![]() ![]() Even if Jensen is now augmented beyond his wildest dreams, he's still human and his enemies will always make sure he remembers it.Īs such, he's quite vulnerable, especially given the inhuman accuracy of his opponents, so stealth is one of the best strategies in the whole game, even if you don't waste any of the special Praxis Points to upgrade the ability. ![]() Human Revolution is no different, in fact it prefers to make gamers use stealth in almost all situations. While it doesn't have the twists and turns of the original Deus Ex, Human Revolution more than lives up to its legacy.ĭeus Ex: Human Revolution is centered around four basic gameplay aspects, Stealth, Social, Hacking and Combat, each offering a great experience, and, when combined, result in a game you won't forget soon.įirst up, stealth has always been staple of Deus Ex, largely because it always allowed players to avoid fights if they're clever enough and know how to read environments, enemies and use all their skills instead of their actual weapons. ![]() The story is pretty good, managing to surprise in quite a few moments, and, like I've said, gradually exposes the player to new plots and layers of narrative, never piling on more than is necessary to keep it going. With each new territory, the plot thickens and Jensen soon realizes that nothing is as it seems to be and that pretty much every character he meets lies about something. ![]() Now, with Adam more machine than human, the player needs to uncover the truth behind the attack, a quest that takes him from his native Detroit, to Hengsha (Shanghai), Montreal or other parts of the world. Sarif Industries is attacked by augmented mercenaries, which kill Megan Reed, and almost eliminate Jensen himself, who is saved at the last moment by the company through a huge amount of augmentations.

You play as Adam Jensen, a former SWAT member who now is in charge of security for Sarif Industries, one of the world's biggest human augmentation corporations, in which your former wife, Megan Reed, leads the main bulk of the research. Human Revolution takes a bit more streamlined approach, starting out in a simple way and then introducing more and more elements in order to make the plot worthy of a Deus Ex title. The original Deus Ex had a vast and, let's admit it, sometimes convoluted storyline with plot threads diverging at some points only to converge in others, ultimately leading to one of the various endings dictated by the player. So, does it manage to respect the first two Deus Ex games or should it be erased from the franchise's history? Let's find out.

Few video game franchises command such a large cult appeal like Deus Ex, which managed to impress legions of role-playing fans back in 2000, with its great gameplay, variety of missions and, most of all, because you could play it in a variety of ways, from a stealthy, non-combatant, to a big, hulking killing machine. ![]()
