Oct 22, 2011Polished enough to be released as a stand-alone package, The Missing Link hits all the right notes and delivers more of everything that made Human Revolution such a standout title.

PSM3 Magazine UKNov 13, 2011A great new setting. [Dec 2011, p.110]
-
Nov 14, 2011With a possible duration of four to six hours depending on the interest in completing the side missions, The Missing Link is a good option to extend the experience of those who have completed the main quest.
-
Oct 18, 2011It presents a stiff challenge and a great sub-plot alongside the opportunity to experiment with a different playstyle, branching out from what you may have done before. The repetition and the rather light runtime prevent it from being an essential purchase, but there's still a lot to love here, especially for experienced players.

Oct 15, 2011Five hours of play more intense than usual in Human Revolution. The Missing Link forces us to start from scratch to Adam Jensen, with new equipment and extreme situations in the BellTower freighter. All the answers to many questions that left the original game, and pure entertainment. A great DLC.
-
Oct 19, 2011It's a good chance to spend some 4/5 hours with Jensen and all the cyberpunk atmosphere the fan love, yet the price is way over the top.
-
Nov 16, 2011The Missing Link is a good addition to Deus Ex: Human Revolution but has some lesser moments as well. The first half of the game is simply great, after that you'll be running from A to B in places you've visited before, making it kinda dull. Nevertheless The Missing Link can be a lot of fun because it combines all the aspects that made the Deus Ex franchise so great.
-
Nov 11, 2011If you've just got to have more Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The Missing Link is more than worth its $15 asking price. If you really enjoyed this year's stealth-action RPG hybrid, you might want to wait for the desire to playthrough the game again or for the DLC to go on sale. Otherwise, The Missing Link could have stayed missing.
-
Oct 21, 2011I can recommend that you pick up The Missing Link if you really, really want to spend more time with Adam Jensen, but know that it's not a particularly good DLC add-on - especially for fifteen bucks.

Oct 14, 2011This first DLC for Human Revolution leaves us with a mixed feeling. On one hand, it's a very nice invitation to further dive into the formidable world of the game (both in stealth or rampage mode). On the other, we can't really say it brings anything new to the table, and the environment is quite tight, with some areas needed to be crossed back and forth. It also suffers from the same technical issues than the original, but it still is worth experiencing, and offers 6-7 hours of play with a nice boss ending (finally one you can approach in several different ways), and a storyline that will teach you who the real Belltower is.
