Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

I can't give this game a thumbs up because it often froze during loading, and the loading times themselves took literally minutes, even though I have a powerful PC. Yes, this game is beautiful and has varied gameplay, although I find it too time-consuming to navigate through dialogue. Perhaps this game isn't compatible with modern systems, which is why I couldn't complete it.

Devo admitir que o game é muito bom, mas ele possui muitos bugs irritantes, como você esta andando e o personagem simplesmente trava em algum pixel invisivel, assim como crash aleatorios, saves corrompendo do absoluto nada, mira fica bugada, dublagem não acompanha a legenda ou as falas ficam trocadas (por isso recomendo jogar em inglês com legenda em portugues), mas se tirar esses bugs é um otimo jogo!

Incredible game. I struggled to get into it during the first phase. I was chasing lots of side quests, and it felt like I was just doing "stuff." I didn't really get into the plot or understand what was going on until halfway into the game. I recommend watching the trailers in the extras section to help you understand what's going on. I learned that they had much more planned for this game, but they had to ship it early. You wouldn't know it. The game is crammed with content. I don't understand why people say it's abrupt or short. There are tons of places to explore. It's just easy to skip the side quests if you want to. I'm guessing that's what most people do. I've played all of the other games in the series. This is one of the best ones. You should play Human Revolution before you play this one, though. Ideally, you should play the games in order of their release. You could also skip Invisible War and come back to it as the last one you play. Music: 7/10. Most of it is light ambient / background noise, but it's vaguely close enough to the original Deus Ex soundtrack that the songs from the original game were getting stuck in my head. Gameplay: 8/10. Sneaking and shooting feel nice. You can aim through iron sights / scopes. Augmentation usage feels nice. It's possible to unlock all augmentations. Plot: 9/10. It was hard to get into at first. I wondered if some of it should be cut, but it's a video game. You don't have to play all the side quests if you don't want to. The concept behind the plot is very original, and they tied into the plot of the original game in creative ways. I appreciate the work they did. In true Deus Ex form, there is some political commentary that is incredibly prescient. As someone who played the original on the year it was released, I regret not playing this sooner. I would say this release is better than Human Revolution. It's incredible what they accomplished. I wonder what it would have been if they could have completed everything they wanted to complete. Definitely a hidden gem. It just took some time to grow on me.

I asked for this

Deus Ex Mankind Divided es uno de mis juegos favoritos, y la verdad, me es difícil hacer una reseña sin sesgos, pero esque verdaderamente es un juego que se siente libre como pocos. Me consta que para una gran cantidad de personas, Mankind Divided no fue una secuela merecedora de la saga teniendo en cuenta lo alto que quedó el listón con su predecesor, pero este es de esos extraños casos donde, de hecho, considero mejor la secuela que el concepto original, y sí, sé que están por ahí los deus ex originales, solo me refiero a la "trilogía Jensen", y sí, la cito como tal ya que me niego a aceptar que Square Enix hiciese de éste el último Deus Ex cuando se deja tan abierto el final. Como juego me parece bastante completo, nos da un sandbox que no solo aparenta ser variado, sino que pone a tu disposición las herramientas para interactuar con él a placer. La verdad, lo veo bastante más lleno que su predecesor, y meto aquí el propio mapa, dejaron claras sus habilidades creativas con la representación de Praga que quisieron ilustrar, bastante criticada al no ser parecida a la real, pero a mi parecer entendible, pues hicieron de esa Praga ficticia un lugar memorable al que siempre me alegra regresar, y esto va tanto para Praga como para el complejo Utulek, que aún siendo Praga, me parece de los entornos de ciencia ficción más fascinantes que he conocido, puede parecer estúpido al ser un complejo compuesto de módulos habitacionales, pero está tan distópicamente bien representado que me enamora perderme en el bullicio de sus diferentes niveles. Ya que hablo de Praga y del mapa, me gustaría hacer un énfasis en lo conectado que se siente, no parece una ciudad con edificios puestos porque sí, cuenta con una inmensa cantidad de interiores que no se sienten vacíos, y por mundano que suene, me parece algo remarcable, se nota el mimo que le pusieron. Y si de cariño y cuidado se trata, me es imposible no citar la música, que tal como en el juego anterior, se adapta a la perfección en todo momento, Michael McCann y Sascha Dikiciyan entendieron como nadie lo que es Deus Ex y le dieron una banda sonora en condiciones. Quería dejar la historia para el final, pues nuevamente, estoy al tanto de que no fue lo que muchos esperaban, y que su final se sintió inacabado, que debimos haber visto más de Rabi Ah, que quedaron muchos cabos sin atar y todo lo demás, pero aún con todo ello, creo firmemente que el producto final se sigue sintiendo sólido y la historia sigue siendo muy disfrutable, me parece injusto tildar a Deus Ex Mankind Divided de mal juego solo por esta razón. Para concluir, este título lleva un lugar muy preciado en mi corazón, lo aprecio con locura y me parece único, por ello, recomiendo que se le de un intento y se mire más allá de lo que algunas opines sepan transmitir, y a pesar de que probablemente nunca recibamos una conclusión real a la historia de Jensen...irónicamente, igual que él con sus aumentos, nunca pedimos nada de esto.

It's crazy how parrallel the story is to what we face today. Story, gameplay and characters are all 10/10. Deus ex Mankind Divided is a must try provided you don't skip its story and side questes. Never skip them side quests.

Definitely feels like it ends before it's time. I did ONE PLAYTHROUGH at time of this review. People say its easy to get praxis but I don't really feel the same when you first start getting to explore Prague, doesn't help I was locked out abilities because I committed to invisibility, expecting it to be good like it was in HR. I poured way too many praxis into it to only use it a handful of times because it has a super short active duration. The only purpose it serves is walking through lasers. Being able to punch through walls is going to get you MUCH MUCH farther. I had the same issue when starting an unfinished console playthrough on PS5 years ago. Gun variants and ammo types seem to only serve to force you to think more about how you are going to Inventory for loud. Armor piercing sure does help a lot near the beginning but you might end up with enough to just use it all the time as long as you don't miss a ton of shots. I'm not a fan of how this whole system played out. Seriously it sucks to start, warms up near the end but ultimately ends before the momentum allows. Gunplay feels good, stealth feels normal, and when things allign exploration feels good, I can only recommend to someone who already played HR and is willing to play a worse version of it. Non gameplay complaints: There's an NPC at the beginning of the game with last name Epstein that wants you to help them create fake government IDs, will attempt to lecture you to change your opinion even if you stand firmly against it. Reaping any reward from this quest causes the NPC to instantly disappear so you cannot kill them afterwards. Killing them is not a solution to the quest either. Seems off, sets off alarms, game is blatantly more ideologically motivated than HR, which is definitely proto "moralized." Both games are still allegories for intersectional beliefs.
