The neo-noir atmosphere of New Detroit is dizzying and inspiring. This is the dreary, cyberpunk future, after all. They need to be able to develop better plans among themselves, or rely more on lethal machines to do the work for them. They need to want me dead, not just want to sit behind a box and hope I go away.
#TVTROPES DEUS EX HUMAN REVOLUTION SERIES#
Taking lessons from series like SOCOM, Metal Gear, or even Miyasaki’s Souls games, Eidos has to give enemies a killer instinct. The counterbalance is supposed to be your lack of general combat prowess, but if the enemy is too stupid to take advantage of your weakness when you’re inevitably caught, then the risk disappears, leaving only reward. Your stealth skills, like cloaking for small amounts of time and jamming camera feeds, are incredibly useful when you focus on them. The pile of casualties leftīy your shadowy wrath would be more humorous than morbid, as picking guards off one by one became more of a foregone conclusion the stronger you got. In stealth, the patrols were so one note and predictable that you could lure them into traps by accident.
If they left cover, it was to run in aimless circles, usually trying to get back into the position they just left. While behind a low wall or a storage crate, they’d go to the “spray bullets wildly” well way too often. When it was time for open gunplay, enemies would mindlessly stick to cover more often than not. No matter if you were playing it quiet with stealth or loud with guns blazing, corporate mercs and street goons alike never fully embraced the wide array of tactical options that their robot parts should afford them. If there is any one thing that Human Revolution consistently dropped the ball on, it was enemy behaviors. If these problems didn’t make it into the next installment, people probably wouldn’t mind. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will pick up where the first left futuristic first person shooter-role playing game left off, following Adam Jensen out of the Golden Age of human augmentation and into a dark and uncertain future for people who have robots where their body parts should be.Īs much praise as Human Revolution got for being inventive and moody, there were some glaring issues. After an eerie Twitch stream earlier this week, Square Enix officially announced the follow up to their 2011 smash hit Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
