![]() Well-made and handled with great care, no doubt, but a facelift all the same. So when Human Revolution’s bold narrative and artistic choices stumble, as they do in the final act - a cyberpunk spin on the zombie apocalypse that ends with a literal button-press choice of endings - it’s all the more apparent that Human Revolution is at its core mostly just the original Deus Ex with a facelift. Unfortunately, immersive sims are defined primarily by their atmosphere and their gameplay systems. It stands in stark contrast to the game’s typical gold palette and may be interpreted in many ways, but it immediately reminded me of Frank Jackson’s “ Mary in the black and white room” thought experiment. A late-game area that serves as a prison for a scientist is rendered entirely in black and white, for example. They include subtle, easily missed touches, like a set of decorative spheres in Sarif’s office, which can later be seen, fuzzy and distorted, in the glass panes of a rival company.Īnd they use color and lighting to underscore fascinating narrative themes. The environments pack everything from the baroque furniture and Blade Runner-esque clutter in Jensen’s apartment to the sleek modernism of Tai Yong Medical. You could switch to the laser or plasma near the end, but you won't get as much ammo for them, and by then, your gatling is covered in mods.Here Human Revolution unequivocally surpasses the original. Once you get the gatling gun, put ALL your weapon mods into that, especially capacity, because the ammo crates are huge. ![]() By the end of the game, you can have every aim aug, full armor, cloaking, typhoon, carrying around a gatling gun with several crates of bullets. You can turn your character into a terminator if you want, and slaughter everyone. Naturally stealth with a grenade launcher or minigun is out of the question.īut the reason why the game is so good is because unlike other stealth games, you don't have to play it that way. The good damage rifle however cannot have a silencer put on it. The silenced rifle is capped with pitiful damage, making it pretty much worthless. Where you really get the stick is with rifles. Even if its silenced, you usually can't shoot anyone without still being detected. Every lethal gun instantly alerts every enemy in the area with its noise. Lethal takedowns reward less XP, and make noise. These quests are more difficult if you're not built for pacifist. There's also several quests where you are required not to kill anyone. The stun weapons are quiet, and 2 of the grenades don't kill people. You get more XP for non lethal takedowns, and it's quieter to do. ![]() ![]() couple hacks are more than the ghost bonus. Hacking everything and getting the XP bonuses during the hacks is important. knowing where the hidden praxis kits in the map are is important. I usually max the things I use pretty early, I get all the cash I need in the first area. I'm normally nearly maxed by the end of the game. Gotta haul all their guns back individually to sell them though, so you can buy the praxis kits. the first city it starts with you raiding the police station then taking on a gang, if you take on the gang first, knock them all out, then do the police station before the gang quest starts, you wander over to the gang area and complete its objective, you'll get ghost for it because all the people who would detect you are knocked out. Though not all areas give you XP for takedowns. Easiest way to get ghost is to knock everyone out before the game checks for you being in a ghost scenario.īut yeah the non-lethal takedown is 50 XP as I recall, 125 for a double takedown, so 10 or so takedowns would meet the non-lethal approach. ![]()
