Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Director’s Cut)
Continuing the legacy of Warren Spectre’s 2001 masterpiece Deus Ex was never likely to be an easy task, but the team at Eidos Montreal produced a fantastic game in Human Revolution that perfectly complimented the series. HR certainly has its own distinct flavor, but the extent to which the development team studied the original is clearly evident throughout the game.
Cyberpunk to the core, HR captures the moody, desperate and bleak tone of a near future world facing immense social challenges thanks to the introduction of commercially available cybernetics. As the plot quickly unravels,so to does the scope of its premise to include social control and corporate espionage, with the game’s ultra cool protagonist Adam Jensen finding himself at the center of conspiracy far greater than the sum of its parts.
HR is perhaps the greatest cyberpunk game of the modern generation, an unmissable classic that every fan of video games, not just the genre needs to play. We’ve opted to include the later director’s cut not just because it includes the superb DLC Missing Link but also due to the revised boss battles, offering significantly more strategic freedom to players.
