![]() He’s got absolutely no sense of humour and is more likely to crack your face in than crack a joke. Jensen’s a proper Adonis, a finely coiffured, stony-faced psychopath. Speaking of which, he’s called Adam Jensen. Naturally it all largely takes place at night, in moody run-down backstreets, neon signs and street lamps providing the only illumination for your chap to scowl around. The use of electronic enhancements is rife, and tensions between ‘naturals’ and the augmented are coming to a head. It’s 2027, a few decades before the first game. Chronologically it’s the first game in the series, meaning the developers can ignore how increasingly apeshit the plot in the other games became and start the proceedings from a more sober angle. You’ll find yourself wandering around grittily-realised city streets (they act as hub worlds that have their own side missions) and infiltrating heavily guarded fortifications. Even Invisible War! Maybe.įor the uninitiated though, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a stealth action RPG that takes place in a near future dystopia. Besides, after you give Human Revolution a shot, there’s a good chance you’ll go back and try the original again anyway, as Human Revolution is so immersive, you’ll immediately want to play the other games. You don’t need me rattling off a load of clichés about how revolutionary and amazing Deus Ex was, with its level of choice, gritty sci-fi aesthetic and brilliant acting (‘You’re gonna burn alright.’). And that's promising.It’s a truth universally acknowledged that every time you mention Deus Ex, someone will reinstall it. But I have a feeling they are heading towards something great. ![]() I truly hope the developers of human revolution make another deus ex game - because I think they had the right idea. So far ahead of it's time that nothing else can quite match it. ![]() This is a revolution in gaming that never took off. This game needs a 999/10 score made specifically for it. And find one of the true miracles of gaming. No, this is not just 'some first person shooter' dig deeper. That's what you need to understand when you boot up deus ex and see some janky graphics and blocky models. Now you have 30 hours of incredible globe trotting, storytelling, twists turns, cities, exploration - all with that very level of freedom options. Now, that thing you did was one of a few hundred things you could have done to achive that same 8 minute objective. You walk up to the heavily guarded entrance to your objective - and you remotely detonate the explosive, all the guards run towards the threat and you walk into the room. You walk strait in, and decide to open a vent that leads you to the roof, in which you plant explosives that might distract the guards. You then threaten the manager with information you have on him, that you picked up off a nearby computer - then you walk past the guards and enter the keypass into the door slot. You take choice 5 out of 15 and go through the sewers instead of the top, no strike that - you decide going above ground is best, so you get a crane and lower the shaft so you can sneak across onto the roof - no strike that, you decide to go full force and shoot everyone in your path - no strike that, you decide to go to the building manager and get a keypass, now when you open the caravan that the manager is in, it has cameras inside it, so you hack those cameras to work for you. So options, lead to options, lead to options. ![]() Now, there are about 10-15 different 'ways' you can get into the building and each 'way' has branching 'options'. You need to infiltrate a building and get past all the guards in the building so you can download an important document (this is hypothetical). Let me explain - It's like this there is a simple thing you need to do. Each hub (or sectioned level) offers hundreds possible 'ways' to achieve a simple goal. It still stands alone as something incredible - the only problem is that now people have to look past the age (if they are coming in fresh). Deus ex is the true definition of a masterpiece, it gives you true options - options that the lesser masterpiece human revolution can't even match. So surely that means I deduct a few points right there? No. Why? It's sure visually aged poorly, it's kind of clunky. Deus ex - has been my favorite game for the past 12 years. Then add a dash of common sense and ability to analyse and read between the lines. Then cross-compare them with the positive reviews. You know what should truly sell you on deus ex? Reading the negative reviews on metacritic.
