We may never get another Deus Ex game featuring Elias Toufexis’ lovely voice as Adam Jensen again, but right now you can snag Human Revolution, the debut of our sunglass-wearing badass cyborg, for less than five bucks and, since it’s on GOG, there’s no DRM, meaning you can back up copies of it, responsibly lend it to your friends and family members, or just enjoy the fact that you actually own this copy. Featuring a brand new protagonist, Human Revolution wound back the clock on some of the series’ far future, cyberpunk tech, showing how both society and secretive shadowy conspiracy groups would respond to the development of cybernetic body components and the “augmented” people who choose or need to use them. While it arguably doesn’t reach the same heights as the original Deus Ex, and doesn’t offer as much of an im-sim experience as the 2003 sequel Invisible War, I found its story to be a bit more thought provoking and grounded, even if it does still end up being about the illuminati.
