Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Один из лучших иммерсив симов до сих пор, но только в несколько раз лучше предыдущей части

I really enjoyed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The atmosphere is one of the strongest parts of the game, especially the golden color palette and the overall visual style. It gives the world a very distinctive mood that still holds up well today. What I missed a little was more openness in the world. I understand that the developers deliberately chose smaller, denser areas so they could create more verticality, hidden routes, accessible apartments, vents, rooftops, and multiple ways to approach objectives. That design works very well in many situations, but I still would have liked smoother transitions between areas and a stronger feeling of being inside one connected world. The loading screens between certain parts of the city can also become a little annoying. Since the game is relatively old now, though, I can forgive that. For a future Deus Ex, I would love to see the same detailed level design combined with a more open and seamless world. I would also like NPCs to be smarter, more unpredictable, and less scripted. A bit more randomness in how NPCs react could make improvising much more fun. Sometimes the most memorable moments in games come from unexpected situations: NPCs behaving in ways you did not expect, systems interacting with each other, or even funny bugs and exploits that players discover naturally. A more systemic and unpredictable world could make every playthrough feel a little different and encourage players to experiment instead of always following the same solutions. Overall, I really liked Mankind Divided. The atmosphere, art direction, exploration, vertical level design, and freedom in approaching missions are excellent. I just wish the world felt a little more seamless, open, and alive.
