![]() Adam Jensen may be an augmented human, but he is still a human, and the game never lets you forget it."Īnd then there's the story, which Edge magazine calls "a better yarn than that delivered by the first game. This is not a game that just lets you open fire and trust in your reflexes this is a game in which strategy is just as important as skill. "Securing an exit should things go wrong, choosing (and changing) advantageous positions, and identifying which target to fire upon first, as well as which weapons to use, are crucial. "Success in combat is determined by careful planning," he writes. Jim Stirling of Destructoid reserves special praise for the combat system, which he says is dynamic and deep. It’s a hazy mess of neon, a half-vertical city with no distinction between rooftops and streets – large, bewildering and excitingly foreign." "Later, the Chinese metropolis of Heng Sha is genuinely like visiting a new country. You start in Detroit, a dim vision of an industrial city collapsed and revived one too many times," he writes. "The places your missions take you are gorgeous. Speaking of those graphics: They're beautiful, says Tom Francis of PC Gamer. It's excellent stuff that manages to show up even LA Noire in all but facial animation." "The conversation system asks you to genuinely assess your subject, subtly shifting the talk in the way you want it to go. "The great thing is that each option is entertaining in its own right," he writes. Over at the Telegraph, Tom Hoggins praises Deus Ex: Human Revolution for its breadth of choice: Users can brawl, sneak, or sweet talk their way into enemy compounds. Depending on play style, Human Revolution feels like a great action game or a slower-paced RPG." "The third-person cover system wasn't shoe-horned into the game, either, and it makes sense in a deep way. "The gunfights in Human Revolution aren't quite chess, but they're a long way from checkers – especially when you learn to move silently and take down two enemies at the same time, by hand," he writes. Large hub sections allow you to talk with people, pick up side-quests, and search for hidden surprises and goodies." Meanwhile, Kuchera says, Human Revolution ably balances aspects of traditional shooter and RPG gameplay. "The story is dense, complete with twists, interesting characters, and far-flung locations. "Fans can take a deep breath: they will get what they want from a Deus Ex game in this release," Ben Kuchera writes over at Ars Technica. So what do critics think of this futuristic action title? Quite a lot, it turns out – the early reviews are strong. The game is a prequel: It foreshadows the events in the original Deus Ex, and Deus Ex: Invisible War. Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the third installment in the Deus Ex series, lands later this week, putting players in the feet of Adam Jensen, a security officer with Sarif Industries.
