Best video game trailers of all time
GameSpot's Kevin VanOrd sums up Deus Ex: Human Revolution as "an excellent game with an unsettling vision of the future we face."
"The longer you play, the more the story grabs you and the more you appreciate the customizability of the game." Van Ord continues, "Hybrid games like this are uncommon. Even more uncommon are games with Human Revolution's power to eclipse its quirks with such enthralling atmosphere and exciting adaptability."
This version does everything right
Ben Kuchera at Ars Technica has high praises for the PC version of the game, "Not only is the game an amazing return to form for Deus Ex but the PC version does nearly everything right."
Doesn't drag
Ludwig Kietzmann at Joystiq points out the effort put forth by the design studio behind the game, "Eidos Montreal allows you to play freely within its intelligently layered systems, rather than dragging you by the nose through cinematic event after cinematic event. This is the difference between a game that is well made and one that is well designed."
Missions are captivating
Gamers looking for intelligent content will be please. Tom Price at GamePro shed light on the psychological aspects of the game. "The consistent mental challenge of tackling each mission is what makes it so captivating, relying on strategy over spectacle."
