Deus Ex: Human Revolution

StreamerHouse logged 648 viewers during Deus Ex: Human Revolution sessions in 2016, five years after Eidos Montreal's cyberpunk prequel earned 89-90 across platforms. The 2011 release was critically acclaimed for player-driven plot, freedom of choice, and genre-bending gameplay—critics called it "a landmark in game design" and "an imperfect, complex and ambitious reminder of what a game can be when it's unafraid." It sold 2.18 million by November 2011, got a Director's Cut in 2013 that scored even higher (91 on PC), then spawned the 2016 sequel Mankind Divided. That sequel's "fairly lukewarm" reception and lower sales put the franchise in limbo as Square Enix shifted Eidos Montreal to Avengers development. StreamerHouse playing it in 2016 coincided with Mankind Divided's launch, catching the series at its peak influence before corporate decisions shelved it. The original Human Revolution remains the cyberpunk standard—deep RPG systems, multiple approaches, and consequences that actually matter.
