    Definitely a failure compared to the previous game. The only good thing about it is the great graphics. Even though the game came out in 2016, the graphics are stunning.

This game needs a DLC or something because the ending was very unsatisfying. It could have made as much noise as Cyberpunk 2077 when it came out, but they made very wrong choices in the development process and that's why it's just a forgettable game. The maps the game takes place on are very small. They should have thought of a much bigger game. This series needs a third game. A third game that learns from the mistakes made in the previous games can be a good finale.… Expand

    Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.

    Deus Ex Mankind Divided had to satisfy a lot of expectations.

So it’s a bit of a curve ball that instead of escalating things, it actually tries to shrink the scope of the experience a bit: Where the stakes used to be global and somewhat apocalyptic, Mankind Divided chooses to settle protagonist and most cyber cyborg of all Adam Jensen down in cyberpunkified Prague, complete with a somewhat regular job as a detective at Interpol. The story starts with a bombing which, true to franchise tradition, leads to quite an elaborate conspiracy plot whose twists and turns aren’t always completely successful. But in contrast to earlier entries in the franchise, the action almost always stays confined to that one city.

    As a consequence, Mankind Divided does feel a little bit like the straight to DVD sequel to Human Revolution. Taken on it's own, the plot is serviceable to good: The good guys are mostly charming and quite complex at times, the bad guys are sufficiently dastardly and they too have a few inches of depth under their belt, even if the genre conventions don't allow the player to get to know them that much. But the game can’t help itself referencing that Big Thing that happened at the end of Human Revolution, and thus the player is never allowed to forget how much more bombastic the last game was.

    The core gameplay loop of Deus Ex is almost unchanged: There are hub areas that basically function as roleplay playgrounds: Adam walks around, he talks to people, does a bit of shopping, consults his quest log for main and side objectives. These sequences were very enjoyable to me, mostly because of the high production values: The writing is sharp, the voice acting on point and the city itself is breathtakingly immersive. Seriously: I’ve been to the exact section of Prague they try to emulate, and it’s very believable. While I do miss the bold black and gold style of Mankind Divided, the slightly more realistic tone has its advantages.

    When you wander into somewhere you’re not wanted, the game shifts gears with an audible clunk: The first person stealth shooter makes its presence known and the player must make a choice: Shall it be shooting or stealth? To me, it is always stealth in these games, not the least because the believability of the world kind of breaks for me if the protagonist is a mass murderer. And stealth… is fine. It’s almost unchanged from Human Revolution, and it’s fine. The systems work, and almost all the levels are designed with multiple sneaky routes, most of them are very enjoyable to find and traverse. Sometimes Adam can even indulge in a few light instances of social hacking.

    The hostile conversation system is also back, and it works fine here, but there is a problem: Back in Human Revolution, it was used in these incredible conversational battles between two philosophies, two ideas for progress: Adam got to exchange arguments and convince people that their ideas are wrong, or dangerous. Not so here. The conversations mostly involve Adam wanting some physical thing and him stroking the ego of his opponent the right way to get it: Still fun, but not quite as profound.

    Hacking is back and basically unchanged. There are quite a few new augmentations, almost all of them useless for a stealth playthrough because most of them are just an alternate way to kill people or render them unconscious, and there are more than enough other options for that. Add to that the fact that until the last third of the game, you can’t even access the new augmentations without being penalised, and the new augmentations were pretty much without consequence for my playthrough.

    So the game is good, great sometimes. Unfortunately it comes with some iffy parts, namely that the game entices you to pay for praxis points to unlock more augmentations. You absolutely can get through the game without buying a single praxis point… if you plan your upgrades right. I didn’t. I went all in on the hacking augmentations early and didn’t have enough points left to get some of the movement augmentation. As it turns out, these are very important for a sneak playthrough. And that’s how they got a bit more of my money.

    All in all, I enjoyed my time with Adam Jensen, even if there was little new gameplay-wise and the story didn‘t quite live up to my expectations. My lingering investment into the plight of Adam Jensen saw me through the game just fine with spikes of enjoyment occurring often enough to not regret my purchase.

    TLDR: This is a pretty good game. If you have a craving for Deus Ex, or an immersive sim, go get it. They don’t make many of those any more.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is very good. The stealth system has been improved and offers new possibilities. The development of the hero has also been enriched with some new goodies. Unfortunately, something was missing. The game does not have the impact of the first part. Mechanically, it does not pay to invest in money - you can finish the game with the best equipment and 50k cash in your pocket. Sneaking around the whole game I ended up with all the needed upgrades and 7 praxis unused. The very ending ... left a great dissatisfaction with its poor performance. Even though I performed two final missions, I fight for the best effect. So what happened to me? As part of the ending, I was able to watch boring TV news devoid of the main character's narration. Naah. It could have been 8 but ultimately makes 7 out of 10. Good but could be better.… Expand

Como juego técnicamente es brutal, aunque tuvo problemas de rendimiento cuando se lanzó. La iluminación, la calidad de las texturas, y las partículas en pantalla en muchas zonas de combate es muy impactante. Pero en las expresiones faciales su calidad deja mucho que desear ya que se notan muy robóticas y tiene errores en los textos cuando lo juegas con voces en español y con los subtítulos, pero el doblaje no es malo, solo que tiene errores en ciertas partes y toca los cojones el no enterarte porque a veces los personajes mueven los labios y no hay sonido y es confuso. La historia es buena, pero no llega al nivel del human revolution, ni de coña. La jugabilidad y posibilidades son enormes, caminos por los cuales ir, y dependiendo de los aumentos que elijamos tendremos más posibilidades de ir por una zona u otra, eso ya depende de nosotros y de lo que elijamos. La banda sonora en general es buena, pero no es algo que vaya a recordar de este juego, no es su punto fuerte, sin embargo el sonido de las armas y de lo demás es inmersivo. Un punto muy malo es que tiene putos micropagos esta mierda, lamentable, dime tu que cojones pinta esta mierda en un juego para un solo jugador. Lo recomiendo, y ahora por este precio merece la pena, pero eso de los micropagos hace que una parte de mi no quiera recomendarlo, pero bueno, no es abusivo, y ahora por ese precio si es buena idea el plantearse comprarlo, o por una key mejor.… Expand

    Deus Ex Mandkind Divided is a full priced poorly made RPG shooter with little content, horrendous gun play and boring narrative.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will not cover the corporate greed extending its ugly arms with time-limited pre-order bonuses and micro-transactions in a full-priced game because that has been covered many times elsewhere and has since become a standard in the industry. Instead, I will focus on the game itself.

    So, even ignoring the blatant presumptuous customer contempt, Deus Ex: MD is a game about nothing. The story progression in this game is quite literally none.
    Instead of bridging the gap between excellent Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the classic game from 2000, wrapping up the story of how Bob Page and the Illuminati orchestrated events that led to the original Deus Ex - which every Deus Ex fan wanted and expected - we get an entry that shines as far as gameplay goes but the story is utterly meaningless and blatantly relying on future installments and paid DLC (which never came because nobody cares about this game).

    Deus Ex: MD feels like a bunch of missions that were ductaped together rather than a coherent story. First of all, you are on mission in Dubai, where you get attacked by mysterious assassins. Then, you go to Prague - for some reason - which suffers a terrorist attack, which is - again, for some reason - intertwined with the mysterious terrorists. And this is the main focus point of the game. It's decent enough for a standalone game but as an entry in Deus Ex franchise it's too little. No questions from Human Revolution are answered. No connection towards the original Deus Ex is established, except randomly flashing Joseph Manderley's name and face a couple of times.

    Almost all the characters from Human Revolution are gone, instead replaced by shallow and forgettable Alexandra Vega and bunch of even shallower and more forgettable characters like Koller or Rucker. Only Miller and Delara Auzene were at least a bit interesting.

    The good thing is that gameplay and especially gunplay are improved compared to Human Revolution. That, combined with interesting side quests, is the saving grace of this game and the main reason why anyone would even bother with Deus Ex: MD. Levels themselves are well designed, with multiple paths leading to your objective and all major play styles (stealth, hacker, gunner) readily available and equally enjoyable.

    The main problem of Deus Ex: MD are not micro-transactions but the fact that it failed to meet its fanbase expectations. Hard. If I play a Deus Ex game, I expect an unforgettable story and a game that stands well above average. What we got here instead is mostly a standalone expansion pack instead of a proper game. And I mean that from story progression perspective, not actual in-game content perspective. There is enough content and missions in the game, it is not that short and if it were any longer it would become a boring slog.

    So who is this game for? If you are a Deus Ex fan who lusts for another Human Revolution, who wants to see how the Illuminati pulled strings from the shadows, who wants a satisfying wrap-up of the epic Deus Ex story line, then you will be utterly disappointed - that is reserved for another Deus Ex game. If you just want to play a decent cyberpunk FPS/RPG hybrid then grab it on sale.    … Expand

Compared to Human Revolution, Mankind Divided is a measurable improvement in graphics and gameplay. It also adds a few new augmentations and weapons, along with weapon customizations. The world has much more alternative routes and rewards exploration. Overall, this should be a better game with a better score but it does regress in many aspects. The story is not as compelling as the first game, with humanity embracing augmentations as the solution to many of their limitations, desires and challenges. After the events of the first game, the story is now more about a form of racism against augs and has some SJW themes in it. This is understandable based on the story of the game, but should've been implemented in a more subtle way as Jensen felt different and more political this time around. As for the characters, I feel like the dialog and script of the first game is superior as it was simply more compelling and brilliant. The business practices attached to this game are also cringe-worthy and really intend to milk customers in the single player campaign with day-1 DLCs, which is a big shame. This problem is also made worse by the fact that the story does feel a bit incomplete, like it was supposed to have a sequel and more story elements but was ended prematurely. The soundtrack is also not as good as the first game, which I still listen to this day at work. Performance and stability are also issues in this game. For my rig, the game crashes to desktop on rare occasions, which is a shame. As a gamer with high expectations for this title, with its predecessors being cult classics, this game should have done more, but fell short. That said, it is still a very good game, all things considered. Just expect a few crashes and don't expect a lengthy, outstanding, timeless experience like the original Deus Ex and Human Revolution.… Expand

    Feckless and perverted inheritor of Deus Ex glorious name.
    Like a hyenas, it preys on remnants of titans.
    There is no story, there is no simple explanations, sometimes there is no explanations at all.
    Some examples: gang of armed criminals tears part bookstore in one wall distance from police using automated weapons without silencers and blocking street entrance among with few houses in it. No-one cares.
    You walks to police officer and accuse other policemen of extortion, abduction and bribery - they immediately shoot them on the place. No court, no justice, that's it,
    Crowd of people ask for neuposim. Just like "heya do you have a spare bottle of hugely expensive drug? No, it's not for myself, just though you might have"/
    Poisonous gas and electricity breakage right in the centre of city. Because it's fine to have some kids dead, right?
    Oh wait... there is not a single child on the street. Why? Cfu!
    City overwhelmed by flats that have no entrance or exit except though windowsbalcony.
    Screwed mage in sewer possess the tools that allows him control the minds of his followers - no-one tries to use to build a state for themselves.
    Combat drones shoots hobos at sewer with no reason.
    You have base which is literally copied from Mass Effect. And repeats the same approach from DX:HR. And have few characters which continues screaming "JENSEN" every time they see you, having nothing to say to you.
    Main characters agrees to spy on his own organization simple because he is asked for it. No reasoning, no hesitation. Listening device? Yeah, give it to me, Interpol have nothing to hide.
    Enormous amount of ventilations which are totally insane from engineering point of view. They are there just for you to have diverse access.
    Sitting peoples can't be took down.
    Someone worried to put number of billion-worth devices into your protagonist, just for free and hide them, because... well... why not after all?
    There is clear segregation on humans and augs, but you are fine to ignore it.
    Some quests are ends in the tiny air: no continuation, no explanation except "oh, this is life, yeah, life's hard, kiddo yeah..."
    Casino -it is located in a sewers. Why?! How customers supposed to reach it? How one could hide the endless thread of customers and employees? Sewers are notable clean, by the way.
    Locals speaks in either clear english with a no accent at all, or use grammatically correct but a bit spoiled by accent English. YEah, everyone knows english, right? No, for god's sake, billions of people do not care about it and billions barely may nail few words in it.

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an excellent return to the Deus Ex universe, though when compared to the previous entry in the series it has a weaker story, fewer notable characters, a larger, more sprawling hub, and (basic) crafting.

Most major gameplay mechanics are copied from Human Revolution (with mild refinements); stealth gameplay is much improved and the side-quests are truly superb. Not as narratively engaging as Human Revolution, but still a good game and a worthy entry in the franchise. Go for the Digital Deluxe edition at a discount so you get all of the DLC.
    Total size on my hard-drive (including Season Pass): 60GB

    + Good voice-acting. Elias Toufexis as Jensen is as good as ever. Supporting cast is great as well.
    + Impressive light rays and hair animation.
    + Excellent side-quests. While not linked with the main story, they make everything better by providing valuable context. Some unique boss battles, too.
    + Stealth encounters are better than ever. A large number of choices, paths and methods await.
    + New augmentations that allow different ways to play. But if you want to play using the same styles and methods you developed by playing Human Revolution, you can do that too.
    + Plenty of mutually exclusive choices. At least two playthroughs are needed to see everything.
    + Prague is large and complex, divided into four districts. Tons to do and explore.

    +/- What’s the story? “Adam Jensen fights terrorism by completing quests for Interpol.” The only stake Jensen has in the fate of augmented people is that he himself is augmented. Depending on how seriously you role-play his commitment to aug-rights (versus his duty to his job), the story can feel tangential.
    +/- Much of Mankind Divided feels like a copy-paste of Human Revolution (with some refinements). Prague is the main hub instead of Detroit. Inventory is the same, gun-play is much better, hacking is refined, but is otherwise the same (the addition of “fog of war” on high-level objects is a nice touch). Even the story structure (though not the story itself) is similar.
    +/- Composer Michael McCann returns from Human Revolution. His ambient tracks are as engaging as ever (and in a few cases thematically linked to the ambient music in Human Revolution), but the big story moments lack a “big tune.”
    +/- Resource-intensive. Mankind Divided loves cpu cores and vram.
    +/- Lacks boss battles (I am talking about required bosses, not the optional ones.) I’m not sure having some would necessarily have improved the game, but they did help segment the different sections of Human Revolution. Mankind Divided offers no unique encounters to punctuate major story moments.

    - I never asked for crafting. There is literally zero reason for it to be in the game.
    - Sequel bait ending.
    - The choices you made in the main story result in different news broadcasts at the end of the game. Not much of a pay-off.
    - Lack of stand-out characters. Delara Auzenne and Jim Miller are well-drawn, but the rest of the cast is incredibly weak, especially compared to the plethora of unique individuals who populated Human Revolution.
    - Final boss is a joke of a fight. And you know he’s going to be the final boss from about half-way through the game.
    - Steam overlay did not work (I ran the game in Exclusive Fullscreen).
    - Game will occasionally lock up for a few seconds, then resume. Increases in frequency as the game advances, then disappears after the alpine level. Feels like an issue with texture stream-in optimization, but I’m just guessing.
    - Looping cut-scenes are used to hide the loading screens. Annoying, given how long the load-times are. If I want to watch gifs, I’ll visit 9Gag.
    - Facial animations are sub-par.
    - Some textures are oddly low-res (even with textures set to High).
    - Hair might look great, but skin does not. Chalky and poorly textured.
    - There might be a lot of stuff to do in Prague, but the city itself is an endless sea of grey. Visually boring. A lack of obvious landmarks can make it hard to navigate. (And why is the game set in Prague, anyway?)
    - Need to read the tie-in novel Deus Ex: Blacklight to understand what happened in between Human Revolution and Mankind Divided.

    While not the equal of its predecessor, Mandkind Divided is worth playing for its excellent side-quests and strong stealth gameplay – and just for the pleasure of role-playing as Adam Jensen again. When I finished Human Revolution for the first time, I couldn’t wait to go back and play it again. After finishing Mankind Divided, I had more of a “That was cool. Moving on” feeling instead. It is still an enjoyable return to the Deus Ex universe, and fans of the series shouldn’t hesitate to give Mankind Divided a try.    … Expand

    I liked the game mostly. The whole stealth/action/RPG parts were pretty good. But cutting out middle missions of the game? Seriously? If you are trying to make people mad you did it pretty well.

    Cons :
    - the main story is far less interesting and epic than the Human Revolution one.
    - loading times are too long : when the game is launched, 8 screens are displayed during 45 s before the game menu ! And loading a game or the loading when changing areas is about the same time. These loading times are not caused by my disk since my storage is high-end : Samsung 960 Evo 1 TB.
    - game cut in small areas like Thief. Very frustrating when used to open worlds
    - Prague is a too little town, only a few streets. It seems a village and not a major city.
    - A few textures are low resolution
    - Bad optimization : stutters even on a high-end machine and after many months after launch
    - End disappointing
    - bad feeling weapons : they feel underpowered

    Is was one of my most awaited game and it is a "wet squib".    … Expand

    Mankind Divided rewards exploration and respects your choices throughout its hefty campaign. The city of Prague is absolutely amazing with great details and visuals. The gameplay is also exactly what you expect from a Deus Ex game.

    There is almost nothing you can complain about regarding the Mankind Divided gameplay. To achieve a greater score new Deus Ex lacks a better story and the possibility to "turn off" Czech language. [Issue#267]

    Despite the "Can't stop the progress" tagline, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is pretty much a rehash of the previous game.
