: : OVERVIEW : : : : : :
I had honestly never played any of the prior Deus Ex games before, so this was my first encounter with the series, but it ended up being a wonderful one. Adam Jensen is a great protagonist here, he's mysterious in a crowd, but a force of nature when he needs to hunt someone down. You can also "tune" him to your play style, to fit just the strategy you like (but be warned, there aren't enough points in the game to get all of the upgrades, so you must choose wisely).
: : PROS : : : : : :
- Blends the FPS and TPS perspectives very smoothly, and uses cover very well.
- I 'PARTICULARLY' love how you can upgrade weapons, they did that in an amazing way in this game.
- Great story
- Interactivity with the world is done very well
- Gives you the ability to go non-lethal or lethal force for the entire game, whichever you prefer.
- Hacking system was surprisingly fun
- Great music
: : CONS : : : : : : : :
- Inventory is small (although that's my fault since I'm a hoarder)
- Sometimes I would go in for a melee takedown in a crowd against a soldier, and the game would target the civilian next to him instead
- You can add additional batteries to your pool, but they will never automatically recharge past the first one.
: : FINAL WORD : : : : : :
AMAZING GAME, probably my favorite of the year so far. Not perfect, but definitely good enough to enjoy many times over. Definitely a 'BUY', I'd give it a 9.0
