Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut

<3

EDIT: I reviewed this game yesterday and gave it a thumbs up but then I was thinking about how they delisted the original and I was reading how a lot of people prefer original over this one (apparently this one is based on a crappy wii u version or something) and I'm changing my review to thumbs down. There's no reason not to sell the original too and if they're worried about people buying that one instead of this one then (1) who cares you're getting money either way and (2) it just means this version is not as good as it should be if people prefer the orginal #stopkillinggamesyoudumbmotherf u c k e r s this is a difficult one to know whether to recommend or not but ultimately the game is fun (not fun to achievement hunt though) mostly because of how the game gives you so much freedom in interacting with the world to complete your objectives. The sandbox design of the levels is really well done and there so much reward for exploring and figuring out how to complete each section. The exploration isn't just rewarding in terms of completing objectives but also just in how much the game actually lets you uncover every part of each area and I think in that sense even just being able to explore is a reward in and of itself. Think of it like this, in games like AC Black Flag there's the office part but you don't get to go anywhere or do anything in the office. This game is the exact opposite of that. There's hacking and breaking through walls, sneaking and shooting and takedowns and more and it all works together in a really cool way that a lot of games don't achieve. I think in all honestly this game is what the hitman games fall short of being. There are some annoying parts of the game and some clunky things (the cover system where Jensen prefers to snap to cover that will leave him exposed as opposed to cover that will cover him; throwing grenades) but ultimately worth playing at least once. The reason I said at the beginning that its difficult to know whether to recommend the game is just because I realize I don't really like the game itself so much as I like the mechanics of the game. I don't think there's another game in the whole entire world that does what Deus Ex Human Revolution DC does at all (I guess besides Cyberpunk) or at least as well. But at the end of the day I liked the game more for what it does than for what it is. I don't know a better way to describe it then that but even though its not my favorite game I think its approach to game design is what a lot of games should emulate. Or in other words, I wish some publisher would take the mechanics in this game and put them into a better game. For example, I probably prefer GTA V to this but GTA V sure seems lacking in terms of sheer freedom to play the way you want to and to have multiple ways to complete the levels or in terms of being able to interact with the world in free roam. I think that's the shame of it is that more game makers don't give you the same level of freedom because this is one of the only games where you actually feel like you can play it the way you want without restrictions. Some people have reported the game not working but it worked for me so do with that what you will but all in all I think it's worth playing. (The other reason it was difficult for know whether to recommend this or not is due to my long standing hatred of squre enix)
