I am a dumba*s for doing this. I purchased the game because I love Deus Ex so much, and I have not been disappointed. Although the idea of microtransactions in a single player game is definitely abhorrent, at least they have it designed in such a way that it doesn't interfere with the experience; it is subtle the way that they did it. It does take away from the experience but it doesn't ruin it. The rest of the game is excellent, considering the way things are these days; it is not complete yet but it will be and I am looking forward to the rest of the story when I complete this one. It takes a lot of resources to make games these days and I can understand where they need to try and increase income; still I would have preferred that they did not introduce microtransactions. This issue (which seems to be the main issue being discussed with this title) aside, the rest of the game is top notch. Sure it has a few wrinkles to iron out but that is normally the case nowadays; I'm sure they'll get everything fixed. Having stayed up all night last night enjoying the game and barely scratching the surface because I love to drink in the entire experience, I fully retract my previous idiotic action in reviewing the game before having even looked at it, and give this baby a 9. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because I do respectfully disagree with the idea of microtransactions in a single player game. Excellent work Eidos, but leave out the transactions from now on, please.… Expand

    #3 David Sarif - Why did you have to go and change his voice? Even if you had to, could you not find someone who carried a bit more emotions in their voice?

    #4 Apps - Could you not have merged Deus Ex Go with DX Universe? This is just poor development planning, and this is regardless of whether or not the two apps are made by different developers. Work TOGETHER.

    Don't let the negative reviews fool you, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an amazing game with a great story, interesting characters and excellent gameplay, only ruined by the shady practices of Square Enix with microtransactions and season passes. Once you get past the shady practices, you'll find that the game is basically "Deus Ex: Human Revolution 2.0".

    Like I've stated the story is    Don't let the negative reviews fool you, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an amazing game with a great story, interesting characters and excellent gameplay, only ruined by the shady practices of Square Enix with microtransactions and season passes. Once you get past the shady practices, you'll find that the game is basically "Deus Ex: Human Revolution 2.0".

    Like I've stated the story is amazing, it's pretty much everything you'd expect in a Deus ex game which is great for the fans. Sometimes the story does get overwhelming but you catch on eventually, also the story is well thought out, showing characters from previous games (like Morgan Everett which you only see in the first game.) the deus ex universe is coming full circle which is what fans would love to see. But the big difference to the story that it's different. Instead of focusing on the Illuminati primary. It really focuses on Task force 29 and Jensen which isn't a bad thing. But for some people they'll like more Illuminati content. The choices you make in this game is nothing I've ever seen before, before you just play pacfist/non-lethal for the best story outcome but now Mankind Divided is strictly focusing how both actions poses rewards/risks which makes the user think how to approach the situation for the best outcome. Also character interaction is great as well. Every single character you speak to, whether it's a NPC on the street or an interactable NPC... they have each different things to say which makes it really feel like you, yourself is interaction with real people. Also gameplay is like Human Revolution but they've fixed the aiming which was a confusing problem at the last game. Also you have your old augments so you can enjoy the augments from DE: HR. But in Mankind Divided you have a few new awesome augs which you can choose from as well. And they have a interesting way to make augment stacking not too powerful so it's a fair game in the end. The ending does seem a big cut out... but because we know that the deus ex universe isn't over, they will probably finish the story with a DLC and with another Deus Ex game so we can expect another game to come out in the next couple of years. Remember, there is still 19 years of Deus Ex lore until we reach Deus Ex 1 so a cliffhanger ending isn't surprising to me at least, but it'll be nice to have some closure.

    But the biggest concerns is 2 things, one is the performance issue which occurs in this game, MSAA is broken, with 50% less performance with MSAA you might as well turn it off until Nixxes patches MSAA to be operational in the future. Also in general the game is demanding, I was lucky to run this game on high settings & triple buffering with a 55 fps avg with a r9 280x in prague which is nice. But I feel like the Dawn engine isn't really optimized because of the fact the game engine is new. And the final problem is the marketing practicing that Enix decided to pull off. Microtransactions for a single player game, that's a really dumb idea to do, I don't personally care for microtransactions because I never buy them, but the good thing about the microtransactions isn't "in your face" so you DON'T have to buy them. I feel like it would have been more acceptable to add microtransactions in the "Breach mode" NOT the single player campaign. Also the season pass is really lacking too, unless if Eidos or Square Enix annouces more content for the season pass... then it feels like a waste of money. If the season pass was 15$... then it would be acceptable for 2 standalone dlcs and a couple of single player "one time usables".

    All in all, get this game if you are a Deus Ex fan, chances are if you hate the idea of microtransactions and protesting about it, you will still like the game because it's basically the prefect successor to Human Revolution. If you are expecting a Human revolution clone... then this is the game for you 100%.    … Expand

    I strongly believe that negative reviewers that present false information should be banned from writing reviews again.
    Firstly, the microtransactions are a bad move. But they are not required. You can get weapons and praxis kits just by *wait for it* playing. Amazing isn't it? No, seriously praxis and weapons are quite easy to come by.

    The only real complaints about the game so far are the moderately jerky-feeling animations (this is probably completely subjective), the lipsync which is off at times and the slight mouse acceleration action that's going on. Other than that I really see no issues with the game. Stop jumping on the hatewagon by making up facts.    … Expand

    Music, augumentations and everything in game logic is well composed.

    Everything has meaning so it's important to combine augimentations that you use!
    And world created by designers is perfect - ofcourse there could be more places because now it looks like serial killer is living next to you.
    Nevertheless this game is perfect for funboy like me.

    The gameplay is basically the same as Human Revolution, which is actually good, because it works really well. You can play in variety of different playstyles, from silent non-lethal to shoot everything that moves style. There are numerous ways you can get through each area, and they all require different character skills. This diversity is also reflected in gameplay time. On my first play through I wanted to explore everything, complete every quest, hack everything, and read every email. This took me almost 40 hours. In contrast, on my second play through, I just skipped every dialog and completed only the main storyline as fast as possible, which took only 4 hours.

    While the story conclusion does indeed feel a bit underwhelming, overall I still think the story is interesting enough, and I highly recommend doing every side mission. Almost all of them are quite engaging, and I think I will remember some of them for a very long time.

    I definitely recommend buying this game.    … Expand

    This game tends to go for extremely cheap during Steam sales, so now is the best time to play it. It's a direct upgrade to Human Revolution, making it strictly better than that game.

    When this game was released, there were some controversies regarding microtranscation and using current social issues in it's promotional material, both were nonsense of course, the ms were only for praxis points and can be totally ignored, but a bunch of butthurted people back then gave this game a bad review just for that, saying it's “Sending a message” to the devs, we'll get back on that later.

    Another criticism is that the game is way too short, these players probably just blow through the game thinking it's Call of Duty, the Dev actually did a smart thing in this game, instead of a huge open world that has nothing to explore, they made a small but very detailed part of the city, there are so many hidden quest and areas to explore in every nook and crannies, so IF you play the game properly like the first first game, or even Human Revolution, you'll find hours upon hours of content outside of the main quest, it's like complaining Skyrim's main quest is short, the main quest is only the side dish, it's the other optional quest are the main meal, but instead a bunch of dumb players just finish the main quest and gave it a bad review.

    So the player “Sending a message” to the dev about ms and giving it a bad review based on the main quest alone, compleletly ignoring how great the artistry and sound design is, how intricate the full of content the city is, and some minor bugs and gliches which were fixed but still more complains then praise, what do we have in the end?

    The dev just stop trying, we don't get a sequel.

    Great job guys, you really send them a message, a message that means hard work and minor mistakes gets punished, I just want to say screw you to all those dumb ass who gave the dev a lot of crap for no reason, this game was way ahead of it's time, it's way better then Cyberpunk 2077, but lots of you just don't appreciate what we have, and now the franchise is dead/ on hiatus or whatever.    … Expand

HR allowed you to play without killing people yet it forced you to do so in boss battles and starts the game with only a lethal weapon. In MK you can play the entire thing without killing.

    Pros:

    -Actual openness, there are so many ways to complete missions it's ridiculous, whether it is a lethal approach or ghosting your way through missions there are well placed vents, traps and ways to leverage.

    -The Future city of Prague feels really lively and well crafted, interiors and exteriors are given a-lot of detail and it is extremely polished. Golem city gives a total future slum feel and cyberpunk industrial areas are so rich in atmosphere. The vents that you crawl in are vastly different as well, from the clean and heavily monitored bank vents to the noxious gas filled sewers and messy dump crawl spaces in the slums.

    -There is too much todo but at the same time when you really slow it down you can appreciate everything the setting has to offer, NPC chatters, bar's sell beer, redlight district blaring music in the club, personal touches that are going on that might be missed if you just stop and appreciate

    -Combat is not over the top hard and you mostly learn to resource manage and don't take on a big group at once, you also get to plan your encounter like in hitman games, sometimes i feel like Adam is only lacking the disguise feature for it to actually become a hitman game.

    -A bit of a controversial move but i like that choices are locked and alter's the game play. some completionists will argue that but it is a roll playing game, sometimes trade offs has to be made.

    - You actually feel like a detective in this game uncovering conspiracies as the game progresses, there are some really good revelations down in this game and moral dilemmas that give weight to decisions.

    - The dialog is pretty good as well, except maybe for Adam because he can be such a edgelord

    Оптимизация и сторителлинг похрамывают, в сравнении с прошлой частью, однако и без этого очень хорошая игра с потрясающей нелинейностью и атмосферой!

    The best cyberpunk game. The atmosphere it creates is perfect and the variety in the mission execution is very impressive

    A game of wasted chances that is still VERY good.
    This game could be easily 10+/10 but the devs and publisher sabotaged it.
    First: by Denuvo (I bought it only few weeks ago, only because GOG released a drm-free version). Second: by launching a money-grab campaign from day 1 (micro transactions in a single player game AND connecting DX:MD to some crappy mobile games). Third: story    A game of wasted chances that is still VERY good.

    Second: by launching a money-grab campaign from day 1 (micro transactions in a single player game AND connecting DX:MD to some crappy mobile games).
    Third: story that promises you best Deus Ex experience ever, and then rushes to a harsh ending, teasing you all the time with something better that is not coming.

    Mechanics, graphics, music, level design - these are 9-10 / 10. Without question.

    Story (the single MOST important thing in an RPG, Deus Ex especially) is jaw-dropping at the beginning. Intro and the beginning of the game, like first few hours, are 10/10. Like reading the best book in your life, but you can interact with it.
    But when you progress, you start to discover more and more and more astonishing, brilliant pieces of the story and the world... that are simply left for nothing... You get teased about interesting events, incredibly well designed places in the world, pieces of e-mails, items, dialogues - that lead to NOTHING.

    This is INCREDIBLY frustrating. I got the feeling like the game is an extensive demo when it comes to the story.
    Don't get me wrong - the story writing is GREAT. But how it develops in game is... underwhelming at best. There are so many superb-crafted jaw-droping things you learn, that you can not use in any way, or that lead to literally nothing, that it makes you wanting to cry sometimes.

    Story-wise - the game seems rushed, it seems there was AT LEAST 2x more quests and storyline planned.

    One one hand - I love this game and it's story. On the other hand, I felt like someone served me a 10/10 meal and suddenly took half of it away when I was enjoying it...

    I suppose an unbiased score for DX:MD would be 7/10.
    Add +1 if you liked DX:HR, and another +1 if you like this kind of games.
    For me both fo these are true, so my personal score for DX:MD is 9/10.

    PS. I was playing the GOG version - DRM free, no micro transactions, no Denuvo, no connection to the mobile app. And that's good. That is how the initial release should look like.    … Expand

    My God this is a such a solid game. The original Deus Ex is one of my favourite games and all of the sequels bar this one have fallen short. Here what I like about it:

    -Intricately crafted cities and levels, full of character. -Brilliant exploration with plenty of hidden areas to find. -Nicely non-linear without overloading you with missions -Solid and satisfying stealth mechanics    My God this is a such a solid game.

    -Combat is now a lot more visceral feeling and refined
    -Really engaging plot line, not too convoluted, that completely sucks you in
    -Augs are cooler than ever, especially the forward dash. Imagine leaping high up onto a balcony and then leaping across a street onto the opposite one to find a hidden room stacked with goodies.

    It's just pure sexyness through and through. Very polished and it's obvious a lot of love has gone into it.    … Expand

    Must play for cyberpunk fans. If you avoid hype, skip micro transactions (totally skippable and unintrusive) you will play a game with truly coherent realization. Level design, gameplay, story, sound design - it all fits one another perfectly. Players want this kind of games. Blame PR and management decisions for bad reviews. Devs you did an excellent job!

    Great game! I really liked it. I'll wait for the sequel. I hope the continuation will come out.

    Thank you for the Russian voice translation!!

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was a good game and a lot of fun to play.
    Was it perfect? Probably not, but what is. In this day and age which is turning out to be the Age of Multiplayer, I'm pretty grateful for any decent single player game.
    Most of the gameplay mechanics from HR are still there, and Jensen has some new toys to play around this time, which can be quite fun. Especially Tesla.    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was a good game and a lot of fun to play.

    Compared to HR, the main story IS shorter and probably less mysterious, yet still manages to be engaging and face the player with some tough choices. The greatest weakness is that the game obviously suffers from the "second part of a trilogy" syndrome - we don't get any resolution to the main mysteries, not really, and the ending is quite abrupt (I was reminding of Mass Effect 2 in this aspect). This is all the more hurtful because apparently the series has been put on ice by Eidos.
    The game got a lot of heat because of the microtransactions, which I managed to fully ignore and didn't feel like my game was any worse for it - I guess it only matters if you want to have it super easy at the beginning with tons of praxis points and such, but the game isn't too difficult either way.

    Another minor flaw, which probably won't bother most people, is that the Czech language in this game sucks, big times. Not the spoken Czech, that's actually fine, but pretty much everything written, and all the names are just wrong. But unless you're a native Czech speaker, you probably won't mind that.

    Otherwise, it's clear that a lot of work and care went into the game (which makes the language issue puzzling - is there not a single Czech proofreader in Canada?), facial animations are pretty solid (lip-sync is a bit shady at times) and the visuals and general designs are just stunning.
    What I enjoyed the most, however, were the side missions. All of them were expertly crafted, well thought out, full of surprises and populated with interesting characters with their own agendas. There was not a single boring fetch quest, which I find deliciously refreshing :)

    It's not too long a game, with all the side missions it took me about 40 hours to finish. I recommend this game to everyone who enjoys a good stealth single player experience with interesting stories.    … 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.
