kitthirteen Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I thought about getting this a long time ago, but there were mixed reviews and I got onto other things... But just when I was getting tired of my gaming library I popped this in and IT IS GREAT! It's not just a good stealth game, but it's also very open-ended in terms of which abilities you choose to upgrade and how that impacts play. Also the ability to choose your dialogue (and thus affect how everyone interacts with you and how the story unfolds) is something that I hadn't seen much of lately; very nice to have it back. Every game gets some bad reviews but I don't know why anybody would complain about this one. Seriously, give it a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wdjat Prinny Doods Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This game is really good, one of my all time favorites. Only dowside to the game were the boss fights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meacham Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 That's why when it comes to gaming, only your own opinion is the valued one. It got horrible reviews but all people I know that played it. Loved it. I loved it to, it's a quality game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yeah, I love games that gives you the choice of doing things with stealth or just killing them all. This is also why I usually never listen to reviews, I'll just look-up a video or something & judge it for myself, actually the main reason I even got this game in the first place was because I seen Square Enix on the cover, & I never regretted it once, same story for Nier.

ShogunCroCop Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I didn't like it. But I also only did the first mission. It sounds like it's worth giving a second chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidson2004 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Gotta give this a shot. I think I got it from PS+ a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Wait... it got bad reviews? This only proves that one should never trust reviews... ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacJunegrand Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I've never seen a bad review for this game. Hell, it has a 90 score on metacritic. Are you sure you're not thinking of Deus Ex: Invisible War? That one is the black sheep of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonwagonX Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I thought the game was really good as well I got it free with playstation plus and was not expecting it to be as great as it was. The only thing that bothered me was when I was trying to go for the pacifist trophy. The game would glitch and make knocked out enemies die for no apparent reason...so I had to keep checking every single enemy I knocked out to make sure they were still alive....that sucked. Finally got it though and was worth it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Missed it when it was free with plus, think 10$ brand new for it is worth it? also not directors cut though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game gets some bad reviews but I don't know why anybody would complain about this one. Seriously, give it a try. HR is easily one of my top 3 games I've ever played, and I've played a lot of games in all my years. It's extremely politicised yet presented in such a way it's mind-blowing. I won't make any excuses that I fully believe that much of the world is why it is because of shady individuals, corporations and organisations much like how Sarif describes it in one of the scenes with Jensen. To go even further, the devs are actually so spot-on that I would be willing to bet that's why the game got the complaints it did, because that's how deep it runs. Nothing I've played since hasn't even come close other than a few select titles. The original Deus Ex I shouldn't even have to comment on. While I haven't played it personally, there are some very well made video reviews on YT that definitely make you rise an eyebrow - the military industrial complex and all that. Graphically it's pure shit by today's standards, but fuck me what a story.
