For want of more eloquent words, what we have here is a role-playing, first / third-person shooter / stealth (or RPGFTPSS, if you like), however once you’ve dived into its depths you realise it is much greater than the sum of all these parts. For a game based on drawing you into its world all these elements superbly entwine to create a fictional future you can believe in.Human Revolution is filled with short, stunning, FMV sequencesThe gameplay, fortunately, holds many similarities to the original (on which you can read my recent retrospective review here) however there are some key differences. Fans of the original will be pleased to hear that the level of in-game text has not been diminished in the face of the current trend of casual dumbing down for consoles – littered around the maps are papers, e-books and ‘pocket secretaries’ filled with text that outline how the globe has changed. Everything, from the detailed maps to the fashion of the characters and citizens oozes an elegance rarely seen in any game before.
In a rather horrific attack on the company, which acts as a very classy introduction to the games mechanics, you are injured beyond the repair of ordinary medical science and only the installation of a whole body of augmentations can save you.This near future cyberpunk setting provides a beautiful and stylish backdrop for the game. You play the role of Adam Jenson, chief security agent for one of the largest firms involved in these mechanical augmentations. Full augmentations of the human body have been developed and are starting to change the boundaries of humanity leading to conflict and division in society. Human Revolution, developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix is a prequel to the original series. I mention these games for a reason as you can see how they, along with the ideas of the original, have bred Deus Ex: Human Revolution into something else entirely. In that time we’ve seen luminary games released such as Splinter Cell, Gears of War, Oblivion, Bioshock, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Mass Effect. But, the gaming world has changed in the years since the original Deus Ex was released eleven years ago, as well as the sequel The Invisible War three years later. It demands prestige as well as characteristics that you would be certain to expect – Choice, Consequences and Conspiracy to name just a few. The name holds a strong pedigree in the gaming world. Can Eidos and Square Enix breathe life back into this much loved gaming series?ĭeus Ex.
