    I've been having a great time revisiting Mankind Divided on PC having previously only played the console version. 60 fps, short load times, improved mouse and keyboard controls, it's been a real treat. PC really improves the experience, so I bought the entire series bundle on Steam since it's super cheap when it goes on sale.

    Just fired up Human Revolution and.... yikes, so much worse than I remember, and I've always held it in much lower regard to pretty much everyone else. Much uglier than what I remember with sterile, flatly lit environments. I keep thinking I have some shadow quality or SSAO slider set to minimum, but as far as I can tell I have everything maxed. Toggle only iron sights are a goddamn tragedy, and I had to do some tweaking to remove a stupid stuttering glitch when aiming or using a computer or keypad. A small aspect from Mankind Divided I sorely miss is unsticking from cover. In MD it's fairly intuitive. If you hit a key to move away from cover you'll unstick and return to first-person view, but in HR your only option is to hit the cover button again, THEN move away. And then there's having to use the movement keys to peek out of cover rather that hitting the aim button like every other game with a cover system. It just feels clunky and dated. And I haven't even gotten to the game proper with it's overly cramped city street environments and broken exp rewards. I'm bamboozled that so many people prefer Human Revolution to Mankind Divided.

    Finally giving this a go. First impressions are kind of cheesy, HUD and menus are atrociously dated. Certainly takes a lot of inspiration from the first MGS. I mean the dude looks and sounds like cyberpunk Solid Snake. Control's are a bit twitchy for me especially with how precise you need to be to pick things up and such. Granted I've only played about two hours at this point, we shall see.

      Editing … Well if anything JC Denton from the first game is the character inspired by Solid Snake, and Adam Jensen is inspired by Denton.

    “If you ask my wife, she’d tell you that I screamed in frustration throughout much of Human Revolution,” Spector says. “There were three or four things that I would have done differently and those three or four things kind of bug me.”

    So, what are those things?

    “They had a modal cover system that I’m not crazy about – just let the player hide and make the AI smart enough to know,” he explains. “They didn’t give you a free [cost] weapon, so even kicking someone took energy. The AI didn’t time out effectively, which meant that once you failed a stealth attempt, you were in a shooter experience for the rest of the mission. Oh, and the boss battles. They trained you that there were multiple ways to solve problems, and then they give you a boss battle where you just have to kill the thing.

    “Here’s the deal, the real bottom line. When I got to the end, I felt like I had had a Deus Ex experience. The team up there was really respectful of what we wanted to do in the original game and I think they did a really good job, with the exception of just a handful of things that frustrated me.”

      Editing … I didn't like how small the city environments felt. That's pretty much the sole reason I enjoyed Mankind Divided more. I also don't like how the exp rewards skew your playstyle. Just head for the objective until you get your "Ghost" and "Smooth Operator" bonuses and then backtrack and knock everyone da fuck out for more exp then grab all da loot. Should I play lethally or non-lethally? Well the only thing it really changes is the exp, so do the one that gives you more, duh! Hey, I have the code to this door, but imma hack it anyway because that gives more exp! I had the most fun with HR when I used the exploit at the beginning of the game that allows you to hack the computer over and over for exp, which then freed me up to play however I wanted.

      Editing … I loved Deus Ex HR until I got to the boss fights. There's only one way to get past them--kill them. It just ruins the whole "do it your way" concept of the whole series. The only thing that I liked was the golden tint of the cyberpunk visuals. Like dude, it's like the Matrix, but we're all golden, man...Whoa.

    Great sequel (or prequel) to a great game. Good non-linear mature story, tons of choices, you can finish without killing people.

    It's hard to swallow that history will probably forget some of the greatest games of last gen, like Deus Ex 3, #Viva Piñata and #Enslaved: Odyssey to the West ...

      Editing … It baffles me how quickly Deus Ex: HR faded out of everyone's memory. In fact, most people forgot about it after only a few months and it was barely mentioned anywhere as a GotY contender, even if it got praised upon release and sold surprisingly well. Fantastic game though.

    I'm having trouble writing these descriptions for my top games because I want to get right back in and play this one. The director's cut of Human Revolution adds in a few new elements that were missing from the original release, such as ways of beating bosses using the skills you have put points in. The Wii U game pad functionality is also extremely useful for getting around undetected. Plotwise, this game plays out like the best Robocop game another universe gave us: Adam Jenson is severely wounded and is given augments that can potentially make him into a robotic superman. The only problem with this game is how heavily it wants you to stealth around instead of go into situations with guns blazing. You still get EXP and develop if you chose the lethal approach but the optimal approach is always to stealth, which is fine since there are a few different ways to do so presented in each mission.
