Seeing the underside of the upper tier, it is difficult not to imagine the affluence and ostentation of the people walking above, sunlight warming their face, instead of the cold neon and clutter of the Lower Hengsha streets which where Adam Jensen has to work. Not because it is an astonishing technical achievement or obvious visual showcase, rather it highlights wonderfully the depth to which the game has you immersed. The two-tier city, seen in all of the early trailers for the game, is one of the standout graphical moments of Deus Ex. GRAPHICS: In Hengsha (Deus Ex’s second hub city), to truly appreciate the visuals of Eidos Montreal’s game, all you have to do is look up. The immersion of the world is broken only fleetingly, but it is enough to hint at the true structure of the story and remind the player that this is just a game. Not only do these moments break the sensation of the game world and the story, they also feel clunky and old-fashioned.

The feelings of free will, choice and influence that the writing team worked so hard to generate tumble out of the window as the player is funnelled into confrontations with clichéd boss characters. The game is punctuated by boss fights and situations that are totally unavoidable. It is only when returning to the main plot that this feeling of total control is broken. Side quests, which are elaborate and consistent with Jensen’s established position as an ex-SWAT security chief (he is never reduced to the level of errand boy), do much to fill out the backstory and establish the kind of protagonist the player wants Jensen to be. It is here that the player really creates their own universe, with cause and effect moulding the game’s sub-plots. This overarching story is beyond the influence of the player, but inside this main story is a mesh of interactions, side quests, discussions and revelations where the player has total control over shaping the world. The world of Human Revolution tips its cap to the original Deus Ex, Blade Runner and any number of dystopian sci-fi touchstones, leaving an incredibly rich and vividly realised world in which a convoluted story of corporate espionage, runaway technology and scrambles for power can unfold wonderfully in front of you. Millions of words of dialogue and text have gone into creating one of the most cohesive universes in gaming history.

STORY: Deus Ex is crammed full of detail. Can Deus Ex Human Revolution really put the universe in the player’s hands? This promise of godhood is an enticing one but, so often, one that it is not within the power of the developer to deliver. Deus Ex, as the title would suggest, desires to give the player the power to shape the world as they see fit.

Dense, all consuming and packed tight, everything close together, to be touched and crucially, to be sculpted. Most modern games exist much like the universe as it exists now beautiful, exciting and full of life, but much of it spread out and untouchable, there to be admired but never truly interacted with.ĭeus Ex: Human Revolution is our universe, but when it was new. Our universe began with an explosion and in the first few seconds of existence, it was incredibly dense, full of every atom of matter that would spread through space over billions of years to become the cosmos we inhabit today.
