![]() Praxis kits can also be found tucked away throughout the environments, which encourages exploration. For example, there is an augment that lets Adam fall from any height without causing physical damage to him, and another that lets him spot enemies through walls. This xp will unlock Praxis points, which is used to purchase upgrades for Adam’s augments. Over the course of the game, players will be awarded experience points for completing tasks. While, for the most part, Adam is not a huge fan of the augments forced upon him, they certainly come in handy. While being augmented has seemingly put Adam on the “pro-augmentation” side of the debate, players have more control over how the story progresses, and ultimately ends through a few key actions/choices that they encounter in the story. It’s not Skyrim, but it’s also much more polished and tightly designed. The game itself is pretty linear, but the ability to roam around the environments as you see fit does give it that open feel. While exploring the hub worlds of Detroit and Shanghai, players will come across NPCs (non-player characters), that will give Jensen side missions to complete while following the main storyline quests. ![]() Gameplay is a mix of first person shooting, stealth, and role playing. Part of the fun of the game play is uncovering all of this and getting to the truth. Since this is Deus Ex, his journey naturally leads him through all sorts of dark conspiracies and corporate espionage. Megan Reed, and four other scientists are kidnapped in the same attack, and Adam is unwillingly subjected to extreme augmentation to save his life.Īfter recovering from the incident, Jensen returns to Sarif and attempts to pick up the pieces, as well as track down those responsible for the attack on Sarif. Without giving too much away, Adam finds himself victim to a horrible act of terrorism at Sarif. Players control Adam Jensen, a former police officer and current head of security at the Detroit based biotech firm, Sarif Industries. Of course, not everyone is sold on the virtues of cybernetic augmentation, and various multinationals have split from the government, and have begun to execute their own agendas in this brave new world. Human cybernetic enhancement is a groundbreaking new technology, and numerous biotechnological corporations have sprung up to capitalize on this latest advancement in human evolution. The world is in a state of transition, as some impressive new technology has altered the lives of human beings everywhere. ![]() I was so, so wrong.ĭeus Ex takes place in the year 2027, 25 years before the events of the first game. When I heard that it was a prequel, set before the events of the first game, I was downright convinced that Deus Ex: Human Revolution, would be nothing more than a mediocre cash in on a series that could have been so much more. When I heard that a new Deus Ex was releasing, 8 years after the sequel, and a whopping 11 years after the original, I was skeptical. I passed up on the sequel: Deus Ex: Invisible War, mostly because I heard it just wasn’t that good, and failed to live up to the expectations set by the groundbreaking original. The futuristic, cyberpunk setting and complex, conspiracy laden story had me hooked from beginning to multiple endings. At the time, the graphics were amazing, and the combination of first person shooter and RPG was addicting, and pretty new to me. I remember the first time I played Deus Ex back in 2000 on my best friend’s PC. Developer: Eidos Montreal/Nixxes Software ![]()
