It's actually a lot of fun. You control a little alien directly, who can control another little alien (The Maw) on a leash. You both were abducted by some other aliens, and are trying to escape their planet. The goal is basically to feed The Maw to make him grow big enough that you can get to the next area. He can also eat different creatures which give him different abilities.

I'd say it's a bit of a puzzle game, but mostly lots of exploring and a bit of action. I would definitely recommend it.

hmmmm, sounds like it's worth the $2.99

thanks!
 
If people don't mind playing old games, I also highly urge you to buy the original Deus Ex. It's like Human Revolution, just loads better. Not that Human Revolution was bad, but the original is unrivaled.

You can skip Invisible War, though. It's shit.
 
While that is a crazy awesome price for a really good game, at the same time iirc the "Director's Cut" version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be out later this year and that version has all the crappy boss fights replaced by properly developed ones so I would highly recommend that. Although $3 is a CRAZY price. :)

Ooh that sounds good, the boss fights in Deus Ex HR were the biggest downfall of the game.
 
It would be nice if they gave all owners of the base game an update to incorporate the new boss fights, but that's just wishful thinking.

Still, it sucks that early adopters got shafted with the inferior version and have to shell out even more to get the superior version.

Why, what's wrong with the boss fights?

There was only one way to kill them brute force. I tried to do a take down from behind on the first boss and it just didn't work. Basically if you tried to stealth through the game and assigned your points to stealth abilities you were totally screwed in the boss fights.

Yeah I had the same problem. I had to resort to setting the difficulty down for some of the boss fights if a couldn't cheese my way through them. Worst part in an otherwise great game.
 
Oh no. I was looking forward to going the stealth route. Oh well I suppose a cover shooter is also good.
 
The game can be played stealthy, I played most of the non-boss battles stealthy. Just don't make a 100% stealth build.

As far as I remember, the boss fights were made by a different company than that which made the main game (No idea why)

That is strange.But it seems like a glaringly obvious oversight on their part, I must say.
 
I don't know what's up with this steam sale, but it's just seems to be the same things coming up over and over again. Torchlight 2 has come up 3 times already.
One thing that is nice though that I haven't noticed before is that when one title comes on special, the other games in the series also do.
