    Wow what a giant hunk of garbage! How could any studio allow this piece of crap to be released?

The game in several belittle a good players ability to figure out things on their own, unlike in Original Deus Ex

    How can anyone like this game? The story is messy and boring. The first mission is like you started in the middle of the game. The hub is crap. The stealth sucks. The only thing good about it is that I spent €4 on it which is already too much.

    Порт на пк отвратительный я даже не знаю как объяснить, что происходит на экране...эта графика одновременно лучше чем Deus Ex: Human Revolution и в то же время омерзительна. Сложно понять что я вижу иногда даже в плотную. Перепробовал все ползунки настройки графики, но так и не нашел ни баланса, ни приятной глазу графики. На что ушел безумный бюджет в 70 миллионов канадских долларов?

    Звук в игре ужасен я слышу как храпит какой нибудь бомж за 100 метров от меня будто он у меня под ухом и каждый человек или машина в игре орут мне под ухо, но не Адам Дженсен который в каждой сцене говорит исключительно шепотом, что это вообще такое???

    Физика в игре в разы хуже чем в Deus Ex: Human Revolution это заметно в самой первой миссии в Дубае. После сцены оглушения врагов они взлетают, улетаю в разные стороны. Сам Дженсен будто передвигается не на своих двух, а на роликах или может быть коньках. Прошлой части можно было простить отсутствие ног, когда смотришь вниз, но с таким неприличным бюджетом неужели нельзя было этого сделать?

    Если проблемы, что я описал выше не дают тебе насладится игрой, то атмосфера полностью убивает желание играть дальше. В прошлой части погружение в игру происходило практически моментально, а тут даже за 6ч игры ничего подобного не произошло и каждую минуту проведенную в игре я всё больше хотел вернутся в прошлую часть и пройти её ещё раз.

    Очевидно, что из игры пытались сделать сервис. В игре есть какой-то магазин, тебя просят скачать какое-то мобильное приложения для данной игры которая к слову уже с позором удалили со всех площадок, Идея о игре-сервис с бесконечными продолжениями высосанных из пальца провалилась с треском, что не может не радовать.    … Expand

    "Consolización" de juegos de PC.

    La anterior entrega, Human Revolution, ya me pareció muy sobrevalorado, era un juego muy inferior al Deus Ex original, un juego demasiado lineal para llevar el nombre de esa franquicia y con errores de diseño muy habituales en los juegos modernos como los ataques semiautomaticos o los qte, además del pésimo diseño de los combates contra los jefes.

Pues bien, Mankind Divided no mejora nada de eso, el apartado jugable está mal diseñado y claramente centrado en el control con mando de consola ("consolización" de juegos de PC) y es aún peor en la historia y los personajes (que tampoco eran demasiado buenos en HR), por eso queda un juego muy mediocre. Muchos han centrado su crítica en que es una estafa llena de DLC o que el juego tiene muchos bugs, todo eso es cierto, pero si no los tuviera seguiría siendo un juego mediocre. 3/5.    … Expand

    This game is great if you like sneaking around like a wiener. Playing a lame hacking game that is a pain in the butt and requires you to reload your game constantly if you fail or you get swamped by people blasting you in the face. Not a big deal except loading takes forever.

    Honestly not even worth the $5 i paid for it.

    Graphics, story, and music seem amazing, but the gameplay is trash.

    A step down in nearly every way over Human Revolution. I knew it would be bad because of what I had heard from fellow gamers, but playing it for myself was incrediblly awful. I could never have imagined it would be this much worse than the previous entry. It may be a good thing they are never making anymore of these. Epic Fail.

    + Weapons design are cool with some upgradable Specs. Cons: - Character's graphics are horrible (PS3 graphics alike). - Attachments are not able for all weapons. Why does suppressor make weapons weaker? - The content is terrible by the glitch or OVERCLOCK game's effects. - The game's audios are bad, too hard to hear even with headphone.    Pros:

To add insult to injury there also is no closure in the end; the game has the audacity to conclude in a massive cliffhanger, as if anyone would want to buy the next installment after having experienced this unpleasantness.

    The gameplay itself is childish and offers absolutely no challenges: more than three quarters of all the usable items/weapons/augmentations are unnecessary for a complete playthrough on even the highest difficulties. In retrospect, the entire game can be beaten in less than 6 hours without killing a single person, not that there are moral consequences or anything.    … Expand

    You are faced with pivotal decisions...or at least decisions that seem pivotal, but it doesn't seem to make any difference which you pick.
    The story is best told through the live-action trailer, which was just pure excellence. The story in game is vague and there's no underlying feeling of "mechanical apartheid" other than a sign here and there or a guy checking your papers. More of a minor inconvenience than an impact.
    The load screens are abysmal for a game of this spacial size.
    All of that, I can still handle since the gameplay is so much fun and so well done, with excellent leveling system, interesting augments, fun weapons and all kinds of different approaches to every area.

    What I cannot handle is an in-game store in an SP game, with once-use items. Regardless of it being used or not, it doesn't belong there.
    The story ends so abruptly that one can only assume it's to either sell the DLC or to prepare it for a sequel. Problem is that after this experience I have no interest in a sequel. At this stage even Invisible War is more memorable.
    In a way it feels like Eidos Montreal tried to succeed and Square Enix tried their best to cash grab.

    Deus Ex Mankind Divided is my biggest gaming buy regret of the year. Proof that pre-ordering really isn't worth it.    … Expand

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided it's a failure. Why Eidos decided to continue the story of Adam Jensen, which in HR was absolutely completed and didn't require any continuing.
