    Mankind Divided is a wonderful, powerful game and a great addition to the Deus Ex mythos with rich, fully built characters and an amazingly immersive world. If it wasn’t for the many missteps that the marketing department took, you would probably have preordered this already.

    While Human Revolution was a promising title with some glaring issues, Mankind Divided is the work of a mature development team that has had the time to fix their weak points and improve on their strong ones. The result is a quality cyberpunk spy adventure with strong visual and level design, true opportunities for players to exercise choice, and some really cool cybernetic toys to play with.

    Mankind Divided has its flaws, but its charms far outweigh those issues, especially for fans of Human Revolution.
  4. Overall, Deus Ex is perhaps less ambitious in its storytelling than its hot button ads might suggest, but is still an exemplary example of open-ended problem solving gameplay.

    Makes huge strides forward, is held back from total greatness by two things: a story that falls just short of the shading around it, and bugs. [November 2016, p72]

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is still a Deus Ex game through and through, even if it doesn’t always manage to hit the same highs as its predecessor. But for all its faults, its numerous other triumphs made it utterly compelling to play through until the end.

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the epitome of the phrase, one step forward, two steps back. I hate comparing it to Human Revolution as it was something special, but Mankind Divided feels like an underwhelming, repackaged experience.

TheThat crook Sean Murray should take notes, THIS is how you create and market a game. Everything that was advertised is here and then some! The action sequences are phenomenal and the combat feels perfect whether you're playing the game stealth or going in guns blazing. It's been a terrible last six months for game and Deus Ex has broken the drought! Expand

    I love this game so much. I wish more games that are fully open world learned from this game that densely packed hubs are far more interestingI love this game so much. I wish more games that are fully open world learned from this game that densely packed hubs are far more interesting than desert planets/planes. The meat of this game is everything around the main story. The main story has some interesting beats, but it's really in the side quests and exploring the hubs that you get the cyberpunk experience in this game. And it's all wonderful. One of the few games where I do ALL the side quests, every time I play it. The DLCs are also enjoyable and offer more of the same quality.
    The only real downside to this game is that the main story feels incomplete. It feels like it's waiting for a part 3 that we might never see. Which would be a shame because this series still has a lot going for it.

I decided to give this game a shot and i liked it, but for me the story was hard to follow, but i got the general idea of what was going on. This was my first Deus Ex game and i was overwhelmed as there are so many ways to take down enemies and different ways to go about a situation. Here are my likes and dislikes about the game:

    Likes:
    -Like how you can update Adam's skill set
    -LOVE the save feature
    -there is A LOT to explore

    Dislikes:
    -The intro in the game was the longest intro i have ever seen in a game. Got lost about a couple minutes in to it and the intro is about 10min i think.
    -the mouth movements of the characters are really awkward and annoying
    -no in-depth walk-through for hacking. I was really confused on how to hack at first, but i got a hang of it after awhile.
    -for me there was way too much hacking. In order to access the security systems, weapon stashes or just general areas you will have to hack your way through which got EXTREMELY annoying.
    -There was also a few bugs i ran into, i.e. weapons wheel wouldn't show all weapons. Or when i was running through the city the screen would make subtle freezes every now and then.

    This game was a bit out of my normal realm, but with it being open world and having the features it has it what makes this game a good one. Would i buy the next Deus Ex, probably not as it is just not the type of game i would play

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I haven't played any earlier Deus Ex games. The game started very well for me as it seems to take itself really seriously and creates an interesting world. I felt paranoid about everything in the beginning to the point that I was trying to lock my apartment after I left the first time. This tension quickly runs out upon discovering that a murdered man in a night club will be left for days. And the door to what's supposed to be a secret area can be left open. Even sneaking into a vent that leads to the server room in front of your Interpol colleagues doesn't alarm anyone. I like some of the mechanics but the whole game feels too convenient. I was never stuck since my mind was always looking for the vent, the weak wall section or movable object which ALWAYS were there and always usable. No vents will lead you to nowhere or nothing!
    The graphics are good but not groundbreaking. Some of the side quests are interesting and others are plain stupid. AI is shocking. The city is lifeless and the NPCs regurgitate stupid trivial information. Even the shop keepers keep repeating the same introductory lines every time you see them.
    Overall, a mediocre game with interesting lore, tiny lifeless sandbox city and stupid AI.

Si te centras en el modo historia tienes 3 misiones. Un completo desastre, realmente, y decepción absoluta. Es una pena que una saga así termine mal, pero Square Enix, entre otras compañías, se está encargando de ello. Expand
