How good is Deus Ex: Human Revolution's story?

I've read the reviews and seen all the comments, but no one has discussed the story much yet in terms of is it "good" or "deep". The soundtrack sounds deep and haunting and if this is any indication of how the story is, then I want to buy the game. Some of my favorite games are favorites because of the stories (entirely story for Metal Gear Solid haha) I've seen and enjoy how the gameplay is but my question is, how is the story?How good is Deus Ex: Human Revolution's story?
It's a very deep and philosophical story that makes you think about the social and political upheavals in present day. Games usually don't do that. It's mainly about the issue of transhumanism, the role of government, cyberpunkism, issue of all powerful corporations, elite secret socities, and human destiny. The final battle and endings can seem quick though after everything you did throughout the length of the game. Though personally Deus Ex 1's story is still the best and most socially relevant even though it's 10 years old.



If you like Metal Gear then Deus Ex will remind you of it. The level of detail is amazing.
It's not a bad story, if you ask me. What's so refreshing about it is how morality is dealt with in the game.

Most games nowadays have that black/white morality system, where you have choices but it's always either a) feed the puppy and bring it home or b) kick the puppy to death.

In this game, you instead get a conflict between pro-augmentations and anti-augmentations. Choices in the story barely matter in the long run, consequence is almost non-existent (you can kill as many hobos as you like without losing "good points" or any repercussions), but I think the issue is dealt rather cleverly.

It's nothing amazing, but it's at least refreshing. It's not a mindf**k like Metal Gear Solid is.

edit: Also as you may have noticed the voice acting is rather strange. I don't think horrible, just strange. It's better than the original Deus Ex's, but equally memorable in its own way =] Surprisingly enough there is pretty accurate Mandarin voice acting.How good is Deus Ex: Human Revolution's story?
The soundtrack is fitting and the story is somewhat fulfilling. The game states there are multiple ways the play the story, HOWEVER these options do not impact the overall plot in any way. You can choose to be stealthy or offensive, but it won't change any cutscenes. Similar to how dialogue options don't alter character behavior much. That is something you should take into consideration. Other than that, I found the story to be quite interesting. The beginning felt a little quick and didn't give too much back story. Also some of the voice acting can be painful. Overall I think it's a pretty good story.
Its a very dark game. Somewhat interesting storyline but got bored of it quickly.



Everyone has their own opinion about anything.

Mine is i did not enjoy the game as well as i thought i would based on seeing the trailer and reading the script so i deleted it.

The story can be a bit branching, but from my experience, it's an enjoyable time. If you like sci-fi'ish writing, with a bit of a philosophical twist, you'll like it.
