This guy radiates boredom, but despite his monotone emotions, he’s a skilled conversationalist capable of negotiating with terrorists and bending people to his will. Jensen’s personality mirrors that of The Matrix’s Neo. Most of these characters have interesting stories to tell, and many of the secrets that are found provide extensive backstory for the world and its locals.
They may give a canned response, or they may seek help and offer up a secondary mission to take on. Every character in the game, whether it’s a bum digging through a trashcan or a security guard positioned on a helipad, can be talked to. The Blade Runner-esque environments are packed with high-tech architecture and a sense of despair hangs over the proceedings. I know this doesn’t sound like an enthralling activity, but the soaring architecture in each city produces multi-tiered exploration across rooftops, into the backrooms of stores, through seedy alleys and into heavily populated living quarters. I still have several secret locations I want to return to scribbled in my notepad.Įxploring the cities is one of this game’s most rewarding experiences.
Almost every environment dangles tasty carrots in front of the player some are obtainable from the outset, others require backtracking once the player reaches higher ranks for hacking or strength. I loved how often I found myself debating if I should take a risk for a potential reward. Along the way, you can loot offices, hack computers, and uncover additional weapons, items, and story content. The reward isn’t just the satisfaction of getting through a zone undetected. Moving like a ghost gets the blood pumping, especially in heavily fortified areas loaded with patrols, turrets, and cameras. I often found myself hiding behind a crate to learn an enemy’s routine before engaging. A fantastic cover mechanic and unpredictable enemy behavior enhance this approach, but it requires patience. Sneaking through rival office spaces and biotechnology labs is an exhilarating experience. After a rival biotech company injures him in an attack, he unwillingly receives augmentations, putting him in a unique position to understand the costs and benefits of the technology.įor most of my first of two complete playthroughs of Human Revolution I relied on stealth tactics to achieve my goals. Players take the role of Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT officer turned security specialist for biotech company Sarif Industries, who finds himself intertwined with the conspiracies. The debate is at a tipping point, and what happens next won’t be determined by the people but rather the biotechnology companies and the corrupt governments that back them. In the year 2027 (25 years before the events in the first game in the series), society is struggling with the ethics of augmenting the human body with mechanical implants. In addition to the vast amounts of player choice, Human Revolution weaves an amazing story filled with heady techno-babble. Unfortunately, not all of these mechanics work as well as others, and your enjoyment is tied to how heavily you lean on the more polished portions. An entire courtyard of civilians could end up dead, or the only casualty could be a computer’s security system getting hacked. Depending on how a scenario is approached, individualized tactics can produce varied results that impact the story, obtainable loot, and shape of the world. Throughout most of this adventure, the player is empowered with an authoritative role over the gameplay flow.
