Deus Ex: Human Revolution

I picked up Deus Ex: Human Revolution a year after its release, But even then it still blew me away. The story line is very detailed and brilliant and the characters each have their own story to tell. The graphics are very realistic and the game play itself is very fun and sometimes quite challenging. There are a few flaws here and there such as when your speaking to someone they do the same animation over and over for the duration of that conversation, but it definitely does not spoil the experience. The game play mainly focuses on stealth and requires real strategy to pull off some of the games more challenging areas, but after doing it using your surrounding (such as hacking computers to shut down robots or stealthily taking down each guard one by one without getting caught)you get a very satisfying feeling. Overall, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an amazing game with a great story line and i would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great stealth game.

First off, this is a great game. I'd categorize it as an FPS RPG (First person shooter role playing game). It's very tactical and you will want to play this game over repeatedly to explore all the possible ways of playing the game, as well as its variety of endings. The great thing about this game is there is A LOT of variety... You can choose to be lethal or non-lethal, as well employing a wide range of strategies such as stealth and commando tactics (and more) to progress through the game. The story is alright, but it more or less focuses on Adam Jensens' character (watch after credits for my favorite part of game!)The voices, music, and sound effects are also well done and certainly add to the "cyber-punk" atmosphere of the game. In addition the cutscene animations are some of the best i've ever seen in terms of mimicry and lip syncing... I was able to find a new copy of this game for $35 a while back, i've also purchased the DLC Missing Link (which although good - isn't essential, but only 10$ if you want something more after you get through the game). At that price (35$) I can quite easily and conservatively rate this a 9 out of 10, However knowing others may pay more - it's a solid 8 ;-)

Deus Ex: human revolutions is one of those games that takes time to grow on you, especially if your not familiar with the series. I hadn't played any of the Deus Ex games before this and had no idea what to expect. When I first saw the trailer for this game I knew then and there that I wanted it. Guess what? I was not disappointed, and you won't be either. This game is a prequel to the original so you don't have to have played it to enjoy the story.

Human revolutions sets itself in a futuristic, cyberpunk world. A world where technology and bionic implants have become the major focus of the worlds developers and companies. You play the role of Adam Jenson who works as the head of security for a company who focus on the development of human augmentation. Shortly after you begin the game and get a taste of how it works, things get real and Adam becomes what he dislikes the most. And this is really where it begins and your journey into the world of Deus Ex begins.

Gameplay is mainly of the 1st person shooter variety. When you are moving around the environments your point of view will be Adam's. However when you take cover behind things like tables, barrels, or vehicles you will change to a 3rd person view. It's a little strange at first but you soon get used to it and it should become second nature. Where the game differs from your usual shooters is evident in two ways. Firstly because of Adam's new enhancements he can now upgrade and develop new abilities by the use of praxis points. Want to be invisible? No problem, want to want to jump off any height without so much as a scratch? Got you covered.

Another reason way Human revolutions differs from other shooters is because it allows you to tackle missions in different ways. Want to go in all guns blazing, then you can. Want to take the Solid snake route and sneak through without killing your enemies?, then that's great and even encouraged. Combine that with the ability to enter buildings in multiple ways, bribe people for information to make the job easier and a questioning system that differs depending on how you respond and you have a highly re-playable game.

The game play is great in this game, the A.I of the enemies is very acceptable. I would suggest you play on the "give me a challenge" setting to start. The weakest aspect of the game is easily the visuals, it really doesn't have the polish of some of the bigger titles out there, especially those of you coming off Gears of war or Final Fantasy. The character models do look kind of ordinary at times but it's not a game breaker. Other than that you really can't fault Human revolutions. The musical score of this game is one of the best ever and this is coming from an avid Metal gear solid fan. Sometimes I just start this game up and listen to the main menu theme for a few minutes before playing.

So do yourself a favor and buy this or even just rent it. It tells a great story, multiple endings and ways to approach the game. I promise you that you won't regret it, it's the most refreshing shooter experience in a long while.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Deus Ex: Human Revolution" (2011) is definitely one of the better games i've played upon it's release. Gameplay is great, but the story and screenplay makes this one a "hard to put down" type of experience. Graphics were great at the time, not the best, but great for superb overall experience. As i mentioned, story here is deep, rich, complex and at the same time easy to follow. The only downside of this amazing game were bosses - they were very one note or to be more specific game play with them was just simple yet sometimes very frustrating shoot- em up. Everything else is just superb.

Overall, i highly anticipate for a "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided" (2016) which i will definitely will own, because of how "Deus Ex: Human Revolution" was great. You can take multiple chooses not only in it's game play, but as well as story. Superb, outstanding game overall.

I had no idea that Deux Ex was a first-person-shooter before I installed it. Not only do I think that FPS video games have been done to absolute death, I also believe that they will be the death of video gaming. In fact, it should be illegal to own or produce FPS games from this point onwards.

THEY. ARE. ALL. THE. SAME.

On top of this I find it just a bit disturbing that millions of gamers all over the world take pleasure in sniping so many bad guys. Had I known that Deus Ex was an FPS I would have opted for some cutesy kiddie's game instead. As it was, I was obligated to play through it as I didn't want a trophy count of 0% to tarnish my list. It turns out that the game is actually very imaginative, with a frequently deeply emotional soundtrack, and a lovely neo-noir atmosphere of almost perpetual darkness. The story is important, and political, and will no doubt be a huge controversy when it eventually develops in real life. But the game goes on f-o-r-e-v-e-r. Seriously folks, this is a long, long, loooooooooong game. There are 15 chapters in this story. It should have been 10.

An immersive, political story I can handle, but not as an FPS. Deus Ex is extremely repetitive and many of the levels and environments feature identical architecture and designs. Plus the whole 'Main Quest with multiple Side Quests' concept is getting a bit old now. There's so much potential in Deus Ex: Human Revolution but it's all spoiled the formulaic design.

There is a huge world out there filled with adventure and possibility, to spend a million hours hunting down every last trophy in this game would be tragic. I maxed-out at 52% and I'm happy with that.
