Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Summary

I have played this game a little bit, getting through the first couple of missions and maybe spending a grand total of 3-4 hours. I have never "gotten into it" as they say, and generally don't have a high opinion of it.

I hope this will be like a couple of other recent attempts, though, where I start playing and them I'm all like, "oooh, now I get it.". Good examples would be Cyberpunk and Vampire Survivors.

Expectations

This game has lots of commentary and relevance to today's world, more so than I myself had 10 years ago, last time I played it. I expect my interest in the story to overpower my lack of interest in the general gameplay.

On the other hand, I really don't like hyper stealth games where I am constantly getting killed until I figure everything out.

Nevertheless, I am going to give it the college try, and this time intend to take notes and try to understand what is happening amongst the various characters and entities within the game.

I think I'll look around online for a bit of lore contexting, just to make sure I don't have to play the first game to understand all this BS.
