Thoughts on DX:HR

I have been waiting for this game to be released for a little over a year now, since I saw it on the front cover of Atomic magazine. And I have to say, it has definitely been worth the wait.

Even though it was released in 2000, last week, I would have still said that my absolute No. 1 favourite campaign was in the original Deus Ex game. But as of Thursday, that has changed. I havent yet finished campaign, bu in my opinion, Deus Ex Human Revolution has gone above and topped it.

The best part of the game is how suspenseful it can be. For example you have to creep slowly through an area litteredĀ  with guards, hoping that they don’t hear you. But while stealth elements of the game have been done really well, there is still the choice of making some noise, hoping that you have enough ammo or objects around you. And if that fails, there’s always the option of throwing objects at enemies. There’s nothing funnier than killing a big scary boss with a fire extinguisher thrown to the head :P

The most surprising part about the game is how real it feels. For example while roaming the streets of Shanghai, you may run across small food shops, with the shopkeeper cooking food and people eating at the bench. If you watch, the shop keeper is actually cooking – throwing in ingredients, stirring, and turning whatever is in the pan over a stove. Small things like this, they all add up, creating a convincing environment which could easily be the world in 16 years.

If you haven’t already, I suggest you obtain Deus Ex Human Revolution. It is an amazing game, and definitely worth the money to buy it.
