Deus Ex: Human Revolution Magazine Review

According to CVG, the very first print review of Deus Ex: Human Revolution comes to us via PC Gamer, where they’ve called it “a game that puts almost everything else in the genre to shame” and handed out an impressive score of 94%. I haven’t received my latest issue yet, so we’ll have to take their word for it:

In an eight-page spectacular, PC Gamer’s Human Revolution review calls the game “a dark, cool and beautiful revival of an incredible game.” It praises Eidos for creating a game with a clear respect for the players that rewards original thinking and exploration.

The mag – which is with subscribers today – concedes that it’s not quite as good as the original because thanks to a “slight shift away from improvisation and wide open spaces”, which stops it “just short.”

Regardless, Human Revolution is described as “the Deus Ex of our age, a genuinely worthy prequel, and a game that puts almost everything else in the genre to shame.”
