Deus Ex
Robbie Morrison, Trevor Hairsine, Sergio Sandoval · 2011
Somewhere between his work in Detroit and his first trip to Hengsha, Adam Jensen is sent to recover the kidnapped niece of his boss, David Sarif. The job drags up a mystery that goes back to his years on the Detroit police SWAT team, before the augmentations. Collects the six-issue Human Revolution comic series.
What this adds if you've played the games
This is a side mission slotted into the middle of Human Revolution, with Jensen and Sarif as you know them from the game. The useful part is the look at Jensen's SWAT past, which the game mostly just mentions. The story is rushed and the romance subplot feels forced, which is the common complaint, so treat it as a quick extra rather than something the games need. It's short enough for one evening.
Where it fits
- Ties intoDeus Ex: Human Revolution
A side story set in the middle of Human Revolution, after Detroit and before Hengsha. It assumes you know the game's first act, so play the game first.
