With a great game comes demand for more content, and now with the third piece of DLC, The Missing Link, the Deus Ex HR team have finally delivered to a willing audience to step back into the shoes of Adam Jensen.
***WARNING - SPOILERS***
The opening scenes shows Adam being beaten furiously, blood seeping from his mouth as he cracks wise to those who interogate him. But as you finally try to escape, you fail, only to have your bars released and a man, only known as "The Hacker" or "???????????" talks to you and helps you escape the ship.
The DLC's highpoints are the excellent musical score, a few new bars being added to the DLC. Gameplay and the cutscenes, of course, are of excellent quality and forever changing, never staying in one point. Each gamer has a different playing style and with this DLC, it gives you many different choices. Run and Gun (Which is probably harder to do seeing as your limitations of ammunition), Sneak and Stab (Which will make the gameplay drag but more exciting or even a mixture of both. A slight warning to all, pick three weapons and hunt down for every scrap of ammo for them. You'll definately need it.
Overall, this DLC took me a decent five hours to complete, including side missions (Yes, there are side missions) and hunting for passwords and ammuniton. While these can be a bit dull, be on your toes, as enemies are closer than you think, and taking one quick step while standing will alert your enemies and most likely set the alarm off on you.
This, sadly, brings us to the bad points.
Firstly, even before I could start the game, my console continuously froze and wouldn't allow me to access the main menu. After asking the public, some people have experienced this problem and the simple fix is to redownload the DLC (Just press "Download again", deleting the entire DLC will just cause it to happen again and again) but this was slightly frustrating at first. Also, some of the open choice scenes with characters jolt without warning, at the end of each sentence. This makes the game feel unnatural and disturbs the flow of the game.
But this DLC is just the beginning for the Deus Ex HR crew. This gamer was overjoyed to finally has his hands on this new installment in the world of the series, but in the words of the creators, "We hope you stick around, cause we're just getting started...."
Out of 10, I gave The Missing Link DLC an 8/10
Good Points: 5 hours of Jensen goodness!
Great use of gameplay, power stripped
Fasinating ending...
Bad Points: Freezing Xbox makes me a sad panda...
Jolty scenes...
Lack of ammunition
