Deus Ex: Human Revolution

incgamers.com review
Despite the quality of the combat, the emphasis on gameplay options, the diverse set of augmentations and the substantial side-missions, what will stay with me about Human Revolution is its focus on creating a rich, believable world filled with interesting characters, themes and conflicting ideals. The mere fact that it aims for such lofty narrative heights is commendable, the fact that it achieves them is worthy of celebration.

Deus Ex didn't come all of this way only to forget where it hailed from in the first place though. Touches of classic PC gaming pepper the experience (such as an old-school grid system for the inventory), ensuring that this is one legendary PC series that's managed to keep its head while all around it others are losing theirs.

Not only is there myriad optional computer systems to infiltrate, you also can grill other characters using your conversational skills. It's essentially dialogue-based combat. At various junctures in a conversation, you are asked to choose between three possible responses. Threats will get you everywhere with certain individuals, whereas others won't budge. Choosing the wrong tact can be costly, depriving you of valuable information permanently, but since this is a Deus Ex game, there's always another method of achieving your goal.

In fact, exploring a map gives me a bit of a self-determining Metroid feel -- I constantly see options like "if I had strength, I can move that dumpster," or "I could totally jump that if I upgrade my legs," or "I could have just jumped down if I had the Icarus parachute thing." Plus, it's through all this exploring that I find sly little references that tie this crazy conspiracy yarn to the original game (memos from Manderley, or an early experiment from Everett), which makes me smile.

Zoveel uur steken in een game is op zich niet bijzonder, dat heb je vaker bij RPG’s bijvoorbeeld. Toch is het bij een game als deze die voornamelijk op actie en stealth is gericht een bijzondere prestatie. Waar zie je dat immers vaker? Naar ons idee niet al te veel. Als we dan even terug kijken op de toppers van de afgelopen jaren, dan kunnen we in de laatste regels van deze recensie je meegeven dat dit één van de beste games is die we in de afgelopen twee jaar hebben gespeeld. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is anders, doet nieuwe dingen en is gewoon ontzettend vet. Een absolute must-have, waarmee het najaar van 2011 gelijk op het allerhoogste niveau van kwaliteit begint.
