A lukewarm recommendation to what feels more like a tribute, than an official entry of a beloved series. Is it a timid step towards its roots, after so many lows? Or a stagnation that’s here to stay?
I usually don’t recommend reboots, remakes and/or dubious sequels since the formula teaches that one new game that has the same name of another is more often than not a pile of garbage… I’m glad there are some rare (if not unique) exceptions out there.
If Silent Hill and DOOM had a baby, it would be this game. Trite jokes aside, good ol’ OG idSoftware nailed every gameplay and aesthetical aspect, overall it’s as good as the classic formula can get.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution isn’t a bad game, but it really doesn’t feel like it should be: generic plot, bland level design, monotonous gameplay, forgettable soundtrack… Pretty much the opposite of the original. What a shame.
It’s always magic when a few polygons can convey serene thoughts like “wow, I wish this location was real”, or “I want to live there!”
Did you ever felt oddly nostalgic, awed or charmed by evocative places in videogames? As if those polygons could swallow your soul into a dreamlike limbo?
