Most people reading this probably have never even heard of the original Deus Ex. However, the original game was a pioneer among the gaming industry by fusing the first person experience with stealth, all the while keeping a strong open-world RPG back bone. The original Deus Ex is without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played.
However, seeing as how recent sequels to old games (Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein) have not been up to par, I was a bit skeptical about buying the game on release. However, I went back to the memories I had playing the original, and bought it.
I was not disappointed! This game is WONDERFUL. Everything has been worked out, from a carefully designed hacking system, to a complex AI system that uses a line of sight detection and sound, as well as noticing thing out of the norm (doors left open). This game is not one to miss and will not displease anyone who enjoys using strategy in their games as opposed to a run and gun. Don't get me wrong, you can do run and gun, but then the elements that sets this game apart from your standard FPS/RPG are lost.
If I had to give a description of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I would say it went like this:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is like the stealth systems from Splinter Cell (but revamped and cleaned up) and the FPS/RPG elements from Fallout.
You will not be disappointed with Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
