Deus Ex: Revision

Deus Ex: Revision is a mod for Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition, developed by the Caustic Creative team; a multinational group of modders. Development on the mod began in 2007, and the initial release took place on October 10, 2015 on Steam, with a GOG release on April 7, 2017. Revision is one of the most far-reaching mods available for Deus Ex, bundling in numerous other mods, changing almost every level, sometimes substantially, and including a new soundtrack.
== Features ==
In addition to the Revision specific changes, many other mods come bundled. Two graphics mods, New Vision and Project HDTP are bundled. Revision also uses a modified game base, a tweaked version of Human Renovation, and features support for Shifter and Biomod as game modes. The The Lay D Denton Project comes built into Revision.
Revision also includes a number of additional changes such as customizable crosshair types, autosaving, and an enlarged weapon belt. Since update 1.1https://steamcommunity.com/games/dx-revision/announcements/detail/825668988308449719?snr=2___, Revision has offered achievements for Steam users. This Steam community guide lists the achievements and their requirements.
==Level Changes==
Revision focuses on altering the original's levels both from an aesthetic and gameplay perspective. Some levels are significantly modified, like Hell's Kitchen, while others just have extra objects and altered lighting, like the Hong Kong helipad. 
Revision has several examples of the altered design posted on their website. 
For instance, this first early image showcases how Hell's Kitchen was altered in layout and had longer buildings and wider streets overall.
The second image shows how the mod alters the aesthetics of some levels by altering the lighting and adding objects. The example here shows the MJ12 command center in the prison level.
The third image depicts the expansion of area done on some maps. Such expansions are rather rare, yet can be extensive and feature new locations altogether.
==Gameplay Modifiers==
Revision allows for setting custom difficulty options such as damage taken modifier, energy drain rate modifier, and a max number of credits.
Also featured are a number of gameplay modifiers which offer changes to gameplay in addition to the standard difficulty settings. As of patch 1.7.3.1, the modifiers are:
