10 Video Game Sequels That Didn’t Let Fans Down

4. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Okay, so technically this is prequel as it's set 25 years before the events of Deus Ex, but it's a game that fans of the original were waiting for after the slightly disappointing Deus Ex: Invisible War. It wouldn't be totally fair to say that Invisible War let fans down; it was much of the same after the original, but Human Revolution is the true sequel that didn't disappoint. Managing to juggle free choice with a strong storyline, Human Revolution let you play as Adam Jensen, a security officer at Human Augmentation specialists Sarif Industries. Jensen is to investigate a terrorist attack on one of Sarif's headquarters, giving players the job of unravelling the conspiracies and dealing with the ethical implications. Careful cover based combat gelled seamlessly with the use of augmentations to create a thoroughly enjoyable gameplay experience. Human Revolution stuck to the same combination of free-choice RPG, action and shooting that had everyone hooked on the original, but after eleven years brought the game right up to date.
