![]() Turns out Reed is killed in the assault and Adam is critically wounded so badly that the only way he survives is by repairing his body with augments. On the eve of a huge announcement from Sarif, the building finds itself under attack by unknown mercenaries and Adam tries to save his former girlfriend Dr. You control ex-SWAT Adam Jensen, employee of Sarif Industries, which is the leading company for developing these mechanical augments for humans. ?Augs? are approximately 1/20th of the human population and slowly becoming the new face of mankind. ?Naturals? shun implants and those who use them saying they are immoral, too poor to afford it themselves or their biochemistry simply makes their body reject implants totally. Technological cybernetic implants are becoming more commonplace. The year is 2027 and the world is much the same as it is today. It?s all about choice and how you want to play. You can choose to stealth (and there?s even an achievement for not killing anyone aside from bosses), guns blazing or find a separate route to your objective. Playing through situations in different techniques will truly show you how diverse the mechanics are. Many games tout that they give you this freedom but unlike most, DXHR actually rewards you for doing so. Play this like a stealth focused game and you?ll have a much better experience just like I did once I learned the mechanics and how to properly play the hacking mini-game.ĭXHR is all about letting you play the game the way you want to. Yes you have guns and need them to take enemies out (if you decide to) but you don?t want to play this like a cover based third person shooter. I?ll admit, I was really turned off from the first hour of gameplay but that?s because I realized I was playing it ?wrong?. It has a big emphasis on choice, morals, social interaction, quests and more. Obviously for the stealth mechanics you?d need to compare to other similar titles like Metal Gear and Splinter Cell, but what Deus Ex does so well is that stealth is not the only ?hook? for the series. ![]() I?ve you?ve never played the series before, its essence is based around stealth gameplay but there?s so much more to it than that. With this summer being quite dead for new releases, DXHR was essentially the first big release to break the summer drought so naturally I was excited to give it a try as I?m also a sucker for prequels. Here we are years later and we finally are treated with Deus Ex Human Revolution (DXHR for short) which turns out to be a prequel and set events in motion to what you experience in Deus Ex. Shortly after it spawned a sequel but didn?t live up to the hype as the original and thus the series went into a slumber for quite some time. It?s hard to believe that the original came out over a decade ago and was so revolutionary for its time back in 2000. Truthfully, I know exactly why Everquest came out the year before and the next few years of my life revolved around that game rather than many others I should have played. For some reason I never really got around to playing the original Deus Ex other than a few short times here and there. ![]()
