    The Missing Link is one of the best DLC releases ever. Even though it's a bit pricey, it's very much worth the price. There's a lot of stuff to do, interesting combat and best of all, the new in-house made boss fight is infinitely more fun than the useless bosses at the original Human Revolution. [Nov 2011]

    The Missing Link is one of those add-ons, that shine a brighter light on all that DLC business. Although the amount of money that Square Enix wants for it seems big, the price-quality ratio is very good - DLCs with that much content are a rarity. The Missing Link is also a great opportunity to see how great the new Deus Ex still is. I became Adam Jensen again after a few weeks and it was such a pleasant experience, that I had to stick around till the end credits. Deus Ex is fantastic and this DLC is great.

    While The Missing Link does present an intriguing cast of mysterious characters, none of them feel particularly imperative or tug at your heartstrings.

    Copy-pasted decks and bays, as well as backtrack-heavy mission objectives will test your patience. This DLC adds nothing to the main storyline; it simply demonstrates the atrocities committed by Belltower in the name of surplus profit.

    Missing Link was fantastic, don't get me wrong. My main complaint: It was too short for the price tag. I love that the conspiracy thickens, and I look forward to even more DLC, I just hope the price tag isn't 15 bucks a pop. I just looked on my Steam account and Dues Ex: HR I've played for 90 hours, Missing Link: 12 hours. I love the new missions but would have rather release on this waited until a bit more conent was added to it. Expand
  2. Now that's what I call a real DLC. Brand new location, new storyline, more deus ex gameplay. The augmentations are reset, so it's harder playing without them at the beginning, but you can build new specialities than in the base game. Expand

    I gave DE:HR 9/10 so why 7/10 for the new content? It is not based on the price (the release price was crazy, that is true). It also brings interesting plot and adds a lot to the story from the base game. Even the setting, the beginning mainly, is good and finally something else than just offices. The problem is the length. It is quite short - 4+- hours, if you read everything/hack then a bit more. But that wouldn't be the biggest problem; mission design. Haven't seen that lazy done mission design in years. Half of the game running back and fort; get there -> get item -> go back -> use it -> go back. Expand
  4. Really boring levels plus the DLC does not integrate into the main game its like a standalone affair play it once and be done with it game over no replay value at all. Expand
