Grim Fandango as well if all they do is update the GFX and clunky input / inventory interface without changing the style, story or soundtrack much (if at all). Out of that list in OP's PCGamer link, I'm looking forward to Star Citizen, Pillars of Eternity & Torment: Tides of Numenera, Syberia 3 & Broken Age part 2. One reason I liked Dishonored is that it wasn't buried under a mound of cash-in sequels. About time we saw some standalone fresh AAA games that didn't have to be franchised to death. Looking through my games collection (of hundreds), I can't find any game (Oblivion & Skyrim aside) that has a number greater than "3" in the title. The gaming industry has in general picked up that nasty Hollywood malaise of remaking the same thing over and over - often badly - just a few years apart partly to hide a chronic lack of modern originality / creativity.
If it turns out well then I'll be pleasantly surprised, but right now I just have a gut feeling that DX:HR was a one-off fluke for Square Enix (especially since "Deus Ex: The Fall" and Thief reboot). I'd like to say "Deus Ex Universe" but really I've mentally written off all games which attempt to make decent modern non-consolized sequels (or "reboots") to past PC Golden Age era games without steering them in a "casual" direction.
