Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut
A personal favorite.
Definitely a more accessible game than its predecessors, but retains the beautiful pseudoscience that made the first one so fun. Once again you play as an augmented super-agent. Once again you can pacifist run the game, and once again you can choose to interpret that as a challenge to knock every enemy unconscious and stuff them into an air vent. The game is notionally a “shooter” and there are a lot of guns, but the game clearly wants you to play as a stealth ninja.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an immersive stealth/action adventure game, where you’re a detective in a Cyberpunk setting. And that’s all I want to tell you about the plot of this game, because Deus Ex has one of the most interesting game plots I’ve had the pleasure of playing. Gunplay and stealth are basic, but the verity of options to tackle infiltration is what makes the game interesting to play. Character models and animations aren’t the best, and the controls are wack, but you can rebind the controls so its kind of a non issue. Overall I really enjoyed my time with Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I’m excited to see what the sequel & prequel have to offer. 8/10 Great Title

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Square Enix decided not make any more Deus Ex games because this didn’t sell Call of Duty numbers. Thanks, Square Enix, now you have zero games I give a shit about.

Absolutely love the series. Played the original two (Deus Ex, and Invisible war), and the “recent” two (Human Revolution and Mankind Divided) Story is so brilliantly well done, and you are actually influencing outcomes and changes to the story. Don’t set Mankind Divided to use DirectX12 tho as I had issues. Lots of figuring out how to get around things… be patient as you will usually find multiple alternate ways to deal with missions. Sadly may be ages before anything continues with the series as is a massive undertaking to produce games with intricate story-lines and branches like this I am sure.

I dont play stealth games often but this was actually not that bad. Apart from the gore it has. The enemies AI walk into thier own traps HAHA probably the most funny thing about this game I would say you should probably buy this when its on discount otherwise there are better games. Good game. Needs more Updates and Levels

Kohate
Update to review:
Well well well, I reviewed at 3 hrs in originally, and estimated there’d be another ~3 or so hours of content and achievement hunting to go.
Now I’m 11 hrs in, thanks to further updates to the game play modes and multiple ways the game can be completed with different endings.
What a gem this turned out to be.
Original review:
Fun little game. Great for the value/cost.
It has quite a high level of polish for the price - various voice over actors, lots of sci-fi and semi-organic/cyber assets in play, many usual tropes like steam vents and so on. The game works and runs well. Enough tension to make you fumble and fall.

That son-of-a-gun DSD’s gone and done it again! He took my smeared brain matter from my playthroughs and obsession, mind you- most notably of Our Secret Below (OSB), INNER and he reconstructed them using some advanced tech! Being a patron of his work, seeing his tireless efforts in creating meaningful yet underrated haunting experiences has been inspiring!

Quadrant
Summary (TL;DR):
Quadrant succeeds in delivering a short but tense first-person horror adventure, provided you’re not expecting a $5 game to measure up to the genre’s AAA heavy-hitters.
What Rules -
-
Solid Horror Adventure gameplay sprinkled with small bits of action, stealth, puzzling, and (limited) exploration
-
Good level design with some effective use of light and shadow
-
Great music and overall decent sound design helps cement Aether Research Facility’s creepy, desolate atmosphere
– Real player with 8.6 hrs in game
Status: 100% Complete
Quadrant is an episodic first person horror game made by a very small team. Unlike many other horror games on the market, it doesn’t rely on jumpscares and cash from screaming YouTube kids, instead it focuses on the adventure itself, story and atmosphere. It was supposed to be a 5-episode deal, but then the whole story was cut to just three episodes (the price has been lowered as well).
When I started to play it, the game reminded me a lot of the first F.E.A.R. game, by the Episode 2 it already was like Half-Life 1. Speaking of which, if you played They Hunger mod for Half-Life 1, this game and that mod has lots of things in common.

Solarix
IN A WORD: MAYBE
IN SHORT:
WHAT TO EXPECT: Single-player. First-person perspective. Sci-fi horror adventure. Interesting plot/story. Good narration and voice-overs. Linear gameplay with poor combat and limited stealth mechanics. Poor graphics and terrible textures. Minimal inventory items. A few non-gamebreaking bugs.
ACHIEVEMENTS: EASY TO MISS.
STATUS: COMPLETE.
WHEN TO BUY: DEPENDS.

I rarely write any reviews, but since I was asked so polite (By Pulsetense Games itself) - I accepted it. I can only say how I felt about the game. Sorry for any bad english, not my native language you know… :p
Solarix is a scifi horror game, made by the Pulsetense Games, and anyone who has played Systemshock 2, may notice, that these have something in common. After all Solarix was influenced by it, one of the most epic scifi-horror-adventure game. And Solarix does it well for indie game. Not entirely the same though. No adventure game, but dark creepy atmosphere, that has some horror elements, and well written story - that sometimes leave you puzzled on what to believe. Unlike many other indie games in my opinion, that tend to be bad, this one works good. But I have to admit on the horror factor, I didn’t felt scared all that much.
