FAVORITE: Deus Ex Human Revolution



Released August 23, 2011

An in-depth RPG shooter that takes place in the near future! With a dialogue wheel that reminded me Mass Effect and Dragon Age 2, I found myself carefully selecting responses because like those games, your words and actions determine the outcome of the game as a whole. I enjoyed tweaking my augmented abilities so they could work to my advantage. There were so many ways to go about completing a mission that I felt empowered when making tactical decisions.

Advances in cybernetics have given humanity a second chance at having a normal existence. People can now have limbs, organs, etc replaced with cybernetic tech, but is this all too good to be true?

Adam Jenson is a private security enforcer that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. After an attack on his employer and the apparent death of his girlfriend, Adam is left broken. He is repaired and given augmentation to sustain him, but as he searches for the truth, he is thrown into a global conspiracy that is likely to prevail is he doesn’t intervene.
