Let me begin with I am NOT a first person shooter aficionado, as I am pretty much mouse handicapped. That said, Deus Ex holds a special place in my gaming life - I really liked the original, and have enjoyed this prequel immensely. If you can catch it on sale ($20 or less) it's well worth it, and should give you ~40 hours of entertainment. I have not replayed it yet, so the replayability may not be as high, but it is a lot of fun.

A very good game. That sums it down quite a bit. The music is really great, the new soundtrack adn some remixed versions from the original Deus ex game. The graphics look well done, and is very much orange (you hate orange then you might have some problems). The options are great, a really good PC game setting (Considering this was made for consoles).

Gameplay wise is great but with a few annoyance. The Combat run really smooth, nice variety of guns, mines, and grenades, but... The melee is horrible... hate to say it but it is. There are no melee weapons to use, You simply press or hold a key(Knock unconscious or kill) and you get a small cinematic scene and a wasted battery(The power you need to use some augments). The story line, wonderful it makes sense and goes through quite well for a prequel to the original Deus ex. You also have a good selection of augments but not as much as the original. Health system... is a regular health bar, something that might be annoy to the gamers who liked the original way of each limb having a separate body part. Buit over all a really well made game and Worth the buy if you're a old deus ex gamer or new to the series. (Newbies buy the original deus ex, avoid invisble war, to make it worthwhile.)

One of the BEST games of the year without a doubt. Great graphics, deep story and lots of character customization options. Dont hesitate!

This is how games used to be, and how games should of stayed, long enjoyable singleplayer campaigns with deep and immersive stories and massively varied and fun gameplay.

This game is worth every cent of its full price. There is no reason to why you should not have it.

It took me 23 hours to play the game from start to finish, taking time to have fun and enjoy its amazing story, and I want to do another 23 hours again to do things differently, almost no games make me want to do that!

The gameplay is fantastic, there are *so* many ways to do each encounter, and the next encounter always allows you do to it in yet another way. I never got bored.

The story is one of the best, there are multiple endings to the game and each one is amazing.

This game is currently my second favourite game of all time. :D

10/10

This is one of the best games I have ever played.

It's an action and stealth FPS with TPS cover system and with RPG elements.

Also, the game features some freedom of movement in large areas for questing, the missions can be solved in several ways, using the customizable abilities tree in different ways.

The story is very cool and inmersive, the gameplay is great, and the ambient is beatiful in most parts.

There are multiple conversation choices but not a moral system like others RPGs, the conversation choices are there for persuation, for choosing ways to solve the missions and for see what happens only for fun.

I prefer action than stealth, but I liked this game so much, even more than the GOTY Mass Effect 2.

I never played the first Deus Ex (it's too dark for me), so I'm not comparing Deus Ex: HR with Deus Ex.

Having played Deus Ex: Invisible War, my hopes were not high for this title. "Oh God, what is this canned 3rd-person animation, and this cover system, oh no, they're going to screw it up...".

However, once I actually got into the gameplay, I realized just how in-depth and utterly blinding this game actually is. There are hidden items literally everywhere, and most of the time when you approached an objective, you weren't forced to go a specific way. There are so many references to the original game, such as soundtracks and some guy going on about the Gray Death in the original game. If you haven't played the original, you're doing it wrong, go buy the original.

The cover system I could live with, that was okay. The guns are diverse and you have many options in conversation, loadout, the path you take, and the augments you get. In HR, they mixed the skills system and the augments system. However, speaking of the augments system, I feel that this was very power-gameish. Supposedly you couldn't get every augment in the game - yeah, you could. Very easily, in fact, and that made re-playing it rather unappealing for me. The boss battles in the game are forced and you have to kill them, unlike the original, where they weren't, as well as the fact that you could go through the game without actively killing a single person (actively meaning not while in conversations or cutscenes). You could also beat the original with JUST a pistol. In this game, you can't really do that without running out of ammo extremely quickly.

In conclusion, this game is well worth your purchase. It wasn't a full-priced release on launch, and even then it continuously goes on sale (like, ridiculously large amounts of sales for it), and it will keep you going on until you hit the end, wanting even more of it. I know I did. This game is worthy of the name Deus Ex; it's not better than Deus Ex, but it comes real close.

Although I wished the Augmentation tree featured much more diverse paths to take, as well as a tougher difficulty in obtaining praxis points as you will have almost everything, if not everything, augmented well before the end boss fight, Deus Ex Human Revolution is smooth and fun. The action and cut scenes are well done as well as the enemies. Hopefully the next one ignores the cliches of human vs augmented human and illuminati that are cut and pasted from earlier Deus Ex games instead of lovingly referenced. Despite the little irritations, Deus Ex is a solidly entertaining game that contrary to many game releases over the past five years was a fully finished and articulated game.

Amazingly good game from a surprising source. Who would've thought that this reboot/prequel to the beloved Deus Ex would not only be good, but would in some ways, actually outdo the original?

Had a great time with this one. Initially, I took upgrades to stealth, which became crippling at several of the boss fights. The level design, progression, writing were all very strong. Cover system, also brilliant, emulating a 'hold' style similar to rainbow six vegas. A more superior combat/rpg than any of the mass effects.

This is a fantastic First Person Shooter with a play-it-how-you-want style. You can choose to play it as a stealth game, a combat game, you can persuade people, or hack turrets to turn them on your enemies. Every part of the game is fully fleshed out,and none of the playstyles feel restricted. In my playthrough I went with a non-lethal stealth/hacker hybrid, and it was tons of fun. The one drawback are the boss fights, which appear to be designed only for combat. Overall though, the game is just incredibly fun and I highly recommend it.

Fun game, those who liked Splinter Cell series and also the older Deus Ex, will really love this game. Stealth in and take out your enemies silently or just stealth past them without killing anything, or you could go all out shooter and shoot your way through everything.

One of the best games I ever played, without rushing through the first playthrough took me around 25 hours, and trying to beat the game now without any alerts totally different feel!

Really fun game. great story, awesome gameplay, only bad thing is the forced boss battles,(sucks on a non lethal character)

Except for the boss battles, worth every penny

The original Deus Ex, when it still was for PC only, was one of my favorite games. Freedom to interact with the world, keep your pace, and – more importantly, no horrific and game-breaking ‘cinematic experiences’. I don’t know what is going on with developers these days, it seems that unless you waste millions of dollars in making sequences coming from a movie, your game is not good. And of course, given the reaction of so many people, they are right. People like graphic and cheesy narrative more than the gaming experience. So, after Deus Ex 2 was a failure, here’s come Deus Ex 3, which is still a failure in comparison to the original. Sure, I had some enjoyment with it, and this is why I bought it when it was under 10 dollars, but by far and large this is another example of the horrific direction modern action RPGs are taking. This is why I will continue to vote against them, paying for what they are worth: ten dollars or less. Most indie, low-budget, outdated graphic games are more enjoyable than these multi-millions cinematic experiences. Here’s a thought: if I want to see a movie, I go to the cinema. What about that?

Its not very often such a great game comes along. The story is absolutely Fantastic and the game play is great. Little on the Easy side and could be a little longer. But you will have so much fun you wont mind restarting and playing through for a second or even third time.

An incredible story. a good gameplay and awesome graphics makes this game really great. Still has some matters I didn't like much. Apart form boss fightes, it's too much "guided" and leaves really a little to free exploration which is, from my point of view, one fo the basis of role-playing.

For those whom have enjoyed the 'visionary' Sci-Fi movies of the 1980's and played through games such as Bladerunner, Deus Ex (original) and System Shock 2, you will feel right at home with Deus Ex Human Revolution in terms of ambiance. DE:HR brought me a ton of subtle nostalgia, as if the devs took the most memorable and thought provoking moments of those games and those movies and injected them into the game.

What makes this game gorgeous is the flow of sound, music, ambiance, visual design, architecture and story. What makes this game fall short are the character animation nuisances for the 'anal' and the semi-linear world for those who enjoys exploration. On many occasions while I am going up a lift and seeing the massive wonders of what are possibilities, I feel saddened that I cannot expand my reaches and experience into those beautiful worlds. How much more enjoyable would it be if I was able to run around Shanghai, taking on side quests, finding 'hidden objects' and further quest objectives, maybe even lore?

The devs put a lot of effort into architecture. Often times I would finish clearing out or stealthing to a room, just to stand there and look at everything. The wavy ceiling panels, the lighting glow, the texture and colour of the room, the window that looks out over Montreal...

I had a chance to play this game at a friend's place last year and wanted to get it, but couldn't justify spending so much on a game with a semi-linear plot. Yes, people have said there is replay value in terms of trying a different method to do the same thing, but note that DE:HR is NOT a Fallout 3 or Skyrim game. If you've played Bladerunner from the 1990's, then it's more like that but with more action and tactics. Replay value is still very low, unless the devs release more DLC's.

However, I told myself that I needed to buy this game and when GG had that sale on, I immediately bought DE:HR + TML expansion, both under $12 total. I already finished DE:HR last year, so what I was paying for is the idea I am buying TML to play and 'honoring' DE:HR for giving me such an incredible nostalgic experience.

GRAPHICS == Visual Fluidity: 5/5, Ambiance: 5/5, World Design: 5/5, Architecture: 5/5, Character Animations: 4/5

SOUND == Effects: 5/5, Music: 5/5, Voice Acting: 4/5

GAMEPLAY == Controls: 5/5, Control Sensitivity: 5/5, Bug-free: 5/5 (it's never bug free, but it's close), Questing: 5/5, Boss Fights: 3/5 (run of the mill, should have had more ways to subdue them based on game mechanics), Diversity: 5/5, Explorable World: 2/5 (maps are big enough for side quests, but can't go back to previous quests if moving through main story and cities are not that big)

STORY == Substance: 4/5 (very good, but missing some emotional baiting), Fluidity: 4/5 (odd quirks here and there)

Well, well, well...

Really decent game. So decent, that almost perfect. But I have found some technical difficulties starting with FPS problems (which shouldn't have place on my PC) and software problems (like a lot of crashes to the desktop). What is more there are a lot of games which looks better and in the same time works better...

The story is also just decent. So decent, that almost perfect. But a bit predictable, side quests are sometimes a bit boring...

The fighting/sneaking is also just decent. So decent, that almost perfect. But that is all. There are some games with better shooting/fighting and there are some games with better sneaking...

But the most important, maybe the only perfect thing in this Game is the atmosphere. You stop wondering who the f-word designed stupid tunnel-like towns, you stop wondering why the game looks like made in 2004 and works like made in 2024. You just become Adam Jensen. And you inhale the atmosphere, and you still want more and more... until it gets a little boring, then you go to sleep... and when you wake up, you still want more :)

Great game! Not perfect, but great.

One of the best games ff 2011. But not perfect. Story is goog but, in my opinion, not as intense as - for example - Mass Effect. Visuals are moderate. Its DX11 but i don't seee much benefits of it. Overall almost as good as DX1, much better than DX2.

Very good game that finally has a decent dialogue system, where people react to what you say as people and not a la Bioware information terminals. Unfortunately the boss battles were very so-so.

Excellent story, excellent graphics, excellent game all in all! If you don't like being stealthy, this game wouldn't be the game for you. However, if you're like me and love being stealthy, this game is the game for you!

pretty good game. give's you the feel you need to play the original with it's back story.

a pretty good prequel for an awesome game.

Great game of square-enix and its for me one of the must have of 2011.

Graphics: Graphicas are solid build but maybe they need a bit of revision,

Sound: Sound are very nice whit voices in english, french, spanish...

Gameplay: The game plays well but the first person view is a bit messy.

Hits:missing link must be included in GOTY.

Overall 9.0

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a genuinely good game even if you've never played the original Deus Ex. In fact story-wise there's very little connection between the two so you're not missing out on much if you skip the first one.

The stealth element works fantastically. I completed the game using purely non-lethal methods but I never felt the game was slow. The game is intense, has a decent story, and some well-executed mechanics. The only issue (as you've probably heard many times) is how out of place the boss battle feels, especially if you've been playing the pacifist path. Still, it's easy to overlook that since there are only about 4 such battles in the game. The rest of the game is quite brilliant.

A fantastic return to form that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the original first game. Everyone has already read about the boss fights and yeah, they tend to suck a bit, but if you can look past that you'll be rewarded with the most immersive FPS/RPG since the original Deus Ex.

The story is great. The choices you have to make are hard ones in this game, but that's not all. The gameplay is absolutely brilliant, although it does tend to favour stealth playstyle of the other but as you get more mods you can really choose how you want to play the game. I found it a very good game and it sure makes me want to play the original game again. Not as good as the original but comes very close, in my opinion. Worth it :)

Nice game. Good production value for the first half but you get the feeling the devs ran out of money, ideas or time and the rest of the game becomes awfully padded. Very little replay value because once you know the story there's little incentive to try out different approach on your next play through.

I got the impression that this was going to be THE game of the year. One of the most hyped games of 2011.

Sadly being so hyped I expected something extraordinary. Don't get me wrong, the game is really good, but as the title states, no more no less.

There are many issues with this game.

Take for instance the fact that if you haven't played, or at least read a little about the Deus Ex universe, you'll be pretty confused throughout the entire game. Just 2 minute intro-trailer explaining what've happened would've helped SO much. Instead at least I thrown into a universe that I have no previous experience with.

Another issue has to got with the weapons. They're generic, that's about it. You get one generic weapon type, unless you pre-ordered the game or purchased a DLC. And in a game that so much focuses on shooting, that is unacceptable. Not to mention the utterly boring updating system for the weapons, just as generic as the weapons are. I.e. increased damage, increased accuracy and other utterly boring upgrades. Some obviously won't have a problem with this, but considering the massive amount of content this game got, it's fairly disappointing.

The third issues I had with it was surprisingly its AI. It's very stupid at times, simply put it. You can shot at the AI, and they might react by being more careful, and trying to find you. But that's about it.

YOU ARE BEING SHOT AT! would anyone seriously just stand about like a dork whilst being shot at. It's just so immersion breaking. But once again personal preference.

Last but not least I dislike the perks, it feels as though there are too many gaps. For example, before taking the increased jumping skill you can jump like 30 cm, and after you can jump like 10 meters. There's no middle ground. Completely black and white.

But beyond those objections, except being a little monotonous at time, it's overall a great game. If you can find it for under 30 euros, then buy it, by all means. And although you might feel confused if you haven't played the first Deus Ex, you'll still be dragged into the story.

Its a great game, however some aspects are a little complicated. Not a real problem but however sometimes it gets a bit frustrating. Graphics are good but not stunning. Gameplay is done well and its fun to use all those weapons that they have.And the fact that there are so many ways to get your missions done. Story line is solid and interesting. Overall a solid FPS.

Certainly a more worthy successor than Invisible Wars, but will probably disappoint hardcore fans of the original. You should try and get over it, though. As it is one of the best games released in recent memory.

It is one of the better sci-fi shooters out there. I was more impressed by the visual direction and music than the gameplay however. Because of the art and music the game is immersive to some degree, but some minor gameplay flaws can often disturb the flow in the game. The main boss also takes away from the freedom of choice the rest of the game provides. However for an overall experience, together with the DLC, anyone who enjoyed the first DeusEx and any stealth games, or just wants a casual shooter with something different than most competitive shooters, this is the game to get.

This game has everything--a good storyline, meaningful moral decisions, satisfying gunplay, stealth, and flexibility. One of the absolute best video games of the year--must play. It is a true steal at this sale price.

Deus EX is a little bit complicated game but for someone who has time (about 30 or more hours to complete game) it will be perfect choise. A lot of choises to make in a full of details big world. Sounds good ? The graphic maybe isn't special but it is not bad so you have to give it a chance. Storyline is more important and believe me it is pretty amazing.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a Sci-Fi FPS & RPG; it has stealth elements akin to Splinter Cell and dialogue options reminiscent of Mass Effect. The story is engaging and the atmosphere is quite immersive. The graphics are rather "meh" for a 2011 game, but it shouldn't detract from how great this game is. I am not familiar with the original Deus Ex, but if you are an action RPG fan (if you like games such as Mass Effect), this game is for you.

The cyberpunk game that i was looking for! It's incredible story moved me and it doesn't have the stupid fps style its more strategic and it has a deep storyline. One of the unique games of our era.

Great game, true rpg in 21 century, makers of Mass Effect should learn from it. Look great, play like a classic Deus Ex. Simply mission to get to police station have like 5 different ways, incredible game, worth price!

Amazing game, so many options to go in and kill or not and move stealthly through through everything, graphics are amazing everything u look at has so much detail put in to it. overall a great still not as good as the first deus ex when it first came out but for todays standard it is an amazing game.

This game is the perfect blend of shooter and RPG. You like Mass effect series? You will like this game. Also do not forget to use the icehancer mod, which makes this pretty game even more prettier.

Plain incredible! That same cyber-punkish and dystopic setting, great gameplay and plot, supporting different game styles, everything is included that made the original deus ex such a great game (Even the basketball!) Even though my computer didn't meet the requirements this game is one of the few games that I bought a new PC to play it. A must buy for fans of MGS series.

This game has been so much hyped it's almost funny. Technically it's there, but to me the immersion is completely lacking. It's like comparing a theater show with a movie with full surround and large screen, minus the often better acting on theater. The theater - and this game - can look nice, but the feeling of being there is greater in the movie.

1. Environment

Meh. The outdoors environments are pretty, but flat. Every time you turn a corner, every direction you face you see a wall - the end of the world. The trailers show riots, demonstrations, a world in crisis. When you first walk out that door you see walls, illogical road planning ending in walls and blocked tunnels. The only thing moving is a few patrolling policemen. You never see any rioting or anything actually happening around you. At one point you jump over a police line and walk around huge patrolling police bots, that's all the riot you actually see. It's a stage with props - not a world with people. Only traffic is an overhead monorail every few minutes. That's the first city, it does not get better.

2. Animations

Ouch. Talking to people is painful, not because of any emotional reaction to what is said, but because peoples movement while talking. You have a teary-eyed mourning mother saying the deepest things while twitching like she's on speed. Combat animations are on-par however.

3. Gameplay - combat

Best part of the game, but still a bit meh. Yes, you sneak. Yes you can move stuff. Yes you can do good-looking takedowns, lethal or not. You take cover, shoot (or not), move between covers etc. It's there, but there's nothing really surprising or revolutionary to it.

4. Storyline

Meh. This game should be right up my alley, it has all the ingredients, I love Sci-Fi, cyberphunk, Illuminati stories etc. But, alas, I got so bored I lost track of who was betraying me at the moment (thinking 'hasn't that guy betrayed me yet' to have it happen a little while later) or what the 'sides' represented. In the end it didn't feel like it mattered anyway. Everyone in the game (including the main character) is flat and wooden. This was supposed to be an RPG?

5. Technical

Good. I had no problems whatsoever. I did play it some time after release, don't know if that mattered. Probably the current level of game consoles can't do more than this so the PC platforms are stable by now. Graphics are on-par.

To sum it up, I regret buying this for full price, not waiting a year or so for a pricedrop. After the first few hours wore off, I actually had to force myself to play 1-2 hours at a time, since I really wanted it to get better or excite me. It wasn't painful nor interesting. I don't think I'll replay it nor buy DLCs.

Finally, repeat to yourself 100 times: Never believe marketing hype.

The story is rather standard, nothing refreshing or particularly exciting. The main character has a mysterious past, they are being lied to, there's plenty of conspiracies. There is a bunch of stereotype bad guys, who you get to kill off one by one through the game in boss fights, but also a couple of "grey zone" characters that you aren't quite sure of on who's side they are. The appearance and personality main character Adam Jensen is a plus, there are very few main characters out there who are more bada**.

The game lore is more or less taken from the old 80s Robocop movies, the game seems heavily influenced by those, to the point where there are in-game jokes about the similarities: ex-cop, nearly died, implants saved his life, he gets superhuman powers, wants to get revenge on those who messed him up, story takes place in Detroit, there are similar huge guard robots like the ones Robocop was fighting etc etc.

I have the feeling this game received a whole lot more hype than what is justified. A lot of the hype both by the developers and reviewers seems to revolve around the game having some unique moral considerations for the character/player. If you bought that moral debate hype, you will be disappointed. The moral dilemma of the game is whether humans should allow implants to give them supernatural features or not, become 'augmented'. Even though this has a faint, far-fetched connection to today's debate of DNA research, the whole moral debate just seems alien to me, it doesn't interest me. Because whether humans should become cyborgs or not is simply not a real moral dilemma I had to ever consider in the real world.

More interesting is that you can often decide whether to be merciful to your foes or kill them. You can sneak past them, knock them unconscious or kill them. Neither has any major benefits, save for a tiny xp bonus after the mission if you managed to go through it completely unnoticed. The former is the hardest by far, and gives most of a challenge.

However, if you decide to be the stealthy type who just slips past everything, you will suddenly find yourself finding a monotonous puzzle game rather than a first person shooter. Every level you play is very much the same, you sneak about either in some office complex or industry building most of the game.

Alternatively you can just shoot your way through. This is easy early on in the game, but gets harder when the foes get tougher. The controls are rather crappy if you are used to playing games like Call of Duty. Redefining the controls is a -must-, set iron sights (ie scope) to right mouse button, and set take cover on some other button, it is rmb by default. For an augmented superhuman, the character is also rather sluggish, even after maximum leg enhancements. So fire fights is mainly about taking cover and waiting out your enemies, then shoot them as they get close. The selection of weapons is rather boring, and as in most games you can get mods for them to upgrade them in various ways.

You can also chose a middle-ground between stealth and frontal assault, which is the easiest way of playing. There is a fun close-combat option that allows you to either knock out a foe that's up close, or kill them. I believe the former makes a bit less noise, but if you leave unconscious foes around, other enemies can find them and wake them up. For some quests you need the bad guys alive.

With the sneak element, the choice to knock out enemies silently or loudly shoot them, the option to hide away the bodies... this game is very very similar to the Hitman - Codename 47 series. If you liked those, you will like this game.

The graphics are good, in terms of combat and movement. The environment is poor however, you spend the whole game either in 1) dull office environments, or 2) dull industrial complexes (with lots of wooden boxes), or 3) dark, gloomy alleys. Weather, lighting and other such environment effects are minimal.

The game runs smooth and without any technical problems or notable bugs.

Overall, this is a very linear game. Don't believe anyone who tells you there is a lot of alternatives or sandbox elements: there is not. There is a linear story with a few side quests, and the game has no replay value. As a veteran gamer I beat this game in 3 days of casual playing, on the default difficulty level, doing every side quest. You do change the storyline a tiny bit depending on your choices, but overall the game is as linear as the average EA mainstream one.

I remember playing DE Invisible War when it was new, my (pretty good) hardware choking on the graphics, and while I’m more into RPG and strategy games of the sandbox variety, I was fascinated by the setting and the storyline. So let’s see how Human Revolution does compare.

For the record, I played it on a T1100 AMD/ 8GB DDR3 1600/ GTX 560 Ti.

Download and activation is via Steam. While I have a steam account, I purchased it through GG since I prefer the platform and for the blue coins ;). As for the following review, I will try to avoid specific details since they can spoil the game for new buyers.

Technical: Steam download and activation no problem. No bugs, no crashes, loading times okay, graphics runs well with maxed settings on my rig.

Rating 5

Gameplay: The game mechanics work very well, weapons and augmentations are useful and balanced except for: One augmentation is extremely OP and one weapon is only available at endgame. Level design is good, AI adequate with some limitations. Every quest, sideline and fight was solvable within the game context. Multiple solutions are possible. I found it too easy to complete on normal difficulty, so I’d encourage gamers looking for a challenge to use hard mode in any case.

Rating: 4

Graphics and overall appearance: Engine is good but not top-notch. Levels aren’t overly spectacular, but it’s ok with the setting. Combat animations are good, less so dialogues and cut-scenes. Some voice-acting is below par.

Rating: 4

Story: Compared to Invisible War the story is on the weak side. The setting and details are the best part of it. Unfortunately it’s pretty simple, linear and predictable with a lot of loose ends not well tied up. I never understand while they skimp on the script. Additionally all the main characters and bad guys are pretty stereotype with too little interconnection and background (and yes, I practically read every eBook and private email in the game).

Rating: 3

Overall Rating: 4 Stars. Worth it’s money for fans of the genre.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a great game that is even better than its predecessors. The game has a great story set in the future, the gameplay is alot of fun and there is alot of replayability since you can choose how you play the game. I will be picking up the DLC pack soon since the game is that good. Buy it and you will not be disappointed.

What can you say about one of the best RPG games out there at the moment? The sheer amount of choices on offer to you are staggering, the graphics are amazing, the sound... wow. The only problem I find is the vague conditions for things such as the "ghost" XP bonus... and of course the load times. But this is a game that will definitely be remembered in years to come, and only for good reasons.

Despite its flaws this is the first game out of many on my Steam account which made me get all 49 achievements and play it through for the second time. Now that I got the new DLC's I guess there will be some time to squeeze in a third playthrough :)

It isn't perfect but for me personally as a Sci-Fi fan this is the best game I've played in the last 6-7 years.

I loved the game. Perhaps the ending was bit weird. I sneaked through the game mostly. I used in my first playthrough so much time (over 80 hours) that I don't know how others finish that so fast. A bit dated graphics, well, gets better when you go forward.

Wasn't a let down and I will get the DLC when it comes.. Well, at least when I have money.

There wasn't many bugs, so it was propably most polished thing I've played in years.

There could be less offices and more places but the game as it is. It's awesome.

Having played the original Deus Ex wayyy back at the turn of the century :-) I'd been eagerly anticipating the release of Deus Ex HR - though I was a bit skeptical that lightning could strike twice, especially since it has been about a decade since the original (the Deus Ex 2 was OK, but a bit of a letdown compared to the first). So being prepared to be totally disappointed yet again - but yet still very hopeful, it was great to discover that the things that made the original so much fun and intriguing were all to be found in this latest release.

To keep things fairly high level (no spoilers etc) - the graphics were in line with what one would expect to see in 2011. The story - well for anyone who played the original - the story should satisfy - which is saying a lot. There is a true sense that the decisions you make, and the way that you approach the game (play style etc) actually have an impact on the game world and the eventual ending of the game itself. Gameplay itself was very easy to get back into... personally I found that the controls were pretty standard and intuitive in the sense that they make sense - at least to me and probably anyone else who plays a lot of First Person view type games.

I did find that I was able to finish this within about a week of playing (not sure how many total hours - so not sure how helpful that is) And while in some respects it seems like a very long journey from start to finish, it did seem to end a bit quicker than I'd have liked.

My recommendation would be to pick this game up if you enjoy engaging RPG/FPS type games.... this is the sort that could be played either just for the entertainment value of the interactive story, or for the actual challenge of the FPS elements...

Hope you enjoy!

An incredibly worthy successor to the original Deus Ex. I don't count the console sequel as a real game. Runs solid as a rock first of all, I've had it since launch, not one crash or game breaking bug.

You can play this game really how you want. You can turn it into a cover based shooter or play it like Hitman/Splinter Cell and sneak around silently disabling or killing everyone at your discretion. They have a ridiculous amount of pop culture references and subtle easter eggs that really add to the detail of the game.

Your actions don't have a huge impact on the world and its events like the very similar but flawed game Alpha Protocol, but your choices will effect how you get to the end credits. Sadly those end credits aren't very varied, which is my only complaint.

Regardless of that this game is very enjoyable if you like the genre. It's well made, thought provoking and funny at times. This is a game that if you play attention to everything visually and read a lot of the little things you can normally skip you will get a lot more out of it. It's rare for a game to raise legitimate questions about the world we live in, all while NOT being political, which is a massive plus.

Played the game after they have fixed the game with 2 patches..and it was very fun 30 hours game :)

It looks great and uses dx11.

Lots of decisions u can take through the game, u can choose to be silent or to use weapons or both :))

Also u can develope your character with vary of different skills.

worth the bucks $$

The stealth and fps action may not be great, but the cover system works extremely well, the story is great and the voice acting is exceptional. Thanks to a recent patch DXHR runs a lot better for me and even after finishing the game three times I still find myself wanting to play more.

You will read about how bad the boss battles are, and they are out of place but they are not that bad. Sompreparationon witaugmentationon choice and weapons will make the boss fights a breeze.

I can't recommend this game enough to those looking for a touch of rpg with some fps action, you won'tdisappointednted.

Deus Ex 3 was one of the most expected (and hyped) games of this year, but, unlike most of the games with a simillar rate of expectation, it does stand to all (or almost all) of its promises. And not only is it a great game of its own, it even meets the demands of even the most sworned fans of Deus Ex.

But saying that it's a mere copy of DX with just a new story and better graphics would be a huge understatement, as the game delivers many new features which make it even better. It contains an auto-healing system (along with healing drugs serving as med-kits), but it doesn't work right after you are injured, so it's not a system of immortality. It also offers a much greater array of augmentations, which are gained either by levelling up (this also means that the old skill-system from DX is gone) or by finding upgrade kits. And last, but not least, a great hacking mini-game which mostly resembles a fast-paced strategy game and which, unlike most mini-games of that sort (think of Hacking in Mass Effect series) doesn't get boring or repetitive.

Because of the hacking done trough a mini-game and not by using tools, there is no real end-game situation like in DX when you couldn't continue just because you couldn't open some doors. You can also store an infinite amount of ammo, but this is outweighted by the fact that ammo is a real object in your inventory (and different kind of ammo takes different amount of space) and each package of ammo holds an infinite amount of it (so to hold more ammo, you have to sacrifice more space of your inventory) and this (with the non-stackable grenades) is probably the only negative of the game.

While reviews have critisised the long loading times, this issue has been solved by a patch. What is also amazing is the fact that the game has very low requirements. It supports both low and high-end computers (I was even able to run the game on GeForce 8400, maybe with lowest details possible and 800x600 resolution, but it ran without any lags).

To conclude this (longer than I wanted) review, DX:HR is a great game and an aspirant for the title Game of the Year and even if you are not a fan of shooters (which this may be or not, depending on your approach), you definitely should play this game. 10/10
