I enjoyed DXHR (have played through it several times now), but the art style is very derivative. I realize most video game art direction is, but with DXHR it was a bit too on the nose. The game lacked any sort of subtlety. The characters were transparent caricatures and the themes of the game boiled down to tropes. There was very little originality put into it. It's like their inspirational source material for the game, loosely applied it to the DX universe, and decided that was good enough.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the game, but that's because I saw a lot of cyberpunk dystopia stuff I loved from other media. I'll still buy the next Deus Ex, but it's not interesting enough for me to buy on release or pre-order. I'll be buying it on a steam sale once the "director's cut" or whatever is released.
