Ross Scott's Game Dungeon review of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, from the Accursed Farms channel. Commenters remember it for the critique of the game's heavy gold color filter.

HN people recommend it as a delightful critique of the game, and cite it as an example of the piss filter look in games and film.

He's absolutely correct on comparing it to the first game, but he may even be a little too warm towards some aspects of it. I also enjoy this video by Ross of "Freeman's Mind" [0] [0] ▶ this video

I have to mention Ross' Youtube channel Accursed Farms' review [0] [1] [2] of Deus Ex. I would highly recommended watching them: "I came for a game review and left with a better understanding of the economy and politics. Ross you blow my mind" [0] link [1] link [2] ▶ this video

You never asked for this, but Ross's Game Dungeon: Deus Ex - Human Revolution is a delightful critique of the subject matter (a.k.a. lemon blast mode): ▶ this video

Good old Piss Filter, also popular with games. From 'Ross's Game Dungeon: Deus Ex - Human Revolution' ▶ this video conclusion - art directors are Lizard People. >The first movie to use digital color manipulation in the way we’d think of it today — i.e., shifting the colors within a film image to meet a digitally achieved palette — is generally considered to be the 2000 Coen brothers’ Great Depression picaresque O Brother, Where Art Thou? and not 1999 green tint Matrix?
