![]() ![]() Whichever option you choose, you can raid the bodies of your enemies and get extra ammo, information, and Credits(the game’s currency to buy more weapons, ammo, grenades, and even Praxis points). While the game doesn’t really penalize you for using guns, you do get more experience points by non-lethal takedowns, and surrounding enemies are less likely to be alerted to your presence. If you want, you can go through the game guns blazing, or take a more stealthy, pacifist approach by just sneaking behind various guards and enemies, and/or knocking them out. I would recommend focusing your Praxis points on one or two specific areas, depending on how you like to play.ĭeus Ex offers various ways of approaching how you progress through the game. If you’re like me when I first played the game and tried to spread things out evenly, your skills won’t be high enough to really do anything. Unless you comb every single square-foot of this game, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to completely fill up every single stat boost. These Praxis points allow you to upgrade your various Augments, such as improving your hacking ability so you can get inside locked doors and access restricted computers that give you extra running speed, upgrade your bag of weapons and items, and much much more. Doing these missions earn you experience points, which in turn earn you Praxis points. The game takes place primarily in a futuristic, run-down Detroit, which serves as the game’s central hub.You start off doing a few missions and side-missions here before you’re flown to places like China, Montreal and more. While it doesn’t affect a ton of things that happen in the long-run like the Mass Effect series or Telltale’s The Walking Dead, it’s a nice way to make your experience a little less frustrating. Based on how you upgrade your character, you’re also given special persuasion choices which can net you extra items, experience, or weapons. At times, you can lead the conversation into different directions or get different reactions by choosing various pre-determined answers or responses. Even if they don’t look as nice or fluid as the dull pre-rendered cutscenes that show up during key points, the writing is phenomenal and makes you really care or despise whoever you’re talking to. While the story can be really interesting and makes you question your own morals, the game really shines through its one-on-one conversations. Though, since he’s the only man capable enough to put a stop to purist, anti-Augment terrorist groups, he tries to put all of his qualms behind him. Adam is met with resistance, due to the ever-growing backlash against Augments and his own objections. Sarif Industries, the company he works for as the Chief of Security, rebuilds parts of his body with enhancements called Augmentations (or “Augments”). The story involves our hero, Adam Jensen, who was inflicted with a life-threatening mutilation while he was on an important mission. After playing this game on Nintendo’s home console, it’s hard to imagine that this already fantastic game could provide a better experience on any other platform. Fast-forward to today, Square-Enix has re-released the game, under a special “Director’s Cut” label, for all current-gen systems, despite it originally being a Wii U exclusive. Combining an open world first-person cover shooter with a western-style RPG along with an extremely thought-provoking story, easily made it one of my favorite games of 2011. Deus Ex: Human Revolution hit the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in late 2011 to critical acclaim. ![]()
