Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a worthy successor to one of gaming’s best franchises. As Adam Jensen, you are a “security officer” for a biomechanical augmentation corporation in a cyberpunk near-future that’s remarkably yellow for some reason (I like to pretend that it’s because the game is directed by Stephen Soderbergh, which it is not).
Befitting the setting, there are secret societies, double agents, and gruff voice acting. You can approach the game however you like, relying on stealth or brutality to make your way through the game’s many international locales. There are rewards, however, for making it through the game without killing anyone (aside from bosses, but let’s face it, they’re jerks anyway).
Be sure to get the “Director’s Cut” version of the game, which adds some narrative and rebalances some boss encounters to be much less enraging.
