Like a lot of people, I was skeptical when I heard about a new Deus Ex game. The last game, Invisible War, wasn't very good, to say the least. Plus, this new game was made by an all new development team, just formed. Did they have what it took to make a great Deus Ex game? It turns out they did.Deus Ex is about choice, and Human Revolution hits that out of the park. Do you want to sneak past your enemies with a cloaking augmentation after watching your enemies move routes through walls with the eye aug, or do you want to sneak around and pick off each enemy with tranquilizer darts, hiding each body from view like a silent predator? Do you want to augment yourself to be Cyberpunk Rambo? You can. Grab a machine gun and utilize your defense aug, making your skin hardened against bullets. Do you want to be a weird Hulkified dude who's obsessed with throwing fridges and dumpsters at your enemies? Put some points into strength augs. Want to be a hacker and use hostile security terminals, turrets, and robots against your enemy? Done. Like to talk your way out of situations? Invest in the cerebral aug that lets you better read people's expressions, helping you find each conversation's weak points.There is so much choice in this game, and there are so many paths in each level to take, that I think Human Revolution rivals or even surpasses Deus Ex. It's that good. The levels are huge - especially the city hubs where you can talk to various NPCs and get a bunch of sidequests.The gunplay feels nice, the stealth is good (with nice little touches like patrols that turn around and walk backwards for a few moments). The hacking minigame is actually fun and involved, unlike most minigames. It also evolves as the game progresses, becoming more difficult and varied, with more ways to hack as well.It does have a few downsides, though. First, while it has an amazing art direction, the graphics aren't too great. Plus there's some graphical glitches and bugs. But those are pretty small complaints. The good things about this game absolutely dwarf the bad.Everyone should buy and support this game. We need more like it. I don't want to wait another 10 years for a new great Deus Ex game.

My gaming setup: AMD X6 1090xt, Windows 7 Ultimate x64, GTX 480, 256GB RAID 0Crucial M4 for the game partition, 16 GB 1866MHz DDR3.Here's a very brief background of how much time I spent playing the originalDeus:Ex. I beat the game 5 times including once where I just killed 3 targetstotal and used stealth / darts. I loved the original and it's the only gamefor the PC that I've bought twice (the CD got damaged during a move). Withthat in context, I groaned when I heard about this game. DE: Invisible Warwas such a failure that I didn't really expect anything from this game.Then I read the reviews on metacritic and as I don't trust most reviews anymore,I wasn't sure what to think. I figured I'd bite the bullet and play the game andfind out. I started playing the game wanting to prove myself right and wanting tohate the game. That wasn't hard in the first 10-15minutes. The combat system wasnot what I expected (this is during the first action sequence) - the AI shot straightand it didn't take a lot of bullets in "normal" mode to bring you down. My egosatisfied about how I was right about this game being "meh", I figured I'd play fora little longer and then the spirit of the original Deus Ex showed itself.I kept playing for 5 hours and was completely hooked. I was wrong about myassumption but I didn't care. I didn't even care for the main story-line at one point.Oh "steal stuff from morgue?" I'll get to it. I love exploration and side-quests andthere's plenty of that. There's innovating hacking that rewards you for taking risks.The game environment is pretty well done although not as good as the original DE. Theinterface for weapons/quests/map is a well-designed one. You make choices and they haveconsequences. They really do. There are also lots of references to the earlier gameand to general humor (Nigerian email scam for e.g.,).Combat seemed a little off as if the developers intentionally want you to use assaultas a last resort. The game rewards you for finding hidden passages in general. You getrewarded for merciful takedowns where you don't kill your enemies. You get rewarded ifno one spots you when you are on objectives where you walk into enemy dens. You arerewarded if you trigger no alarms during an objective (or quest). Rewards are usuallyXP, money, hacking tools. Maybe I need to get better with cover but this isn't Gears of War!I didn't pay a lot of attention to the music which means it didn't annoy me. I was nothappy with the graphics in general. There are plenty of graphical glitches- some hardto spot, some obvious but they don't really detract anything from the gameplay. The engineseems to be outdated (probably explains the low hardware requirements) and graphics aren'tas shiny as trailers / screenshots led you to believe. The controls have a console-ish feelto them. The fact you have to hold / tap a key to achieve different results is disappointing.This is the PC for crying out loud - let us assign different keys if we want to.Yes, this game requires Steam. Yes, you can quick save and quick load using F5 and F8respectively. Saving is really fast but loading takes too long (the game is installedon a RAID0 128GB Crucial M4 SSD set) and load times get progressively worse the longeryou keep playing the game. This is ironic and annoying because it's hard to stop playing.Poor memory management? Please patch :(. I got about 3 hours of sleep last night.To summarize...Pros:+ Excellent gameplay, improves on many (not all) game elements from the original+ Innovative rewards for taking additional risks during gameplay+ Open sandbox style gameplay with a good number of side quests and exploration opportunities+ Plenty of replayability / replay value in this game+ Decent AUG tree / advancement system (see Cons)Cons:- Graphics are disappointing. I wasn't expecting a Crysis but the engine looks old and the glitches don't help- AI suspicious / warning system feels half-baked- The character advancement system feels inferior compared to the original Deus Ex (it's an RPG!)- Gun combat is disappointingly weak and badly done (despite the "take cover" idea)Other thoughts:* Not sure why every female model in the game is busty - the way of the future? AUG implants? (harr harr)* The futuristic cars/bicycles look silly at best but I guess cyberpunk is forgiving to a large extentIn conclusion, I was going to give this game 4 stars but with the amount of time andenjoyment I'll get from this game, I might as well be honest with myself. This game isnothing like the original but comes close enough. I know several years from now I'll pickup a copy of Deus Ex to play again because that game was/is a cult classic. HumanRevolution probably won't make it to that category but is a strong contender for Gameof the Year 2011.Update: The long loading times is now patched. The other thing I wanted to add is that the bossfights can be really annoying to begin with. The first boss isn't walk in the park and can be veryannoying since you don't have a lot of augments and if you are like me, all your advancement isin hacking and you carry around a tranquilizer rifle. That won't help against bosses where youneed a minimum amount of firepower. So be ready for a good amount of headache against boss-fightsat least in the first few hours...

Deus-Ex Human Revolution is a brilliant game. While it borrows minor elements from recent titles such as the metal gear series, there is nothing here that feels like it is an outright rip-off; the biggest influences are from the original game. DE:HR sticks to time-tested role-playing and story-telling mechanics but delivers an experience that feels fresh. As a result, the game feels unique among the increasingly competitive single player role-playing landscape.STORY AND SETTINGI've spent about 29 hours with the game, and yet I honestly don't think I'm near the end. I'm probably through the half-way point and it feels like there is a third or a quarter left to go. Through it all, the story is consistently brilliant and will hook you in from the opening chapter. Decisions carry weight, and can take you into widely branching paths.If you are fond of delving deep into the `lore' of the world like I am, then you will be busy indeed as there is plenty to read. There are detailed articles about numerous topics ranging from politics & economics to the environment & technology. All of these well-written pieces flesh out a game world that feels very much plausible. I won't be giving away specific details about the plot, but there are several twists and turns throughout.GAMEPLAYChoices. That's all you need to know. The game offers numerous ways to approach a given situation and each approach feels consistently rewarding. Want to jump down from a five story building and unleash a deadly hail of miniature explosives? Go ahead. Want to avoid a fight altogether and sneak around the group? That's certainly viable. Want to sneak, but still take down enemies 1 or 2 at a time? You can do that tooHowever, the effectiveness of each approach depends on how you progress your character. In the early levels, spend some time thinking about the style of gameplay that you prefer and then allocate the valuable praxis points used to upgrade/unlock your augmentations accordingly (a linear progression of 5000 XP nets you a new praxis point).In my opinion, the stealth approach is the best way to experience the game. Sneaking is tense yet fun and involves a mix of exploration and hacking. Nothing quite as fun as hacking into a robot and watching it take down another robot. I'm proud to report a 0 body count (not counting a couple of bosses, where killing them is the only way through).The hacking mini-game is fun but may be a little too frequent in certain areas. When compared to the rubbish mini-games in the likes mass effect and Dead Space 2, this is the best of the bunch as it requires actual strategy and not just a twitch-based response.GRAPHICS AND DESIGN PHILOSOPHYThe art direction in Deus Ex is refreshing and unique. The design team has crafted a world with a very unique and clear visual identity. Environments do not feel recycled unlike some recent RPGs. A two-tiered city in China has a distinctly Chinese vibe, while Detroit has a proper mix of industry and futurism. The hubs aren't gargantuan, but they are big enough that exploring them feels rewarding. This is largely because the levels aren't linear. There are hidden rooms and a great sense of verticality (esp. in China).However, the graphics feel like they are a generation behind. There are some nice DX 11 effects peppered here and there, but the game doesn't look like a solid DX 11 game ought to. The character models (esp the faces) can look awfully rigid and blocky. Combined with awkward animations and some shoddy texture-work, the visuals are the biggest drawback to an otherwise stellar experience. Also, the same fleur des lis motif is a little too prevalent. In all fairness though, the gameplay and story is so good that you really won't care about the game's looks.SOUND DESIGNThe sound effects are well done. Guns sound and feel right. The music is perfectly in tune with the setting. The voice acting is largely A-grade. The lead actor, in particular, stands out as he nails Adam Jensen's lone-wolfish persona.OTHER THOUGHTSAfter a decade+ absence, Deus Ex is back in a big way (pretend the second one never happened). I didn't think this game was ever going to come out. Given that the first teaser appeared in 2007, and then everything went dark until 2010, this was a common feeling shared by many. I am glad that I was wrong. Moreover, I have a newfound respect for the team at Eidos Montreal who have resurrected this franchise. I am very excited to see what they do with Thief 4 and will be lining up for pre-orders when the time comes.
