Deus Ex human revolution is an amazing game made by people who really didn't want to make a Deus Ex game. The story's ok albeit very 1 dimensional, the only hot-buttoned societal issue that everyone is talking about are augmentations. Unlike in the first game where all aspects of society were analysed and deconstructed like the role of god and government, corporate bureaucracy, the argument as to whether or not the US is in a plutocracy the list goes on. Human Revolution never really shows any deeper meaning behind the augmentation argument aside from people being for or against it. The gameplay definitely feels more modern for better or for worse, but the story lacks any sort of weight and substance compared to the original.
