    On tentera de passer rapidement sur ce qui fâche (plus ou moins prodigieusement, c'est selon...) comme ces boss, ces putains de boss mis en scène à la MGS (une horreur...) et ce grand final bien lourdingue et bien crispant (encore un autre boss bien con, décidément !) ainsi que le scénario un peu confus et globalement un tantinet merdique...

    Ces griefs ayant été formulés, force est de constater que le jeu est fort bien réalisé, la VF est excellente (premier Deus Ex à être entièrement doublé...) et la musique tout-à-fait plaisante. L'interface et le maniement sont très bien pensés (le système de couverture est un ajout intéressant par exemple) et l'ambiance est fidèle aux deux premiers Deux Ex mais avec une (très agréable) palette de couleurs à la Blade Runner.

    Malgré ses accrocs, c'est une suite (ou plutôt un reboot !) qui peut se jouer en infiltration sur tout de même une très grosse partie du jeu. Mais après toutes ces années, avoir ressorti cette série du placard était une bonne idée mais encore hélas un coup d'essai : pour le coup de maître, il faudra se tourner vers l'autre suite, le Deus Ex Mankind Divided qui lui est définitivement très supérieur.    … Expand

While your main character Adam Jensen is a bit of an impersonal shell, it provides the ability for the big questions and intrigue to happen to the great characters around him. The story is convoluted, but starts making a ton more sense after several hours. The sense of adventure and environment and choices on how to navigate feels great, and the leveling system is fantastic as you learn that you won't be able to level up everything, so everyone will end up playing the game a bit different. They did miss a sense of balance with some of the powers seeming essential or pretty useless but that's easy to overlook.

    In the end, this game is propelled by a solid, compelling story, good side characters, great abilities and a fleshed out stealth system, and most of all, fascinating and meaningful philosophical substance that very few games can get right.    … Expand

    -El reparto de personajes no es del todo brillante. Jensen es aquí un personaje con historia detrás, pero a la hora de la verdad es un avatar del jugador, cosa que le resta carisma y menos capacidad de empatizar.
    -Hay diálogos que pierden el interés del hilo por no estar del todo bien escritos.
    -la inclusión de jefes finales a veces puede provocar frustración, en función de los aumentos escogidos.
    -Las distintas opciones que ofrece están a mano del jugador para que sean o no variadas. Esto realmente no es malo, depende de la persona y lo creativa que quiera ser jugando.

    No obstante, un juego muy sóldo, con muchas posibilidades y una visión genial del Cyberpunk.    … Expand

Customizable skill tree according to the way you want to play (stealth or Rambo). There are situations in history that can be solved with charisma or using endocrines or detecting lies (as long as you have the improvements). Here too "not everything is as it seems." AI is very advanced and enemies also have access to the improvements that you, such as "Rino skin" or "thermal vision", so they invite you to be creative using the environment and your skills. It is backward compatible and improves a certain part in Shanghai where the Lasers directly thundered the Xbox 360. Three different endings. Moral decisions. This game will surprise you in a good way and it will blow your mind when you play it and pass it

    The bad: a part of the story (The missing Link was DLC). In stealth mode it seems that you go to "decal" mode. The game at the beginning is very slow (there is much more after Detroit). Difficult achievements (Pacifist and The most cunning deaf). In certain parts the AI ​​hits a huge jump and frustrates a lot. The normal version (not the Directors Cut) is confronted with bosses who are sooo anti-climatic, especially if you carry stealth weapons because you're not going to tickle them. There is a very damn decision that will **** your game.

    The Meh !: when many listen to stealth the first thing they think is in the games of "the most solid of snakes". Many did not like the first person view. Many get carried away thinking that it is a shooting game more, but no.    … Expand

    More importantly the game seems to reward those players who prefer a non-lethal approach rather than the brain-dead call of duty playstyle, in spite the fact the game itself gives you the option to use a bombastic approach.
    The problems of the game are the obligatory Boss fight and the stats modifiers which break the exquisite skill-based tactical action game that this Deus Ex should be.    … Expand

    In terms of immersive sim games, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is among the best I've ever played so far. It's a fantastic first-person RPG set in a dark and grim "Bladerunner-esque" environment. The game takes place in a series of semi-open world environments that are well optimized and are only as big as they need to be, so they cut down on tedious commuting within the game. Human RevolutionIn terms of immersive sim games, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is among the best I've ever played so far. It's a fantastic first-person RPG set in a dark and grim "Bladerunner-esque" environment. The game takes place in a series of semi-open world environments that are well optimized and are only as big as they need to be, so they cut down on tedious commuting within the game. Human Revolution also provides and enormous amount of freedom to the player, allowing them to tackle main missions and side quests however they choose

    The game's combat mechanics are spot on. Shooting feels really powerful, the guns sound great and even on "normal" mode, the combat can provide a meaty challenge. You can only take a few shots before your die. Your guns hurt, their guns hurt, it's all good.

    The game also implements a cover-based shooting mechanic where the camera switches to more of a third-person view. This is extremely helpful if you choose to approach the game in a more stealthy way, rather than a frontal assault. You can move from one cover spot to another in order to stealth around enemy targets and even bypass them all together if you choose to do so. There's also lethal and non-lethal pre-animated take down moves that look awesome and are incredibly fun to pull off.

    The game's plot is pretty hefty and can easily provide 30-40 hours of gameplay. The game centres primarily around Transhumanism and how it's the way of the future for humanity. On my initial play through, I didn't really mind this as a central theme since it seemed cool enough. It was only on my second and third play through where I started to pay more attention to some of the dialogue and flavour text that you can read via emails and ebooks. The game briefly explores some interesting topics and it made me wish Human Revolution expanded on these ideas even more, such as predicting the U.S. oil crash of 2015 (a good guess, even though it was wrong), China emerging as an economic superpower over the U.S. and geopolitical shifts in Europe, among other things. If Human Revolution expanded on these topics, while slightly dialling back the focus on augmentations, then this game really could've painted a striking picture as to where humanity is headed in the future. This would've made Human Revolution my dream game.

    My only major gripe with this game is the ending: there's up to four possible ones and they're all really lacklustre. You essentially approach a giant computer and you pick your own ending. Which ever one you pick ends the game with stock video footage that has barely anything to do with the game and with a voice over narration as to why that choice is the right one.

    Overall, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a fantastic game. I've easily sunk over 90 hours into the base game alone and it's all been fun. Full recommendation!    … Expand

    I feel like this is a game which when it came out in 2011...not many people saw the appeal behind it and I got to ask myself...well why? It is a shame because I think personally if more people gave this game a chance (and its sequel) then it may become somewhat of a cult classic (like the original Deus Ex games on PC)

    That is not to say this game has its flaws because I do feel like it does. For me personally, my personal biggest gripe with this game was its control scheme. I dont know if it was due to me being a bit younger when I played it originally or due to me playing it on Xbox 360? But looking past that, This game has alot to offer.

    Gameplay itself is very clever as it gives you the option in a number of areas to either go stealthy or go in guns blazing. The latter not being the best option but a option there nether the less. It is a nice twist and the fact that is a RPG and gives you the options to tune the character to how you want to play just adds to the charm.

    Story/Visuals wise isn't too bad. Story is a interesting concept but I think considering how much freedom you get given to play how you want to play, I think they could of personally injected that into the story JUST A TAD bit more. But that is me being nitpicky now.

    In conclusion the game itself is a nice RPG. Has a lot of player choice/freedom which elevates it higher than some other games in this genre but those controls for me at least caused me to have some doubt.    … Expand

    A hybrid of FPS, sandbox and RPG styles in this Blade Runner-esque story about augmented humans. It feels a lot less original than the first game and although there's nothing terribly wrong with it, it never feels particularly special either. A decent enough game, but the Mass Effect series does something similar and does it much better.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution lives up to the lofty expectations of the Deus Ex name. Beyond that, it's a superb game in its own right.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution has happily been worth the wait and is a game that can hold its head up high next to the first game. Jensen isn't the most charismatic character, and the story is a tad patchy in places, but the game's world and its characters more than make up for it. Deus Ex: Human Revolution heralds the arrival of the cyber-renaissance, and it's pure gold.

    Deus EX Human Revolution has been one of the more entertaining games I have played this year so far. Filled with a gripping story, interesting characters, and addictive game play Deus Ex is a game that would be a worthy addition to any collection. Fans of action or RPG games should find a lot of value in this retail title.
