The Week In Games: A Rebirth, A Remake, And A Remaster<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Released back in 2011 for PS3, Xbox 360, and Windows PCs, Human Revolution<\/em> may have been the third game in the Deus Ex<\/em> franchise, but it served as a narrative prequel to the first game. Featuring a brand new protagonist, Human Revolution<\/em> wound back the clock on some of the series\u2019 far future, cyberpunk tech, showing how both society and secretive shadowy conspiracy groups would respond to the development of cybernetic body components and the \u201caugmented\u201d people who choose or need to use them. Though it presents a somber, dystopic portrait of an overly teched-up society, it aspired to give that world a unique, Renaissance-era visual sensibility that developer Eidos-Montr\u00e9al referred to as \u201ccyber-renaissance.\u201d <\/p>\n

Human Revolution<\/em> enjoyed positive reception from critics upon release, though some weren\u2019t fans of its boss fights. While I didn\u2019t enjoy those moments either, I found the game to deliver exactly the kind of moody cyberpunk narrative about what it means to be a human being I was looking for, wrapped in a challenging hybrid of immersive sim and action RPG. Human Revolution<\/em> was the first game I played after going a few years without touching a video game, and I was stuck to it for a solid 19 hours straight on my first playthrough. <\/p>\n

While it arguably doesn\u2019t reach the same heights as the original Deus Ex<\/em><\/a><\/span>, and doesn\u2019t offer as much of an im-sim experience as the 2003 sequel Invisible War<\/em>, I found its story to be a bit more thought provoking and grounded, even if it does still end up being about the illuminati. Meanwhile Human Revolution<\/em>\u2019s own sequel, Mankind Divided<\/em>, flew too close to the sun with its direct appropriation of real-life, contemporary activist causes and rhetoric, applying them to its own story in ways that felt hamfisted and tone deaf.<\/p>\n

When you consider that it\u2019s highly unlikely we\u2019ll see a new Deus Ex<\/em>, at least any time soon, I think snagging this little chapter in the franchise for such a low price is pretty sweet. The fact that it comes without DRM on top of that is a nice bonus.<\/p>\n
