My Opinion
Dues Ex: Human Revolution was perhaps my favorite game of 2011, and I’m eagerly awaiting Eidos Monstreal’s confirmed follow up. The world they’ve expanded upon and fleshed out is an amazing place to visit, one with glorious gameplay and deep philosophical questions on human advancement—questions that are starting to seem less like science fiction and more like the future of our species as time goes on.
I skipped Deus Ex: The Fall because full, 3D shooters are generally unwieldy and hard to control on the iOS device, so I’m happy to get the chance to play this game with full mouse and keyboard support. It will help tide me over until the next big release in this series.
