Deus Ex: Human Revolution

While Deus Ex: Human Revolution can't be the revelation that Deus Ex was in 2000, it's an achievement nonetheless. It's a visionary, considered piece of work, and while my thoughts drift to the things that could have been and the compromises made due to the possibilities of video games in 2011, they're just as quick to consider playing through it again. Human Revolution is a smart, rewarding piece...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is reminiscent of the best efforts from the golden era of PC gaming at the end of the 90s.

Few people believed it could work, but it did. The debuting studio gave the world a game that, when confronted with its cult original, comes out unscathed. What captivated us about Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

Pushed on by a concept that is ambitious in this day and age of cookie cutter first person shooters, Deus Ex manages to shine because of its differences rather than its similarities.

We check out the console versions of the return of Deus Ex and see how it stacks up in this supplementary review.

We may have asked for better boss fights, but its doubtful anyone wanted tablet gimmicks or an English language audio commentary recorded by French Canadians. RPGamers can't win them all, even by the year 2027. Put on your trench coat and find a conspiracy...again.

So, if you haven’t bought it yet and were waiting for this definitive (re: rambling) reaction, consider yourself authoritatively told: buy it. Unless you’re allergic to the colour yellow.
