I really go for stories with my games and deus ex does well. Great flow and leveling system, one thing is stores sell really **** things you pretty much find yourself buy only proxy kits at stores. Great music too btw I really liked the soundtrack even downloaded it. I want to note this game is pretty much as stealth only game, you can run and gun but the difficulty being as hard as it is (a good thing I like hard games, even played on hardest setting) pretty much makes you play stealth and silent. Now a bad thing that really gets this game to drop in rating, not only is the combat just okay but the game can be PAINFULLY boring at some point. The beginning is good, but parts of the middle (a good 7 hours) I couldn't even stay awake it was boring as **** That being said the length of this game is great, its around 40 hours (i completed it in 39.) and for the price (19$ on steam) I almost feel bad paying so low. Also should not people that love realistic future this is a must buy for those people.

    In the end im glad I played this game and could see myself doing another playthrough a few months down the line.    … Expand

    A very good game. The gameplay is very good and stays true to the original's. The story may not be as deep as the first game but this is still worth getting definitely.

    I was really tense to play this game. In the beginning, you feel like it is really good! It seems to have a great story, the game play is a lot of fun and the dialogues are maybe not so good as in Mass Effect, but still feel fine. After a while, the game starts to feel quite repetive however. Its ok for the money I bought it, but I would not like to pay the full price for it.

    Gameplay Freedom
    Deus ex is a first person stealth / shooter game, and I say slash because neither of these 2 are forced.

    Gameplay Freedom
    Deus ex is a first person stealth / shooter game, and I say slash because neither of these 2 are forced.
    Deus ex was clearly designed with stealth in mind…
    This is a game where you play as a man who is critically injured early on in the game and wakes up augmented…
    This essentially means he’s part robot…
    These augmentations give you way points on the screen, energy and can be upgraded as you play. Through an xp system to eventually be able to hack higher leveled security panels, be immune to poison gas, have more energy among many other things…
    There are also stealth augments if you choose to play this game stealthily…
    Everything about Deus Ex is so greatly designed…
    You can sneak around cover perfectly, climb through vents to pass patrolling guards…you can create your own cover by moving objects... you can sneak up behind enemies to either put them asleep or take them out for good, one being louder than the other, as well as hide their bodies to not alert everyone..
    You can play through the entire game without killing anyone…
    This game is also greatly designed for aggressive players like me
    so you have the option to play the game as a 3rd person shooter like I did as enemies do all carry weapons and ammo…
    This gives such a great feeling of freedom to truly tackle the game in any way you desire unlike other games that promise this but never truly deliver…
    its delivered here…
    You can peak over cover, and there is a variety of heavy, combat, and compact weapons, all with their own unique feel to them…
    All of this gameplay freedom sounds great but it’s not even the best part of the game…
    Deus Ex Human Revolution is hands down one of the most fleshed out games I’ve played period…
    There are side missions to complete…. Conversations to be had to convince a character to allow you to go inside a building for example, or to prevent a suicide… and not only are there conversations for you as the player, but the characters that inhabit this world all have conversations going on as well…
    Some seemingly random, I never heard the same line of dialog twice, bringing so much life into this world…
    you’ll hear characters on the streets of the handful of cities you visit asking for directions and the locals making fun of them because of the location they ask for… you’ll hear guards and janitors talk about work…
    it’s really perfectly done and other developers need to take note…
    The only downside to this game is ultimately the story…
    It’s the typical bad guys wanting to use technology for bad things story..
    It never really kept my intention or kept me pushing forward, luckily the gameplay is good enough to carry the game on its own.
    I give Deus Ex Human Revolution

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just thought I'd add my 50 bob's worth and....... pow!! Firstly did they use Thunderbirds for the character's motion capture that was poor. Next .. what is with Jensen's voice, it was just so ..... ...... ..... boring, flat, one tone and just simply no emotion. Also considering the fact he just lost the love of his life yeh think the designers may have added something along the lines of a sad face :( . I ended up spacing through about 30% of the game because of the flat line dialogue and ruined what could have been a more imersive experience..that's my moan out of the way. Game play I have to admit was fun simply put. Storyline was interesting(Illuminati, whats not to like), but I felt it was a little stretched out chucking in the side quests and some pointless and predictive exploration to elongate an obvious short storyline.. just felt like there were some things missing. Graphics interior and exterior were nice and clear, though a little to sharp, could have softened and rounded some edges.… Expand

    Parts of the story could have been removed as they felt more as filler. Overall the game was about 23 hours long and they could have made it into 20 and still had a impressive story.
    Gameplay offered the choice of guns blazing or merciful saint, I often found myself trying not to spill blood...which ended in me unloading a hail of gunfire.
    When playing Deus Ex I would highly recommend using a keyboard rather then a game pad. The controls on the gamepad felt clunky and unorganized compared to the keyboard.    … Expand

    Felt nice to play a cyberpunk game that actually understood that the cyberpunk genre is not simply neon lights and sex dolls. Especially one where you have actual choices and consequences that could affect the outcome of your missions. Seriously, there's some 200 IQ moments to be had here, where the game definitely makes you feel smarter than you are. Or on the other hand, makes you feel as dumb as a brick, depending on how you handled the situation.

    Combat wise the game is actually pretty decent but the stealth definitely shines and is borderline amazing, though the occasional horsesh*t AI does hold it back a bit. Still, it's a damn fine game with an interesting story, great immersive sim elements, and a kickass soundtrack. It's just a shame that some d*ckface degenerate decided that boss fights should be added to this. Every time those came up my mouse teetered on the .5 star button. Also since I'm complaining, whoever added **** mines that have a 3,000 foot detection radius and don't come with a disarming tutorial, f*ck you.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of the classics of gaming’s “second golden age” (roughly 2007 – 2013). Story, music, characters, gameplay are all of the highest order. Belongs in the library of every gamer who appreciates story-telling mixed with stealth-action gameplay. Worth the purchase price of $20, but frequently discounts to $5 or less, where it is an incredible bargain.

Belongs in the library of every gamer who appreciates story-telling mixed with stealth-action gameplay. Worth the purchase price of $20, but frequently discounts to $5 or less, where it is an incredible bargain.
    Total size on my hard-drive: 18.2 GB

    The Director’s Cut Edition adds some visual tweaks and re-designed boss-battle environments. The Missing Link DLC is included, folded into the main story campaign.

    + Story with serious themes. Starts with a literal bang and is paced well.
    + Relevant side-quests that can contain important backstory.
    + Choices matter.
    + Voice-acting is excellent.
    + Superb soundtrack by Michael McCann. Synth-orchestral sound with a techno feel at times.
    + Multiple ways to play (with the right upgrades). Stealth? Shooter? Fall safely from any height? Punch walls (discovering new passages)? Up to you. High replayability.
    + Multiple level paths. You’ll end up at the same objective, but there are at least two paths to get there (and there are frequently more).
    + The Director’s Cut features completely revamped boss-battle environments. Stealth builds are now completely legit.
    + Addictive hacking mini-game. It’s over in seconds, too, so it doesn’t slow the gameplay down much.
    + Individual weapons. Decent selection, and they all look and feel unique.
    + Well-optimized, and not resource-intensive. Locked 60fps @1440 on an RX 470 with everything maxed except Depth of Field (which is an effect I dislike, so it was turned off). Back in the day, it played fine on the desktop APU I used to have (using the integrated graphics). If you have a low-spec computer and are looking for a good game to play, Human Revolution should be near the top of your list.

    +/- Not an “open world.” Rather, a few small hub areas that have some side-missions. Allows for more focused level design, but can feel claustrophobic at times.
    +/- The Missing Link DLC is included in the main campaign (right after leaving China for the second time). You lose all of your upgrades once this section of the game begins (though you get them back once this section is complete, PLUS any upgrades you accumulated). Generally, the insertion of the Missing Link DLC slows down the later part of the game, but narratively it makes complete sense. And Commander Burke is a great adversary.
    +/- Graphics are fair. Light-shafts and shadows look great, but skyboxes look low-res and facial expressions are wooden. Edges are jaggy even with anti-aliasing cranked up (down-sampling is the best solution).

    - Mouths frequently don’t sync properly during conversations.
    - UI doesn’t scale properly. The HUD is tiny at 1440p; I can’t imagine it at 4k.
    - Some odd controls with kb + m. Right click and hold to enter cover. Iron sights is a toggle of the middle mouse button.
    - Predictable, stupid enemy AI. Get even a few upgrades, and ghosting levels becomes incredibly easy.

    Even with those few drawbacks, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of the very best stealth / role-playing / action hybrids. It belongs to none of those genres, but takes the best elements of each and adds in an emotional story whose morals exist in planes of grey. A game to play through, reflect upon, and play again. 9/10    … Expand

    One of the best cyberpunk games out there. In fact I think this one the best cyberpunk game since the original Deus Ex which came out in 2000. The gameplay was spectacular and there were very few bugs or glitches that I experienced. Overall I highly recommend this game especially if you are fan of sci-fi like Bladerunner.

Но как только сюжет продвинулся дальше Детройта, то все, побочные задание уменьшились сначала до одного на каждой локации, а после и вовсе пропали. Игра стала типичным шутером с RPG составляющей и линейным прохождением.
    Да игру можно пройти как на таран, так и по стелсу, но это ни на что не влияет. Концовки три, но выбрать какая больше по душе дают игроку, вне зависимости от прохождения. Реиграбельности - 0. Один раз прошел и забыл.
    Назвать данную игру - шедевральным возвращением - никак нельзя. ИГра не плохая, не хорошая. Она никакая. Разрабы решили угодить ею как олдфагам так и ньюфагам, так сказать решили сесть на два стула одновременно, в итоге промахнулись и ударились жопой об пол.
    Касаемо технической части. Тут все не плохо. Но именно не плохо. Графика порадовала. Картинка очень сочная и красивая. Но решение уйти в желтый цвет и яркую цветовую палитру, мне априори не понятна. Это же киберпанк. Почему он такой яркий?
    Управление - хорошее, отзывчивое. Есть пара неудобных моментов, связанных с кроссплатформенностью, но это не очень большой минус. Если абстрагироватся от этого и играть с клава-мыши, как в обычный шутер, то управление порадует.
    Механики и геймплэй. Все довольно хорошо. Есть маленькие придирки каксаемо, опять же кросплатформинга, но серьезного ничего страшного.
    В целом игра вышла нормальная, но из-за желания разрабов и рыбку съесть и на уд сесть, получилась ни хорошой, ни плохой, а просто никакой. 6,5 из 10 не более.    … Expand

There are some small quirks in the story but the universe is so rich, so well studied and fleshed out. Adam as a character, the main NPCs, the backdrop. A world definitely worth visiting and the philosophical questions asked definitely worth pondering upon.

    This game, as written on this site, is a must-have. At its time, it became a hit with an incredibly interesting plot, the atmosphere of cyberpunk, and with a game-play, where it was possible to play the game in different ways depending on the character’s upgrades. Special thanks for a very beautiful soundtrack.

    Definitely worth the deus ex name and it is a great reboot of the franchise. It has the rpg elements though I wouldn't call it an rpg. It is more of an action shooter with augmentations. The story is what gets it to a 10 out of 10. It does have multiple endings with the secret societies like the original which makes it a deus ex.
