 Deus Ex Human Revolution is an action RPG developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix it was released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in August 2011, it is the third game in the franchise and is a first person shooter, stealth and role playing hybrid the player will take on the role of Adam Jensen a mechanically augmented chief of security who works for a biotechnology company Sarif industries, they will have the opportunity to explore multiple city environments. The player will be granted experience which are called praxis kits and the player can use these after completing quests which will allow the player to customize Adam to their liking, choosing from a selection of different augments either stealth based or heavier combat or the player can combine them for a balanced mixture between the 2.

 The player will have the opportunity to have conversations with many NPC's who inhabit the world and choose from a selection from different dialogue choices some of which can change the way the story plays out for the character. The game is set in the not so distant future of 2027 and the story focuses on the story of Adam Jensen who is employed at Sarif industries a company working on the development of artificial organs which are named augmentations, An attack on Sarif industries leaves Adam badly injured and to save him the CEO of the company David Sarif subjects Adam to extensive augmentations, six months later Adam has now recovered and has a lot more advanced augmentations.


 The trailer begins with Adam Jensen lying prone on a table badly injured it appears that his spirit then leaves his body flying into the sun the gloomy lighting over the top of the building as Adam bursts out is great to set the atmosphere, this links very well with the music that was picked for this trailer seems like something you would expect to see in a horror film as the danger approaches, the animations within this part are great as Adam Jensen bursts through the roof his arms that were severely damaged inside the building start to gradually form these glowing angel-like wings. As he approaches the sun they seem to burn into demon like effect as the camera cuts he then suddenly awakens in his bedroom from a dream looking down at his augmentations. We then see a flash back of the attack on Sarif industries and the day his ex-girlfriend disappeared, as this is all happening we hear the inner monologue of Adam Jensen talking about the tragic events that took place and what he aims to do to bring justice to the world as he sets out on his journey to fix the city. The camera cuts between the destruction and Adam work really well to keep the viewer intrigued as to what's going on, we see a close up shot of Adams open arm augmentation the animation in this sequence is really great as we see all the different parts moving in his arm as it closes. This trailer works really well to sell the game to the viewer building up a sense of intrigue and anticipation for the games release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq5KWLqUewc

 Deus Ex Mankind Divided released in August 2016 for the PS4, Xbox One and PC the game is set in 2029 taking place 2 years after the events of human revolution, the story focuses on the events happening in Prague, Dubai and London where several factions play major roles in the world one of which is the Illuminati

a group of corporate elites that influence human society for their own benefit, however they are being stopped by the juggernaut collective a group of hacktivists led by Janus a shadowy character.

 The trailer for Mankind Divided has some great animations as there are several points throughout the trailer that we see people who are augmented and the robotics within their augments look realistic with the jagged motion of the technology working within them. The flying drones that hover around make sudden jerky motions adding to their robotic appearance.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfV01sTqB68
