Square Enix’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution is scheduled to hit local store shelves tomorrow, and what better way to celebrate the release of what is shaping up to be one of 2011’s major releases than giving away a free copy of the augmented edition, along with a Deux Ex: Human Revolution T-shirt?

Billed as a first-person action-RPG, Deus Ex: Human Revolution takes place in 2027, 25 years before the original game. Biomechanical augmentations are the order of the day, and players will be able to customize protagonist Adam Jensen as they progress through the storyline. There will be numerous paths to approaching objectives, including “combat”, “stealth”, “hacking” and “social”.

So far reviews have been highly positive, and the PC version is sitting on a Metacritic score of 89/100. Here is what some reviewers have had to say:

While Deus Ex: Human Revolution can’t be the revelation that Deus Ex was in 2000, it’s an achievement nonetheless. It’s a visionary, considered piece of work, and while my thoughts drift to the things that could have been and the compromises made due to the possibilities of video games in 2011, they’re just as quick to consider playing through it again. Human Revolution is a smart, rewarding piece of transhumanist noir that does justice not just to Deus Ex, but to the fiction that inspired it. – IGN

This is an extensive (20-plus hours) game that by the very nature of its complexity invites replay. It is true that many of its individual elements don’t withstand close inspection. But those elements add up to an impressive and absorbing adventure that invites you to improvise. – Gamespot

With its flowing, open approach to mission structure, thoroughly engrossing story and gorgeous visuals, this is the kind of game that all others should strive to be. While there are some elements that don’t feel quite as developed as they should have been, and augmentation is more Hobson’s choice than true choice, Human Revolution provides a level of quality that only the most adamant cynic could fail to be impressed by. More importantly, it is everything a fan of Deus Ex could want in a game. – Destructoid
