Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (stylized as DEUS EX: HUMΔN REVOLUTION) is an action role-playing video game developed by Eidos Montréal and published worldwide by Square Enix in August 2011 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360: a version for macOS released the following year. It is the third game in the Deus Ex series, and a prequel to the original Deus Ex.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Intriguing characters.
 * 2) Multiple endings on however you play the game.
 * 3) *Sadly, they all have the same outcome, no matter what you choose, making the endings just feel generic at best.
 * 4) Dark and brooding visuals.
 * 5) Highly well designed graphics (if you don't mind the constant, yellow tinting, of course).
 * 6) Highly complex and interesting story.
 * 7) Nicely shot takedown cutscenes.
 * 8) Variety of augmented abilities to unlock.
 * 9) Side quests help flesh out the story and the world.
 * 10) Each location is unique in the game and it shows the cyberpunk style that it uses quite well.
 * 11) Excellent level design.
 * 12) You can play your way however you like, similar to Dishonored and Thief.
 * 13) Hacking in the game is pretty cool.
 * 14) Impressive art direction.
 * 15) Good musical score.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Repetitive and unimpressive boss fights (though they're only quite a few of them, thankfully). Due to the game nearing its release date this was rushed and outsourced to another company.
 * 2) Technical hiccups.
 * 3) The console versions have slightly longer loading times.
 * 4) The overall storyline just falls flat, with far too many plot holes regarding augmentations.
 * 5) Singapore and Montreal are sadly linear and cannot be fully explored compared to both Detroit and Hengsha. Upper Hengsha, however, can't be explored.
 * 6) *While not a bad quality, the real life counterpart of Hengsha is entirely rural and gigantic skyscraper buildings (both lower and upper) do not exist at all compared to the in-game version.
 * 7) Continuity error: Although Deus Ex: Human Revolution takes place in 2027, it served as a prequel to the original Deus Ex (which takes place in 2052) because the original game wasn't overly-futuristic whereas Human Revolution is, and it completely contradicts the overall timeline of both of these games.

Reception
Angry Joe gave this game a 8 out of 10.

Trivia

 * 1) "I never asked for this" is a very popular internet meme spawned from this game.
 * 2) The art direction in the game is inspired by the Renaissance era of history.
