Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link review
As grim as Adam Jensen's predicament is in The Missing Link, which sees him captured aboard a militaristic ship and stripped of his defining augmentations, it's easy to envision more inhospitable scenarios. An informed nemesis would solder shut every air vent, train his minions to peek around corners, and make sure that pocket secretaries stayed in their damn pockets. But where would our protagonists be if not for life-saving conveniences and bouts of enemy ineptitude? That's why it shouldn't surprise you to learn that Adam quickly makes his escape and becomes involved in a new mini conspiracy, adequately shaped for what feels like a condensed run through Deus Ex: Human Revolution. As before, you'll start out weak and inclined to move stealthily, and eventually shape yourself biologically to accommodate new tactics. What Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link provides in its narrative isolation is a creeping tension and a sense of uncertainty.%Gallery-136517%

Take a walk through Deus Ex: Human Revolution's Missing Link DLC
Eidos Montreal is so eager to prove that the "The Missing Link" offers a substantial, challenging addition to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, it'll let someone play a tiny bit of the DLC for you before it drops later this month.
Finding The Missing Link in Deus Ex's First DLC
I'm not sure if Deus Ex: Human Revolution's first add-on, "The Missing Link", could have stumbled into view more clumsily than it did. A sort of alternate reality game revealed its existence, but clever players figured out more than Square-Enix and Eidos Montreal bargained for, leaking the premise and "The Missing Link's" primary gameplay conceit without any sort of context. It really hurt the general excitement levels for one of the most well-received games of the year. I'm here to give you that context. And I might just be here to give you back some of that general excitement too. %Gallery-134718%
Deus Ex 'Missing Link' DLC gets a trailer, more details
Square Enix has shed some more light on Adam Jensen's retroactively mysterious disappearance covered in the upcoming "The Missing Link" downloadable content for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. As previously revealed, the DLC fills in a three-day chunk of Deus Ex, during which Jensen loses the use of his cybernetic augmentations. We assumed the DLC would include new characters and story, but today Square officially revealed a much more interesting tidbit: The ability to "rebuild Adam's augmentation set." In other words, players will be able to reapply those wasted Praxis points on more useful augmentations. We're guessing Jensen is still stuck with his most useless augmentation, however, that being his permanent sunglasses. "The Missing Link" will arrive next month.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution's 'Missing Link' DLC due in October
Though it's being outpaced by unglamorous leaks, the Deus Ex DLC drip-feed continues with a few more details on Human Revolution's upcoming add-on. Square Enix has announced that "The Missing Link" will be available in October, bringing with it new environments, characters and some narrative embellishment. As we've already reported, the DLC will address a temporal gap in the storyline that has been made mysterious retroactively by the announcement of this DLC. From now on, become suspicious every time a protagonist takes a nap and the screen blacks out.
