    A handfull and then some perfectly interacting base game mechanics (without meaningless bloat), a brillant story, a very nice RPG, a story and an atmosphere so dense, and last not least my personal favourite: this game and its main protagonist are just freaking COOL! Though graphics naturally have not matured well - the original was released back in 2000, this is still (2022) a plain awesome experience. Thank you Ion Storm, thank you Warren Spector!

    DEUS EX

    one of the best enviorments i have seen in any game.
    the story is top tier

    the gunplay is meh but still satisfying
    the ai pretty dumb without mods.
    the gunplay in general is pretty bad.

    I am amazed at how, operating with such a small number of tools, the developers managed to delay the players for dozens of hours.

    What a game. A chilling RPG masterpiece with an extremely prophetic story. One of the greatest WRPGs of all time in totality.

    Mechanics might be clunky, but the game at heart is an absolute masterpiece.

This 23-year-old game still holds up extremely well due to how unbelievably well-designed the whole experience is. If you are a student of game design, you owe it to yourself to play Deus Ex as it is a tour de force in this regard. The story and story-telling are top-notch. The game's systems regarding choices and consequences are so subtle that I am still learning new things about the game even after multiple playthroughs. I love how Deus Ex emphasizes choices in gameplay, like how you help someone, or who you kill, or the simple reactivity that an inventory system can bring if you mismanage resources. It's such an amazing game, and I cannot recommend it enough.… Expand

    Фантастична гра у сетінгу кіберпанку. Атмосфера сріблого металу у повітрі та зміни суспільства через технології. Це не передати словами, бо воно віє вітром.

    The depth of the game, including the newspapers, random e-mails, random chatter all around the zones... And the atmosphere, characters, plot, skill system, multiple approaches to problems and so on make this game a pinnacle in its own time. The fact that the graphics have aged doesn't make this game any less good because you can use mods that improve textures and still enjoy it.

    The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider.

    A great game with a fantastic OST, great writing, good level design, outdated combat and extremely cheap. There is so many different ways that you can play this game that is mind-blowing.

    The master of the immersive-sim, one of a kind. Game Industry takes a huge leap forward at every aspect from this game and for the first time video games could arguably considered as art but not entertainment. In the desperately world of wounder and lost, this is the gem that reflexs truth and guides you to the light.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I became a god in the end. That's my kino ending, and the one that legit felt like a damn fine pay-off. I love the game a tone, but definitely believe that it MAY have been technically rushed out the door and low-key broken. I had to essentially cheat because the game stopped working and deadlocked me from progressing. A very good game with a great sci-fi plot. Also loved the freedom the game gave me! Very much worth playing !… Expand

    One of the best cyberpunk FPS/RPGs ever created.

    Even the mod/update to play as the original female denton from the concept art is great too.

    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. Anyway, in the Universe of Deus Ex needed a new main charact

Yet, I never paid any attention to it; always just glancing over it; not knowing I’ve been overlooking a masterpiece all these years.

Here I am, 21 years later, and I’ve finally decided to give it a go, and let me say, what a masterpiece this is. Okay, let me get this out of the way: the Game of the Year Edition is buttery smooth. Alright, let’s talk about the game. Great music, voice acting, level design, and decent RPG elements. Got it. Here is why the game was ahead of its time. The game follows a linear story and path, but if you want to hack computer terminals, run n’ gun, or sneak through each level, it lets you. Need a code for a door? Hack a computer. Don’t have the necessary skills to hack a computer for a code? Blow it up. Don’t have any explosives? Find a vent to crawl through. It forgoes the “one size fits all” style. It’s just simply one of the best games out there. Get it, get over the dated graphics, and enjoy the game that shaped future RPGs.… Expand
