    В какой-то момент видеоигры перестали быть только состязанием и начали рассказывать истории. Именно в этот момент появились первые прецеденты классических образцов молодого жанра.

Именно в этот момент появились первые прецеденты классических образцов молодого жанра. И тот из них, который первым приходит на ум, когда речь заходит о классике интерактивного искусства - это, бесспорно, Deus Ex.
    Графика на момент выхода в 2000-м уже была устаревшей. Игра по ощущениям сильно затянута и ближе к концу все чаще прибегает к самоцитированию (от пары эпизодов можно было запросто отказаться без малейшего ущерба). Геймплей разнообразием не блещет, а сценаристы под конец решили, видимо, пустить в ход все черновики без исключения. Но, черт побери, даже сегодня, спустя 20 лет, обнаружить в игре настолько же детально проработанный мир, талантливо преподносимую историю и мастерски организованные диалоги, - почти невозможно. Плюс, конечно, атмосфера киберпанковской антиутопии, создаваемая ночными декорациями и специально сочиненной музыкальной темой, по-разному аранжированной в зависимости от места действия. Послевкусие - ощущение себя в центре ВСЕХ общемировых теорий заговора и груз ответственности за принятые по поводу дальнейшей судьбы мира решения (возможных концовок целых три).    … Expand

    Um dos melhores jogos já feitos , extremamente imersivo e viciante , com um level design que dá muita liberdade ao jogador para passar os desafios , ótima trilha sonora e história incrivel e detalhada , obra prima

    The beginning of a legend. The first Deus Ex is stylish and atmospheric. Everything from plot to gameplay and possibilities are unbelievably strong. Only the graphics were and surely are outdated, but this is a very negligible point of criticism with regards to the game´s greatness. Precious, even today!

    The game was very tedious and boring at launch. Outdated "Unreal" game engine and hopeless ideas.
    Total chaos in the story told and no atmosphere. Today, this game doesn't stand the test of time at all and doesn't live up to the standards of games like System Shock 2 and Hitman 47.

    One of the, if not my favourite PC game of all time, but, I have to admit, some of the mechanics and the way the story is delivered in the beginning didn't age quite so well.

Some of the skills (Like swimming and environmental resistance) are useless, the controls are weird for modern standards and don't synergize well with the stealth gameplay. Some of the weapons (like the sniper rifle) are much more viable options than others (namely the mini crossbow and the rest of the common firearms). The stealth is pretty alright, the game is pretty challenging sometimes but nothing that will make you get stuck or soft-block you. The story has some of the best and some of the worst dialogue I have ever seen. this basically summarizes the entire game, you have some amazing **** that you absolutely love but on the other hand you have things that you despise. And that adds some kind of beauty to all of this.

    I played this game many years ago.

    It was crazily good, and also different from any other game.

    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.

One of the recent reviewers typed "combat is bad, sneaking is bad, charater building is bad, graphics are bad... 10/10" The game is so highly regarded by the gaming community that people feel compelled to give it a perfect score even though they see many problems with it. Game is currently sitting at 9.2/10, and it is certainly not that good.

    Everyone praises the story, but it does have a few holes in it. Your choices do not matter. You can save someone's life, you can kill "to-be" villians early on, but none of this affects the plot, which is entirely linear. Want to stop following that obviously manipulative guy telling you what to do? Too bad. Don't want to ally yourself with a cringy statnic goth-girl? Too bad. At the finale you always have the same 3 choices for an ending, Mass Effect style.

    Gunplay is awkward, but this is on purpose to try to get you to use stealth. Enemies are blind, however, and won't notice you until you reach a certain proximity. You can trigger an alarm and defeat a group of 10 enemies, but the next batch a block down the street will still be patrolling regular routine as though nothing happened. Also, the XP system encourages you to save cats so you can upgrade your radiation resistance.

    Where the game does shine is in it's level design. The levels are large and there are always multiple ways of reaching your destination, based on your skills. The worldbuilding is great with lots of little books and emails, if you like to read through that sort of stuff. And the plot itself is thrilling if you don't want to fight it, and if you don't think about it too much. It's a good game, but not a 9/10.
