Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Very few role playing games actually allow you to play the way you want, but Deus Ex: Human Revolution most definitely exceeds in that aspect among countless others. From a vast variety of dialogue options, side missions, and additional intel, to its swift and personalized gameplay, you truly feel like you are in control of Adam Jensen’s story. You can be a ruthless killer with a warm personality, or you can be a ghost that slips by unseen while making cocky comments whenever given the chance.
Whereas most role-playing games are set in a fantasy world filled with magical creatures, Deus Ex: Human Revolution likes to interpret a more or less realistic image of our future where physical augmentations continuously blur the line between human and robot. Its black-and-gold world is a joy to explore, but so is its surprisingly dark story that grabs hold of you from the start and beautifully develops as you play.
