I don't like this idea at all though - and it feels like a big kick in the teeth at milking more money on an already expensive (and small/short) game. Micro-transactions are something you can simply ignore - to no real detriment to your game. A real shame, to be honest, since I really did want a little more for my money here. It does feel quite short - and I worry that the DLC-train will be the way they fix this. The same could be said about the games length. This is both a blessing and a curse because on the one hand, it gave them an opportunity to really flesh out and add detail to the game world that IS there, but on the other hand it feels like there is more to this game than there is. The entire game also takes place in only one really area "hub", as opposed to the grander style of the other games.
The story is much more contained than previous games in the series. I must say I came to really enjoy it in the end, after taking the time to invest in certain "must-have" augs. This, I found much easier to play with and so stuck with it for the rest of the game. After an initial play about with the different styles, I settled into a more tactful, stealthy pacifist style of play. It would, however, have been nice to have the option to go Rambo without the AI destroying you in seconds. Now, to be fair, Deus Ex has (at least previously) tried to discourage this kind of play in favour of being more tactful, so I cannot really fault it there. I found the "shooting" path in this game to actually be one of the most difficult ways to play - since enemy AI Leeroy at you all at once and you quickly find yourself outnumbered and outmanoeuvred - even with all your cool augs to help. Secret tunnels, sneaking, shooting, persuading, exploring and using your arsenal of cool "augs" are all options. Pretty much everything you do in this game can be accomplished in more than one way. As with HR, you get the choice of how you want to play the game. Infact, it is so similar that you will sometimes wonder if you are infact playing a prettier DLC for the previous game. It plays very similar to the previous title (Human Revolution) in all respects. The game once again lets you take control of Adam Jenson and either shoot or sneak your way around in traditional Deus Ex stye. While these things are far from ideal, it certainly does not warrant the amount of negativity generated by it.
It really isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is - and indeed most of the criticism seems to be aimed at micro-transactions and performance/crashing. It really isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is - and indeed most of I am shocked that this game has been so poorly received by the PC crowd.
