Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut

I love cRPG games. I love stealth games. I love dystopian science fiction. I love games with story that makes you like "I just NEED to unravel all these things". Before playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution I barely heard of the Deux Ex series. After DX:HR I became a great fan of it. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is on my top 5 list of best games I ever played.

This game has nice graphics and good gameplay. The game sets you in an dystopian world where conspiracy and rebellion is around you. It plays with illuminati hints and big organizatiosn which work secretly to implent there vision of augmentation and the future of humanity in the world. So its kind of fitting in the Deus Ex Universe. But most of the time the story is about looking after your girlfriend and infiltrate several organisations for that purpose. The protagonist is not the bloodcould secret agent Denton you know, but a naiv soldier who does Jobs for several organisations on the way to his girlfriend. In the end it gets better. There are some references to Deus Ex and some ideas for a big conspiracy in the world, but not many new ideas that make me to want to find out more about this secrets. "The mechs might have copper wiring to re-route their fear of pain, JC Denton got nerves of steel but Adam Jenses might have butterflies in his stomache." I would give 3-4 stars because the playing was fun for me and the game is decent. But the story is to shallow and should be called "a side story to Deus Ex".

when I installed and launched the first Deus Ex game back in 2000, I instantly knew it will be something different. I fell in love, which still lasts until today. I felt the same when I launched this game for the first time. a very good semi-open world game, but greatly driven by the story. great characters, dialogues, well-written quests, very good graphical design, very snappy controls. what else do you need? :) Plus, I love the near-future world, it's more immersive to me.

I haven't played many stealth games apart from the original Deus Ex and the Thief series so i cant compare to much except those two. I own it on Steam, i had a really great time playing this, just like the original Deus Ex you get alot of places to explore within the hubs that you visit, side quests, there is alot to do. The game literally oozes a dark, futuristic brooding atmosphere, both in looks and soundtrack, starting from the brilliant menu music and forward. The Stealth system encourages non-lethal takedowns as they give more exp points but i didn't feel having to take the non-lethal route brought the gameplay down since if you are playing at the highest difficulty getting into gun-fights easily leads to death anyway. My advice is to take your time with it, my favourite method in these games is to go knock every enemy out i can find, loot any trashcan and hidden spot, sell it and then go on with my mission but everyone plays differently. Well worth buying!

This is a great game, unfortunately held back by a number of technical problems that will never be fixed. Under the hood this is a port of the WiiU release which has caused a number of performance related issues including stutter while navigating. There are also a few graphical changes that spoil the atmosphere of the game slightly such as the lighting being altered. If you can get your hands on the original release then play that instead. If not, then this is an acceptable but sub par way to experience this excellent game.
