As head of Sarif Industries security force, you are in charge of keeping the the company executives safe as they push the limits of social tolerance with cutting edge technology revolving around human augmentation.
Set in the no-so-distant future of the year 2027, Deus Ex: Human Revolution (DX:HR) puts you into the shoes of Adam Jensen. Can Eidos, or more specifically their development team at Eidos Montreal, do the impossible and deliver the true sequel Deus Ex fans have been craving for more than a decade. A decade later Ion Storm, is no more and Eidos Interactive has decided to pick up the reigns of the series that once ruled the industry. If you look at the reviews of the title, it doesn’t appear to be that bad of a game game until you compare it to the original title. Invisible War is largely classified as being a bad game and not because of its individual merit. Let’s take the original sequel to the game, Invisible War, which launched a few years after the original. Unfortunately, the answer to that question is usually “no”. How do you follow up something like Deus Ex? Can that success ever be achieved again? While an accolade such as that is commendable for a development studio and one hell of a bullet point to have on your resume, it also becomes sort of a curse. Ion Storm’s cyber punk classic is often heralded as the greatest PC, if not overall, video game of all time.
There are arguably only a handful of games, throughout the entire course of video game history, that have obtained the prestige and accolades of the 2000 PC classic. Few games ever achieve the iconic status of the original Deus Ex.
