I haven’t played any of the previous Deus ex games so I was new to the concept but despite knowing next to nothing about the history of the world Deus ex’s story reeled me in and refused to let go until the credits rolled.
The story to human revolution is one of its greatest attributes. You are Adam Jenson a security guard for Sarif industries which is one of the leading forces in the science of human augmentation. Shortly after starting the game the company is under attack and you are fatally injured and receive augmentations and are sent out on a quest to find the scientists who were abducted during the raid. Along the way you will visit China, Singapore, Montreal and your home town of Detroit as you find clues to ultimately lead you to the final stages of the story. The ending is very good with some tough decisions to make which can ultimately affect the entire world saving augments or damming them. And not one is correct there is no good and bad ending all have their strong and weak points.
The gameplay for human revolution is difficult to explain as everyone will have a slightly different experience, you can chose to shoot your way through encounters, and buying augments to sit that style such as the Typhoon. Or you can chose to sneak your way through situations finding vents, hacking into terminals to shut down robots and buying stealth augments such as cloak or upgrading your hacking skills. Another is in certain circumstances you will be given the option to talk your way into certain area for example you have to retrieve something from a police station you can talk to the guard on duty to persuade him to let you in saving a lot of time sneaking for shooting. All methods feel balanced and have good attributes and bad.
The graphics in human revolution are as follows. Amazing. There is so much detail in the backgrounds and character models if the faces don’t always sync up with the voice. Plus the yellow tinge makes the cities feel more realistic and gritty they aren’t clean and beautiful most of the time you will be walking by hobo's sheltering by a small fire.
The sound to the game is fantastic the music fits the mood of the game perfectly with a dramatic feel to them. The voice acting is also very well done if the script is sometimes a bit off.
A good follow up for the first Deus ex has been a long time coming but it’s finally here so if you are at all not sure on this game take my word for it you will love it, it blends stealth and action perfectly and is fun. And allot of reviews don’t like the boss fights but they weren’t that hard and I found them alright and I was playing stealth. This game deserves a 10/10.
