Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Another good Deus Ex game. The main city is Prague, so the atmosphere is more European, but the main plot remains the same: a global conspiracy. Personally, I'd rank it below Human Revolution and the first Deus Ex game in terms of story.

The story is not finished. I wish it was. This is an immerise sim in a cyberpunk future and it's handled brilliantly.

GG.

Really good, like the whole francise

I'll start positive, so newbies to the franchise can read this w/o my thoughts on the comparison to Human Revolution :) I have played this before, several times on console and PC but on seperate launchers-- Game is good, definitely. Story is, a bit underrated I'd say though I wouldn't say it's a staple "good" story. It's passable enough to be fun and somewhat engaging. Controls are all standard for a game of this type, at least by these developers. The hacking is fun, though very plentiful compared to previous installments, which can get boring quick. If you want to play a Deus Ex game for the first time, it's good if you want a more modern experience. Also the soundtrack is pretty good, don't hear enough about it! I'll go into a few negatives now. Firstly, to get to the main menu there is 6 splash-screens to click through, everytime you boot the game.. yeah. I found that characters were very, unemotional in this game. Jensen makes sense he is known to be monotone and it works for him but like *nobody* aside from Johnny Guns, the Psychologist, and Aria at times have emotion. Miller is a pretty good example of this he shows no emotion till the end, and it's because he kinda has to. The pacing of the story was pretty bad. I never really felt that I exited the "start" and went into the "middle" by the time I thought I was, it was the last few missions. I think one of the major faults is my next complaint, the travelling. Don't get me wrong I like the metro system, however... the game makes you go back and forth between districts CONSTANTLY, sometimes several times for a SINGLE mission. For a few missions it forces you to travel, just for a single cutscene or dialogue piece, then travel back.. it's very tedious and because you're constantly in "old" areas nothing ever feels "new" so that's why I think the pacing might be iffy, for a singular point. A few gameplay issues I had. Selling items is very tedious, more tedious infact then the previous installation. High Jump works.. sometimes? About 60% of the time you hold Jump, you'll actually high jump. Sprinting also has a weird effect where it'll jitter the animation constantly. End of regular non-previous game review-- Okay onto comparisons to Human Revolution. I do like Mankind Divided, but after having just played HR again. Man this game is a really big stepdown in terms of, everything. The story is nothing compared, and the beginning of the game is really nothing special, compared to the chaos, and just the social-ability of the starting offices, being able to actually talk to random employees and they have dialogue for you. Choices in MD are also virtually non-existent, where-as HR had a decent few, the ones it did felt good. I was initially disappointed by the lack of Eliza in MD, following the ending of HR. But I was glad when she did actually prop up eventually, in some way. I do wish there was more though, it seems she had a genuine connection to Jensen and he didn't exactly shut it down like he does most others. I think there could have been a better partnership there. So yeah. If you want a first impression of Deus Ex, play Human Revolution. But this isn't a bad choice either.
