Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut follows the story of Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT and security specialist, handpicked to oversee the defense of one of America's most experimental biotechnology firms and forced to submit himself to the scientific advancements, also known as augmentations, after being severely injured while trying to save the scientists he was hired to protect.
The game offers an open approach to mission structure, thoroughly engrossing story and gorgeous visuals combined with an simply amazing soundtrack and exceptional gameplay.
The boss fights are very well-designed, the different choices and multiple approaches will have consequences later in the plot and the stealth mechanics are just great.
I highly recommend Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut.

Probably the best feature about Portal 2 is the 2 players cooperative experience featuring its own dedicated story, characters, and gameplay.

Circuits is a simplistic musical puzzle game that requires careful listening to complete each level.
The concept is pretty simple and unique, and the objective is to simply listen to a full sequence of a song and compose it piece by piece as it gets more complex with the player's progression.
Although the simplistic concept, the game manages to keep the player engaged and entertained by introducing new methods of completing increasingly difficult sequences of songs.
Overall, Circuits offers an immersing and epic musical experience and I highly recommend it.
