2/15/2023 0 Comments Deus ex human revolution levelsIt’s been complained about before and it is something that is annoying. For most of the fights the stun gun happens to make the bosses do basically nothing as they fight back, and is considered non lethal, nonetheless all my bosses still died. Each and every boss in the game, you have to kill (minus 1, but that was brought in with the DLC and is not part of the main game) even if you take them out non-lethally for the entire fight the cutscene that follows will show them dead. I say mostly as while it’s been brought up before by other people but it bears repeating now. Do you want to go non-lethal the entire way through? That’s… mostly fine. Gameplay for HR happens to be pretty darned good honestly, it gives you a bunch of options and lets you run with it. A good game gives a story that’s believable but adds some flair of its own that you know isn’t true, but still reels you in because of how close it parallels reality. And it’s interesting how even though it is in its infancy, things like augmentations can affect people in real life. Admittedly, that is something that could happen in real life as well, so maybe an emphasis from Adam which path seems preferable with how you’re playing might have solved that. Now, to be fair, the original Deus Ex did this as well, so maybe it’s an homage, but it’s still odd that you can be playing a specific way and go against how your character would. It doesn’t need a replay, it just slaps you with them at the end. While on the note of endings, I will say it is a little disappointing how you can change the ending, it gives you 4 options to choose from right at the very end and you choose it. Regulate it more? Absolutely, and it probably should’ve been in the first place to be honest since you can have blades stored in you as well as gun). Without going too much into detail since it’s the ending of the game, I don’t think humanity would reject science even after this. Now, that covers does it hold up, and if it’s intriguing, why did I want more? Well, honestly the story does happen to be pretty good, but there’s some flaws here and there specifically for some of the ending/ NPCs. But it’s your choice if you want to access all that, and I can appreciate it for catering to everyone. Deus Ex lets you read books, email, and listen to NPC’s. Dark Souls lets you get more world building from item descriptions and NPCs. It’s something I can appreciate, and in a sense I think the biggest parallel for this would probably be Dark Souls. Which totally works, that’s mostly what I did this run as while I’m really glad that they give you more and more information to immerse yourself in, I didn’t want to do that on stream. So in order, the story does hold up, it’s told to you in a way you can either get as much information as you want or as little by just going from mission to mission and getting a broad understanding. With a brief understanding of HR under our belts how does it hold up, is it intriguing, did I want more, did I agree with what the game presented me? Yes, yes, yes, and… somewhat. Along with other conspiracies, it wouldn’t be a Deus Ex game after all without a handful of conspiracies. Sarif gets attacked a few days before a big speech by one of their head researchers Megan Reed, Adam gets completely totaled and Megan is killed, thus Adam gets nearly full body augmented (he never asked for this) and we have to find out why Sarif was attacked. In the far off world of 2027 we have figured out human augmentations and how we can incorporate robotics into humans… mostly. HR has you playing as Adam Jensen, a former police officer who is now doing private security for Sarif Industries, one of the leaders in human augmentation. So was it worth it to finally finish Deus Ex Human Revolution? Well, let’s find out. First it was that my computer had issues running it when it initially came out, then I tried on the Wii U version a few years later and came close, I got to The Missing Link then something happened to my save file. Ever since Human Revolution has come out I’ve wanted to beat it. Man, I’m really glad to finally beat this game.
