Yes.
Basically the newer version integrates the "Missing Link" DLC into the main game and allows more options for stealth-based/non-violent characters. I believe there were some technical issues initially, but I haven't heard any complaints in awhile.
Personally, I only played the original before the recut and have nothing but positive things to say about the game. It's hard to imagine they made it worse, but I doubt it's "far superior" as it mostly seemed like a repackaging of the original. But if you haven't played the game at all, I'd go with the newer version.

I did some research a while ago when I though of upgrading to The Director's Cut (I already own the original and The Missing Link DLC). It turns out that The Director's Cut version is - believe it or not - somewhat inferior to the original version, mostly because it's a port from Wii U that was made from an earlier build, and therefore brings back bugs and issues that were already patched in the original release!
In short, here are some pros and cons of The Director's Cut that I managed to dig up (mostly from Steam Discussions):
Pros:
Cons:
My personal conclusion was that it was not worth it, the benefits are just not good enough to justify the downsides and the price. Also, I don't see any reason why I should give them more money for a poorly done job.

More or less this.
Director's Cut is worth it only if you want to play this game as shooter (then New Game+ will make it easier, as you'll have bunch of shooty-skills upgraded) or to listen to commentaries. But without those two it feels worse.

As far as I know, there are only 2 differences:

I played the vanilla game with the DLC and found it was awesome. I know people didn't like not being able to handle the boss battles well with their stealth builds, but since I loathe playing stealthily most of the time, it wasn't an issue for me.
The game has solid voicework, excellent audio, a fantastic setting, and tons of little bits of story hidden in vaults or on hack-able computers.

So I bought Deus Ex Human Revolution in the G2A sale earlier this year only to learn that it's not the Director's cut version.
So I was wondering, is the game still pretty good or is Director's cut version far superior?
I know the difference has to do something with the boss battles, but I would like to get the opinions of those who actually played the game(s)of how different it really is
Thanks :D
