Deus Ex: Human Revolution vs Half Life 2
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the game that had literally blown up the Deus Ex franchise, rocketing the series to fame. Seriously, what's not to love about Deus Ex: Human Revolution? The game not only retains but also improved on many aspects that had defined the franchise, from its stealth-heavy gameplay and the amazing arsenal of augments to its choice-driven, moral dilemma-infused, well-crafted and non-linear storyline, but what made this game really stand out is its incredibly immersive, cyberpunk world that is oddly very relatable (despite being set in the future and all) and a dark yet charismatic protagonist (a bit like the Max Payne in the first 2 games) that everyone can truly feel for.As usual, the game's story has many ethically-charged decisions and choices that you'll have to make, which in turn will result in very different outcomes and sometimes, may even trigger a cascade of other events. You can also opt to avoid killing anyone in your gameplay (a full stealth run) or you could simply end every encounter with a blood bath. The best part in this game though is that at the very end, your every decision will affect the overall summary of your character's very being.
It's not at all surprising to see how Deus Ex: Human Revolution has managed to reach out and attract the interest of so many gamers. The game is incredibly well-designed and created and every bit of detail in the game is simply exquisite! If you want to get into the series, this is THE game to buy.
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
