement, but also a time of chaos and conspiracy. Mechanical augmentations of the human body have divided society between those who can afford them, and those who can’t. Opposing forces conspire from the shadow to control the destiny of mankind: a human revolution is coming.
A perfect mix of action and role-play: the game uniquely combines action-packed close-quarters takedowns with intense shooting, offering a vast array of character augmentations and upgrades for the many weapons at your disposal. Unlock new abilities and increase your stealth, social, hacking or combat skills: the game rewards all styles of play and approaches. Determine how you want your character to evolve, based on how you want to play the game.
Choices and consequences: shoot your way through the enemies, sneak up behind them without being traced, hack systems to retrieve crucial information, or use your social skills to extract information from key characters – there are always choices, multiple approaches, multiple paths and multiple tools at your disposal. Choose your playing style and face the consequences of your actions: you decide how the story unfolds in his enhanced storyline featuring the full integration of "The Missing Link" and "Tongs Mission". Find more ways to defeat the new and improved Boss Fights, use the Newgame+ feature to replay the story with your previously acquired augmentations. Learn more about the game with the developers commentaries in ENGLISH ONLY and the original "Making of" video.
Played this when it released on x360 back in the day. Nice to revisit, taking a star off because kind of a weird port (there are frameskip issues when aiming) can be fixed with installing dx june2010 redist. Great game, takes a lot more mental concentration than most rpg's.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a prequel to the Deus Ex games, where you play as augmented security guard Adam Jensen hunting the people who kidnapped his girlfriend. These augmentations provide unique ways to progress, like you can convince people easier, fight multiple enemies, or find alternate pathways by jumping and stacking boxes. Like many of its kind, stealth and nonlethal is the recommended way, as firefights can get intense very fast, and will raise alarms.
While many parts of the game are quite linear, there are city hubs that has side quests, and are no less interesting than the main ones. Sadly, you'll only visit about 2 of those hubs, Detroit and Hengsha. They are revisited again later in the story. New areas in those became explorable though, and there are also changes and obviously new sidequests. But honestly I do think the areas feel a bit cramped, not too open.
Despite mainly being a stealth game, there are unavoidable boss battles where you must kill them. Because of that, it is recommended to augment the damage you take and carry at least 1 lethal weapon. Heavy rifle, laser rifle, and revolver are good ideas. There are alternate strategies such as tossing explosive barrels or hacking the security system, but these are not easy either.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a very good stealth game, if you like the genre and/or cyberpunk aesthetics you should play this game, and every other in the Deus Ex franchise.
First of all, don't compare this game with the original one. Different generations and all yk. Enjoy both as they are and forget about the others when playing one of them.
Most games cater to one side: great story, or great gameplay. In my opinion, this one tried catering to both, and it achieved its goals.
