Choice. Many games provide the illusion of it; fewer deliver it in any
meaningful way. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of those few: a
first-person shooter/stealth/espionage/role-playing hybrid that allows
you to overcome obstacles as you see fit. Let's say you require access
to a guarded apartment building. You can shoot your way past the
patrolling sentries. But maybe you'd rather sneak past them unnoticed,
silently knocking them out as you go; hack an electronic lock on a side
entrance; or find a hidden vent and shimmy your way inside. Play the way
you want: It's up to you. In Human Revolution, this kind of flexibility
can be awe inspiring, but like with many ambitious games, the
individual parts and pieces aren't always satisfying on their own terms.
Neither the shooting nor the stealth is best in class, and a number of
flaws disrupt your suspension of disbelief. But even if the details
don't stand up to scrutiny, taken as a whole, Human Revolution is an
excellent game with an unsettling vision of the future we face.
