Deus Ex: Human Revolution reviews and comments
Interesting hubs full of content and ways to interact, a great upgrade system, multiple ways to solve every situation and a really good story.
The immersive sim genre doesn't get a lot of love, despite "play your way" becoming an increasingly popular mantra across all AAA games. Deus Ex takes the design philosophy of immersive sims and runs with it, creating a mostly believable immersive experience. Some enemy AI is questionable, and bossfights generally fucked up the pacing, but overall it stays on point with giving you options and an interesting world to soak in.
Gameplay: I can't comment on HR as a shooter, but as a stealth game, it's great. I never felt treated unfairly and constantly felt like I was being challenged by new scenarios. Plenty of options for lethal and nonlethal players. All augments felt useful and rewarding. Some side quests dragged a bit, but most were interesting enough.
Story and world building: unparalleled in today's gaming landscape. For 2011, it was an eerily accurate look into our future, with plenty of real world parallels. Every locale has it's own personality, and the big picture themes are relevant and thought provoking.
I'd recommend Human Revolution to fans of the Immersive Sim genre, stealth games, and cyberpunk media. Be warned, Deus Ex doesn't hold you hand and you will need to pay attention and play carefully.
To be honest, I'm not one, who easyly gives up on a game. I really gave Deus Ex: Human Revolution every chance, but evena after a half year break, because I couldn't stand it anymore, I have quite the trouble finishing it without instandly quitting and uninstalling it.
I really would like to like this game, but I can't. I simply can't.
2/5
I Recommend this game for anyone who likes stealth or rpg or action game or game where you can chose your own way in the story
