Jensen's guarded persona comes across more wooden than wounded. The setting also happens to be more interesting than our hero. I found myself completely absorbed in this universe, entranced by its myriad depressing details. I stopped and read every bit of information I could find, no matter what pressing matters needed my attention. Throughout the game, there are news broadcasts, e-books and emails that portray a culture in flux. The world-building in Human Revolution is incredible, painting a bleak but plausible future in its every detail. From the outset, you're given all of the tools - guns, a silent takedown move (in both lethal and non-lethal flavors) and the skills to hack into systems - and let loose into the world. Missions allow you the freedom to complete them according to your preferences: You can choose to infiltrate a building with lethal or non-lethal means, to sneak around and never engage the enemy or to use hacking and turn existing security features to your side.
In the grand cyberpunk tradition, there are shady deals afoot, vast conspiracies at play and plenty of philosophical hand-wringing about the price of technology and human progress.Īs Jensen, you move about hub areas - taking side quests, if you choose - and complete story missions. Jensen lives in 2027 Detroit, in a bleak future that sees Earth torn apart by war and all but ruled by powerful corporations, not least of which is Sarif Industries, his employer. The plot - which takes plenty of turns throughout the course of the game - concerns Adam Jensen, a cybernetically enhanced security chief with a tragic past and a tough-guy demeanor. The Director's Cut improves on this vision, smoothing the rough patches and offering excellent second-screen play. When Human Revolution first came out in 2011, it was praised for its dark, fascinating world, stealth-heavy gameplay and commitment to player choice.
