With improvements to the game's flow and excellent second-screen support, the Director's Cut of Human Revolution is the definitive version of an excellent game. Human Revolution would bear replaying even without the enhancements it's a rare title that combines superb world building and storytelling with such dedication to player choice. I lost myself in the world of Human Revolution, and relished every opportunity to dive deeper into its mysteries.

We recommend Deux Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut to anyone with a Wii U who is looking for something a bit more oriented to adults than the rest of the Wii U library. If you have already played Human Revolution and cleared its DLC content (which is, of course, included in the Director's Cut), then you might feel that the additional features may not warrant its price tag. But fans of science fiction, stealth espionage and first person shooters that try to break the mold will definitely find something to love. Even better, this may segue new gamers into playing the original Deux Ex title, which undoubtedly deserves a remake of its own.

At it's core this might be the same game from 2011, but that's really not a bad thing. The setting is still awesome, the atmosphere is still immense, and you still have the same unnecessarily brutal melee attack that never fails to entertain. Some of the old issues remain, including some loading sequences that break up gameplay, and an excessive amount of onscreen waypoints, but all of the game's biggest flaws have been fixed. If you've not played Deus Ex: Human Revolution before, then this is the version you want, but I'd also recommend it to fans of the original, as it's still great fun on the second playthrough.
