PC Gamer (UK) has what it proclaims to be the world's first review of DE:HR. They gave it 94%, but it's worth bearing in mind that they've been pimping the game for months and gave Dragon Age II the same score.
"Is it as good as Deus Ex? Not quite - that slight shift from improvisation and wide open space stops it just short. But it is absolutely the Deus Ex of our age, a genuinely worthy prequel, and a game that puts almost everything else in the genre to shame."
"I'd love to see Human Revolution show that smart can sell, and that gamers love freedom more than they love firing assault rifles at the Middle-East."
Verdict: 94%: "A dark, cool and beautiful revival of an incredible game. Smart, substantial, funny, creative and endlessly entertaining."
