Great game! Definitely worth playing. Why the negative review, you ask? Well they end it on a cliffhanger and never made a sequel!

While not a triumph, Mankind Divided is an extremely enjoyable cyberpunk adventure with enough content and gameplay options to keep fans of the franchise happy. The main story lacks impact and drops off completely at the end, but the missions are almost universally fantastic, allowing you to flex your cybernetically-enhanced muscles in a multitude of ways.

Mankind Divided is a great game with an unfinished story. I can't believe it's been 10 years and we're no closer to finishing the Adam Jenson storyline... we can only hope one day we'll see a new Deus Ex game. I'd highly recommend giving this game a shot.

Positive: - There is MUCH stuff to explore in flats and houses and also much stuff to read, it makes the whole game feel very open and lively. - The augmentation system is like a skill tree, not very complex but well made. - I like the atmosphere of the game, a lot of political and eonomically conflicts, like in the real world, but in cyberpunkstyle. - You can play it like you want, stealthy or not - You can play it …

A bit shorter, but still great. The world-building and freedom in how you approach missions are top-notch. Wish we’d gotten a sequel.

79% of the 260 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The complaint that keeps coming up: unfinished story with a cliffhanger. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. The PlayStation 4 versions of System Rift and A Criminal Past likewise received "generally favorable" reviews, but the PC version for the latter DLC received "mixed or average" reviews. Nick Plessas of Electronic Gaming Monthly enjoyed the narrative's enclosed nature and how the game gave Adam personality while keeping him an enigma for players. Eurogamer's Edwin Evans-Thirlwell found its story structure among the best in the game's genre, but Andrew Reiner of Game Informer felt that Mankind Divided sacrificed the narrative's potential to address its themes.…

60 of 499 · most liked firstMy son works for this company here in the U.K. It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer. Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.
positive · AI labelView post →More serious journalists need to play video games so they can connect the dots between Elon Musk’s obsession with Deus Ex (he keeps a fake gun from the game by his bed), and his obsession with a malevolent AI killing everyone if he doesn’t make it first to placate it.
neutral · AI labelView post →DK Bananza is a superb videogame, damn. Proves my thesis that the Mario team is the true carrier of the Deus Ex torch. The scale, verticality, the THREE DIMENSIONALITY of this game is so far beyond everyone else. I have no idea how their toolkit looks, how they MAKE these things???
positive · AI labelView post →Thinking about it, the original Deus Ex may be the king of choice in a game with a story, because your choices are significant, linked to gameplay and unforced. From the very start, for instance, whether you use or avoid lethal force against the “terrorists” determines something about you.
positive · AI labelView post →They slapped a war on terror label to DEUS EX 2, a game series about the government brainwashing you and also aliens you can fight with katanas

neutral · AI labelView post →to put it this way: it's pretty cool to be the person to tell someone about Deus Ex, because it's a really weird and interesting game, but also if you're covering Elon Musk you have to know about Deus Ex, it should not be on me to tell you.
neutral · AI labelView post →Deus Ex turns 26! (Officially tomorrow, I think.) So many memories. Connecting with a huge number of people due to this game development. Eternally grateful.
positive · AI labelView post →Everyone knows Deus Ex is one of the most important games ever, so I'll use its 25th anniversary to highlight another game: CyberMage: Darklight Awakening. It's a 1995 immersive sim led by David Bradley (Wizardry V-VII), Warren Spector & Harvey Smith - a forgotten stepping stone towards Deus Ex!

Instead of retweeting Ian Miles Cheong sweating I’d be like hey ask me for the new Deus Ex game and I’ll give it to you on Steam, it’s free, please like me

negative · AI labelView post →With every game I play, I keep thinking back to Deus Ex, and the lessons that weren't learned. Deus Ex has no minimap, no objective markers; it drops you into an environment and tells you to find something or someone. Which forces you to engage with the world, and to think, to deduce.

It looks awful. ;o; Console players and the game itself deserve so much better. So, going to give the Revision community overhaul another boost - now includes the Lay D Denton mod too.

I want to run Linux and host things like Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Navidrome, maybe Plex (I currently host it off my Mac desktop but would move it to a dedicated server). I know you *can* host Plex et al on something like a Raspberry Pi, but I want a bit more power. I want something that can push at least 2-3 4K streams. I'm considering…

neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite Deus Ex game. It's a crime what they did with the franchise... I really hope that someday, we can get a worthy sequel to this unfinished masterpiece... Adam is such an amazing main character... I find that these days it's hard for me to say that about almost any character in gaming, but Adam was truly masterfully written. Every conversation and cutscene with him is badass and his personality gives off an air of security. I will truly miss this character and the world of Deus Ex.

neutral · AI labelView post →Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a game with a vision, just not a very good one. Many parts are subpar but it is greater than the sum. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the video equivalent of a dissociative episode. Nothing fits, everything is an inch to the left, and it makes my teeth itch.
negative · AI labelView post →Something I'd add is that Spector is one of the best guys ever to hear TALKING about video games. Hearing his lecture about the development of Deus Ex both gave me a greater appreciation for him and for the game (idk why the thumbnail below is from human revolution) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tffX...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[Rumor] Acc to InsiderGaming, Eidos is pitching a new 'Deus Ex' game to external partners and publishers. This game is different to the 2024 cancelled game. Publishers believe 'Deus Ex' is too niche at this point or aren’t willing to take on the financial risk. insider-gaming.com/exclusive-ne...

neutral · AI labelView post →7. Deus Ex - this game more than anything else got me interested in cyberpunk as a genre, just an incredible atmosphere even if its graphics don't hold up at all today 8. SWTOR - the only MMO I've ever played (and I still do), the class stories are a genuinely incredible accomplishment
neutral · AI labelView post →Our game is obviously inspired by: - Deus Ex - Fallout New Vegas - Dishonored - Metro
neutral · AI labelView post →TL;DR : Everyone involved in the development of the game did a great job, but the publisher didn't let them finish it. What could have been the peak of the Deus Ex franchise - or perhaps even one of the best Cyberpunk games ever - ended up being an unfinished game that was released too early because of bad management. And you might be wondering : how did this guy spend 160 hours on an " unfinished " single player game? Well, there is enough content gameplay wise and you can do multiple…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally played through Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a game I bounced off a couple times over the years. I played a strict no-kill game. I genuinely enjoyed the fantasy of roleplaying an unstoppable cynic who refuses to compromise his principles. The game allows that to be his strength in the story.
positive · AI labelView post →Really cool game, like a cross between Hotline Miami & Deus Ex, all taken to the extreme.
neutral · AI labelView post →I wish the end of it all was at least beautiful. Like a Deus Ex game.
neutral · AI labelView post →Visually impressive but ultimately messy sequel. The graphics, level design, and expanded gameplay systems are excellent, offering more freedom and player choice than its predecessor. However, much of the story (and side stories) revolves around a simplistic racism allegory centered on augmented humans, which completely overshadows the richer themes of transhumanism, surveillance, social control, technological change - and cyberpunk intrigue that has always made this series so interesting.…
