15 Best RPGs Of The Decade
12. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
It took eight years to get a sequel to the lacklustre Invisible War in 2003, but it was worth it. Eidos and Square Enix went back to the first game to see what made it great, taking as much inspiration as they could.
And when they did in 2011, it breathed new life into the world of cyber spies, human freedoms and the technological revolution. A prequel to the original, it shed more light on the fractal nature of enhanced cybernetics, the will of those who abuse it, and the hands that pull the strings behind the scenes.
It wasn't without fault though, with its infamously bad boss fights and sneaky mid-game DLC, but was later rectified in the Director's Cut. It created a wonderful title, where choice and playstyle really mattered. You had complete freedom to either sleuth it up and be a ghost, or Typhoon your way through every encounter.
It doesn't matter if Jensen asked for it or not, but how you decide to play, that mattered.
