Deus Ex: Human Revolution could've had a track from the original game's composer but it was rejected for not being the 'right fit,' and in hindsight he says they were right (www.pcgamer.com)

Eidos Montreal wanted to put its own stamp on Deus Ex after it took over the series, and that meant it wanted music from an entirely different composer.

I've been listening to Human Revolution's soundtrack for years! Only recently getting into Invisible War. IW's soundtrack reminds me a little of early Hitman games, composed by Jesper Kyd. I don't know if the two Deus Ex games are even worth comparing. And, not knowing any of the drama seems also to be a plus, to simply enjoying the music. Michael McCann did an excellent job with HR! It's when it comes to Mankind Divided I get annoyed. So many more tracks, so many fewer enjoyed. 🤷‍♂️

I think my favorite track from HR is Harvesters.
