Big fan of the game and I actually liked the gold filter a lot. The designers described the art style of the game as cyber-renaissance, mixing the premodern larger than life characters and themes of remaking mankind and so on with the technical futuristic stuff.

I thought that was a pretty unique take and I found the art direction of the newer Deus Ex game to be bland in comparison.

And the presence of triangle shapes throughout the environment, the design team did an amazing job.

Indeed. While playing, I enjoyed taking a moment to stealth up and appreciate the level design, and so did a lot of other folks [1].

art direction for DXHR was superb.

Everything just clicked, perfectly. I just wish it had a few more months of development time - as you can clearly see that Upper Hengsha and Montreal were supposed to be another city-hubs.

EDIT:

I forgot to mention, but the idea that technology inclined areas have golden hue, while those further away have green-tint was great.
