Deus Ex: Human Revolution
/Deus Ex: Human Revolution was developed by Edios Montreal and published by Square Enix. It's a 2011 game and is the third game in the Deus Ex series action role-playing games. Set in 2027 (25 years before the first game), it follows Adam Jensen, an ex-swat cop who is recently employed as security officer at Sarif Industries. Adam is badly injured during an attack on Sarif Industries and the only way to keep him alive is to operate his body with artificial limbs and high tech augmentations. (Some hidden and experimental). Throughout the Deus Ex games, you will find themes on how science and technology affect humans mentally and physically and how the power of mega corporations influences and affects the world's social structures. The game also delves into consistory theories.
The story of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided centres around the attack on Sarif Industries and the search for the people or groups responsible. There are also many side quests which can be activated by talking to certain characters that are not part of the main story.
The game has a regenerating health model but you can still use medical supplies to regenerate your health quickly. You can choose to play the game like a first-person shooter and shoot everything in sight or you can take the stealth approach, sneaking around hacking things and taking down the enemy in a non-deadly fashion. You also have a choice of what augmentations you can upgrade to depending on your style of play. You can’t use your augs all the time as they need some time to recharge.
I do like the Deus Ex games a lot. It’s good that you have a choice in the style with which to play. There are many terminals to hack where you can read emails and control the security cameras etc. There are plenty of eBook's and newspapers scattered about as well. The graphics look good in this game at the highest settings and there are plenty of well detailed different locations. Once again, the art design is very interesting. One thing I don’t like about the director’s cut version is the yellow tinge to everything. It must be something to do with the renaissance design. Unfortunately, yellow is not my favourite colour. Also, the game goes for long enough to get your money’s worth and if you choose to play all the side missions there are a few more hours of enjoyment.
I give it 9/10
