    Now that's what I call a real DLC. Brand new location, new storyline, more deus ex gameplay. The augmentations are reset, so it's harder playing without them at the beginning, but you can build new specialities than in the base game.

    Missing Link was fantastic, don't get me wrong. My main complaint: It was too short for the price tag. I love that the conspiracy thickens, and I look forward to even more DLC, I just hope the price tag isn't 15 bucks a pop. I just looked on my Steam account and Dues Ex: HR I've played for 90 hours, Missing Link: 12 hours. I love the new missions but would have rather release on thisMissing Link was fantastic, don't get me wrong. My main complaint: It was too short for the price tag.

    A bit pricey for its length, but a fun DLC none the less. It adds some story in between the the area right before the final area and the final area. Also you don't have to install the full game to play this which is really convenient. My favorite part about it is that it came out right when I was craving to replay Deus Ex lol 8/10

    Awesome DLC... If you loved Deus Ex: Human Revolution you will love this DLC. Don't listen to malau's review... he must be on drugs or something... The game is full of life, graphics are pretty good... yeah they aren't crysis 2 w/ updated graphics patch and high resolution pack, but who cares?

    This DLC adds to the Deus Ex story and lore. It plays just a bit harder than the game itself, which is probably appropriate. Lots of little easter eggs, and a visit or two from characters you might remember from other Deus Ex venues. No new weapons or augs, but some interesting dilemmas and achievements, including one where you use no weapons or augs! Some improvements to the engineThis DLC adds to the Deus Ex story and lore.

    Awesome DLC, that clearly shows that developers lacked time for the main game release. This makes the fact that the DLC is too short even more frustrating. That's more what I thought of, when I was thinking of a Deus Ex sequel. So, it rate it nine, ten minus one, for its duration.

    For $15, you get an extra 4-6 hours of gameplay.

    Might sound like a bit much, but compared to $15 for a few new multiplayer maps in games like Call of Duty, this DLC is a diamond amongst a sea of **** If you enjoyed the core game, then give this a shot.

    This games as good as human revolution except that its far to short, but thats why its cheaper. umm not much to say other than its the same as the original game its just not as long...15 bucks? well ya, beats a case of beer (i got it on a Steam deal for like 2 bucks). If you loved DXHR then you should definately get this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best DLC I've ever seen -- they fill a gap that wasn't too important in the storyline with something clever and brand-new, still managing to contribute to the overall story while standing alone as its own game; you get to play around with a bunch of praxis to start off with, meaning it's more likely that I'll playthrough again instead of building up all this time for a single point. Also, you actually get to choose how to kill the boss, unlike in the main game. My main (probably my only) complaint with HR was that you had to blast the heck out of every single boss. There was no room for creativity or strategy, or for all those praxis you spent on stealth and silence. This DLC is fantastic -- especially if you're looking for a shorter RPG, still with a bunch of secrets and extras to make you want to do it again and again. In addition, it was longer than I expected for a DLC. Perhaps a tad overpriced, but I bought it on sale and it was worth every penny.… Expand

    I absolutely love it. Great story, fantastic atmosphere. I can see that a lot of negative critics come from the pricing model - well, I bought it on Christmas/New Year discount for â

    I have got to say about this DLC release has brought me attention. It's best DLC I have downloaded so far. This story are more understandable where he were missing for three days in main game. Some people complained this is overpriced and worth four hours game play. I have got to say, they are wrong, the price is seem right and I played this game from being to end is 10 hours, not 4.

    Don't know why this is rated below 8 perhaps as a DLC gamers would have higher expectations. Much more basic story line of course, but still a challenge requiring great stealth and strategy. For the price you can't go wrong just to get a little more of this intriguing character.

    Great DLC: more Deus Ex, but just quite short gameplay. With discount tag very worth of money :) This really fits to main game and adds value to it also.

    A disjointed approach to play harms The Missing Link's value to Human Revolution's main story arc.

    The Missing Link complements Adam's story from the Human Revolution and on the other hand adds some new challenges. At times it even surpasses the original. [December 2011, p.97]

    More boring than the core game, but a worthy effort compared to other games' DLCs. [December 2011, p.87]
