Deus Ex: HR on Steam

As you may or may not know, there's a discount on Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam lasting until Monday, here it's from 50 EUR down to 17 EUR, which is quite a nice price drop. I am, however, completely new to Deus Ex series (never played it and until HR never heard of it) so this would be my very first Deus Ex game. From some footage I've seen on YouTube it seems like some sort of Stealthy FPS thing, which may be quite fun to play.

I want your opinion guys - Is it worth getting it? If you've played it, did you like it? Are prequels necessary to know what's going on or is there some sort of briefing? What can you tell me about the game I should be aware of and so on and so on...

Thanks in advance.

Buy it. It's one of the best games this generation, plain and simple. And you don't need to play the other two Deus Ex games since this takes place years before the events in those.

I want it, but I'm out of my budget..

I agree that it's a must-buy especially at that low of a price, but was no one put off by the boss fights? :?

The boss fights are by far the weakest part of the game. Once you get explosive rounds for the revolver, your set. The "boss" in the missing link is even worse

Awesome game, only negative thing I really have to say about the game is the boss fights.

No arguements there. Outsourcing the boss fights was one of the dumbest mistakes possible.
