Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut (Video Game Review)


Originally released in 2011, Eidos’ acclaimed hit returns with a director’s cut consisting of the improved main game and the original DLC. Playing as professional Batman impersonator Adam Jensen, it is your job to investigate a crime which left you horribly scarred and the kidnapping of your lover. With new revelations at every turn, and political emotions boiling over from the use of cybernetic enhancements, Jensen finds the world is far from a safe or simple place…

Ultimately being a touched up version of the original game, Deus Ex remains a very solid FPS withRPG elements. The art direction, mechanics and plot all worked to a great degree and remain strong points here. The setting, art direction and abilities system are all expertly designed, as are the rewards for scouring through areas for items. You’re normally working with limited supplies, but it’s what you choose to unlock which ultimately works the best. With abilities covering abroad spectrum, you can easily tailor make Jensen to everything from a sneaky hacker to a bullet sponge of a fighter.
