About

You play Adam Jensen, a security specialist, handpicked to oversee the defense of one of America’s most experimental biotechnology firms. But when a black ops team uses a plan you designed to break in and kill the scientists you were hired to protect, everything you thought you knew about your job changes. At a time when scientific advancements are routinely turning athletes, soldiers and spies into super-enhanced beings, someone is working very hard to ensure mankind’s evolution follows a particular path, and you need to discover why - the decisions you take and the choices you make, will be the only things that can change it.

    While it’s slightly more linear than the original, the level of polish and effort that have gone into it more than make up for it. Eidos Montreal has successfully blended the best of both worlds, rebooting a classic franchise without losing the core of what made the original beloved.

    It has its issues, but it's the world, the setting, and the story that make Human Revolution great. These aspects of the game are so solid that I happily waded through the game's low points in search of the next hackable terminal or other flavor-filled bit of dialogue or text. That stuff is so strong that, unless you're an extreme stickler for the above-mentioned problems, you'll more than likely be able to look past the game's weak points as well.

    It's a visionary, considered piece of work, and while my thoughts drift to the things that could have been and the compromises made due to the possibilities of video games in 2011, they're just as quick to consider playing through it again. Human Revolution is a smart, rewarding piece of transhumanist noir that does justice not just to Deus Ex, but to the fiction that inspired it.

    Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the Xbox 360. What makes this game so good is its ability to mix things up and not follow any one particular genre template. The RPG, Stealth, and Shooter sequences all work together and the series has successfully managed to capture some of the magic from the original game.

    Perhaps the strongest compliment I can pay Eidos Montreal is this: with its grand design, dynamic play and sheer wealth of ideas - not to mention its old-fashioned pre-occupation with air vents - Deus Ex: Human Revolution is reminiscent of the best efforts from the golden era of PC gaming at the end of the 90s. It's a modern release imbued with the finer qualities of an age gone by.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution is fan-fucking-tastic. It’s the sort of game you don’t want to stop playing. You can talk about it with a friend, compare notes, and learn all new ways to play. That makes it a true and utterly faithful sequel to Deus Ex, perhaps more so than all the reasons I’ve already listed. If you’ve waited eleven years since the original game for a real sequel, you have no excuse. Play this game and love every second of it.

    Great story and gameplay. Best to play side quests to upgrade and unlock alternate story paths. Your final action is what affects the ending of the game. You can play lethally or non-lethally. Limit to the number of objects you can carry but the most vital items are health and energy packs.

    Not many people will agree with me on this one but I felt the game kind of boring. The environment doesn't has that catch and gameplay is repetitive with more emphasis on stealth.
