Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Awesome Cyberpunk Games To Play RIGHT NOW
10. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
This prequel to Deus Ex released in 2011 to wide critical acclaim is probably the game which bears the closest resemblance to the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077.
The game has a gorgeous aesthetic; sprawling cities filled with art deco buildings coloured gold and black. It’s a stark contrast to the original Deus Ex and its grimmer, more rundown setting.
Adam Jenson, the head of security for Seraph Industries is left for dead when several cybernetically augmented mercenaries assault Seraph’s headquarters, leaving dozens of employees dead. They’re able to save Adam’s life but only through replacing most of his body with machinery. Luckily, this has no detrimental effect on Adam and simply serves to turn him into a badass for the remainder of the game.
Players can level up and buy new “augments” (read: perks or feats) to tailor their Adam Jensen to be more effective at stealth or killing depending on how you’d like to approach the game. One ludicrously overpowered upgrade transforms Jensen into a bomb.
Human Revolution’s sequel, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, underwhelmed both critically and commercially - albeit by the high standards set by its predecessor - and once again the franchise has been mothballed , likely waiting for an inevitable reboot.
