    This game is trash compared to the first. The city is lifeless to begin with. Everything that might have interested you from the first game feels watered down. The missions are terrible as well as the story. If you mess up the game will auto save on its own at certain times leaving you with no choice but to start all over if you didn't remember to save previously before that.

If you mess up the game will auto save on its own at certain times leaving you with no choice but to start all over if you didn't remember to save previously before that. On top of that the game gives you the option of stealth or full frontal attack but if you don't choose to be stealthy there is basically no way to actually play the game in any enjoyable way. Also the shooting and AI is GARBAGE. If you played the first game then just be happy with that because you aren't going to find nothing good with this one.… Expand

    The game's main theme is a "racial" conflict between natural people and people augmented with software and hardware implants.

What it doesn't fail to do, is to be racist to Czechs (Mankind Divided is set in near future Prague, Czechia). Everything is wrong. Pronunciation is laughable. Literally every poster or sign has insane typos, grammar errors, non-sensical syntax, word by word google translations. The language is so bad even scam ads have better Czech. Local names, surnames and proper nouns make no sense. "Czech" people have "Russian" accent. Even things like license plates, political system of Czechia or landscape don't resemble Czechia at all.
    The developers didn't give a single microscopic fůck to make it look decent. I know most people won't notice a thing but why set the game in Prague then?

    Other than that, the game is quite good. I like that you can accomplish your objectives various ways (many paths, options, stealth vs loud approach, skills, etc.) The game also provides a lot of optional dialogue and side missions done well.

    But the poor language was so omnipresent in the game there was no chance not to see it. And it damaged my experience severely.    … Expand

    A disappointment. Never capitalizes on the ideas and themes of the first game while also offering some predicable game-play that's far too easy. A disappointment.

The ONE thing this game did right was stealth, in fact that about the only thing this game has going for it, you can find about 15 different ways to do the mission in stealth, theirs not even 15 missions in the stupid game. This game is NOT worth $60 i wouldn't even buy it for $10 if you feel like wasting your money on it be my guest, just don't settle down and get comfy while you play, you will beat this garbage before you need a poddy break.… Expand

    I've never played a Deus Ex game until a relative for some reason thought I would enjoy it and got it for my birthday. It's awful. Unless you're an absolute fanboy, avoid this game at all cost. I started with the provided 12 minute video for some backstory and left more confused than when I started it. I heard a bunch of names, but it was obviously missing any sort of real context. That'sI've never played a Deus Ex game until a relative for some reason thought I would enjoy it and got it for my birthday. It's awful. Unless you're an absolute fanboy, avoid this game at all cost. I started with the provided 12 minute video for some backstory and left more confused than when I started it. I heard a bunch of names, but it was obviously missing any sort of real context. That's not the games fault though.

    From there I started the game on normal mode. What felt like a couple dozen cut scenes later, I was finally ready for action. Things started out ok, but then quickly fizzled. I took the stealth approach, but no matter how hard I tried, or how many steps I took to remain unseen the erratic AI would find me. Often they would ignore their cone of influence and even though the map showed them looking one way, they would see me in the other direction, even behind cover. And even when I would stealthily remove a guard from the game, he would somehow still be able to alert every available guard in the known universe to descend upon me. And when that happened, it was best to just stand still and die because no amount of stealth countermeasure would get me out of that situation. And why in the hell do the takedowns have a reload timer on them? For a cyborg, Jensen sure in limited.

    Aside from ignoring their cones, the enemies were awful looking. Zooming in for a headshot, the textures on the enemies were something I would expect to see from an early PS3 game. In fact, aside from some of the environments, the game looks terrible altogether. All of the character models and textures again look like there were just ported over from an early PS3 game. Almost as if they had this game started for a PS3 release years ago, but didn't take the time to update the graphical portion for PS4.

    Controls are horrible. I realize they may be ported over from previous games, but that doesn't excuse the poor and unfriendly placement of buttons. Any gamer knows that FPS games have a general button scheme to follow. Not here. Firing is the only normal button on the controller, everything else has been repurposed for something else entirely. I get that Jensen has a lot of augmentations, but that doesn't excuse such a sloppy execution. Things could have easily been more refined and wheel selections should have been reserved for usable powers, not weapon and consumable selection. It bogs down the flow of the game.

    The game also lacks any sort of tutorial or real explanation of anything. Upon finally finishing the first mission, I was put into my apartment with no real indication what I should be doing aside from some arbitrary waypoint marker. Picking up consumables only led to more questions because a popup told me I could craft things, but didn't explain how. I don't expect to be led, but if it's important enough to mention, I'd like to know the basics. And that's how the game continued to approach things: You can do THIS, but we won't bother you with details.

    Add to all that possibly one of the worst protagonists in the history of games. Jensen is godawful. His voice grating to say the least. He's meant to sound like some kind of brooding anti-hero badass, but he just sounds like a lifeless monotone placeholder. He sounds more like a chainsmoking 50 year old trying to talk in a nursery full of sleeping babies rather than some kind of action hero. That kind of character should be left in the PS1/PS2 era where it belongs.

    The game could be good. But it's not. It's very apparent that it's a quickly thrown together sequel to cash in on the fanboy hype and nothing more. It boils down to being a perfect hybrid of the first Mass Effect and Alpha Protocol, but it has none of the enjoyment of Mass Effect and none of the tongue-in-cheek guilty appeal of Alpha Protocol. It could have been an enjoyable future espionage game filled with intrigue and story, but ends up being a hollow, narrative heavy cash-in that leaves you wondering what the fanbase is smoking.    … Expand

    I was super hyped for the game, and even though I never buy preorders I did this time. I can't believe how sequel to a game as good as human revolution can be as bad as this one. The game is ridiculously short (shorter than any uncharted episode), story is bland and everything is just not enough. Seriously, wtf?!

    There are those who would describe the last game in the sereis, Human Revolution, as one of the greatest stealth games ever made and one of the most gripping conspiracy stories in gaming.

The rest of us just laugh and play the truly engaging political narratives, like MGS Twin Snakes and Killer7. Human Revolution really didn't offer much that better games hadn't already done much better, but even without being compared to the competition I found HR to be extremely underwhelming, with far too much exposition that never really led anywhere interesting.

    I'm sad to say that Mankind Divided has failed to deliver once more, and actually takes several steps back in some ways, particularly where the stealth is involved. In HR, you could feel that the devs tried really hard to make the stealth rewarding and fun, even if it didn't quite work, but MK decided to take the Dead Space 3 approach and throw out everything that could have made the game fun and take a more action oriented approach. It's extremely disappointing to see the devs distance themselves from the one thing I found moderately enjoyable from the last game.

    I haven't thought about Human Revolution's story since I played the game back when it came out for the best console released this generation, the Wii U, but the fact that I can't recall anything that happened in that game really speaks to it's quality as a narrative. It simply doesn't have interesting protagonists or ideas. And mind you, I personally love the idea of making corporate espionage into an interesting game narrative, but HR failed to deliver any sort of interesting, memorable characters or moments. So I'm sad to say I'm not sure if i would describe MD as 'worse' when I can barely remember what happened in the first game. Again, it's nothing all that interesting, but it's not downright offensive like an AC game or Other M.

    Mankind Divided is nothing more than just another lackluster release for thirsty fans to pretend that the PS4 is still getting games, when clearly the focus is on the NEO in the foreseeable future.    … Expand

    Before anything, this review is made on January of 2018 with the most up-to-date version of the game. All this bugs should have been solved since the game is almost two years old.
    In my opinion one of the major mistakes a game can fall in is by having it’s difficulty being it’s flaws, like an artificial difficulty. The game is made to look like you can do thing the way you like more but it’s a fallacy, the game actually forces you to play as the developers want most of the time.
    You are forced to play as “ghost”, using shadows and stealth because if you try to go gunfight, you will never have enough ammo. The enemies drop a small quantity of ammo, no matter what. So if you spend a whole clip t shoot down a couple of enemies you will find that they drop less ammo then you spent to kill them. But if you fail to hit, they will spray you with infinite bullets. Yeah, you get behind cover and they’ll fire and fire and fire, never getting out of ammo.
    This isn’t the only flaw of the game, the plot is full of holes and things that makes you think why a person so high in his/her career would do something that dumb. Those holes sometimes can be ignored but usually they are major holes, without giving big spoilers I can say that if “aug” people gets so discriminated, why don’t they cover their cyber limbs and go live their life as if they were normal people? The game shows you that one person does this and gets away with it. It’s such a obvious idea but no one is doing that. Everyone is very dumb in this game.
    Talking about being dumb, let’s talk about the AI searching you, they CLEARLY see you, go after you, but if you manage to stay hidden long enough they accept that you have just disappeared and go back to their mundane talks about nothing. You have 3 different types of bullets to fire on your enemies but although they see you as an enhanced person, shouting and taunting you because that, they never use EMP bullets or grenades on you.
    Also, the AI will rush towards any thrown cardboard box, mut if you smash a wall or a ventilation duct with you super-strength, they won’t hear. You knockout a guard that is ONE meter from another guard, the animation shows you hitting so hard that you can hear some bones breaking, but that other guard, 1 meter from him won’t hear anything.
    And about being stealth, today, in 2018 infrared goggles are available under $100, but none of the thugs/army/soldiers/defensive robots/turrets you will face has enough cash for one of those.
    Then we have more stupid things to “increase difficulty” but are actually just dumb. If you put a silencer in your gun your damage falls incredibly, which is totally stupid.
    Talking about items, let’s talk about the stupid inventory. You have a full inventory and you find a shotgun, since you already have a shotgun picking up those will get you a couple of bullets, but not if you have a full inventory, in this case you will have to drop one of your other guns, pickup that gun so it is converted into ammo, then you can pick up the gun you dropped. You can carry 9 bear bottles in a single inventory slot but a nuke software will occupy 4 slots. WHO CAN STORE NINE BOTTLES IN HIS CLOTH? Make’em snack bars or energy pills, come on son!
    What about hacking? You spend a lot of points in hacking only to find out that a lot of stuff just isn’t hackable. You have a lock that only opens to a card, but you are a master level 5 hacker right? That will not be a problem for you right? Wrong. In most situations a multitool if better then having hack level 5.
    Then we have those old bugs, when you are using takedown or smashing a wall/ventilation duct, your arm will go through other textures a lot.
    SPOILER AHEAD: When Talos Rucker start getting hacked in your face, you have LOTS of tranquilizer weapons, EMP shots, etc but you can’t do NOTHING but watch him die. And when the enemy takes you down and go full Austin Powers on you? They capture the most dangerous man on earth, a man he KNOWS infiltrated the ARC, went through a few dozens of ARC soldiers and left untouched, what they do when they capture that man? Kill him and steal all those amazing upgrades you have? No, they will leave you alive so you can get back on your feet and end them all.
    And when you go the the hideout of the investigative tabloid that just found out that your company, a multinational that can install an office anywhere in the world in 72 hours, is fake and is covering for something, you go there, talk to them, they promise not to leak anything and it’s cool. No big deal, you can trust them. COME ON!!!

Unfortunately though it doesn't meant its a great game. They should have named it Deus Ex Door Opener because that's all you're gonna be doing in this game (and crawling through vents). The guns don't have any punch and they sound like portable sewing machines. Theres no weight to your character so you feel like a tank sliding around on ice in an old COD game.

    Characters add some more cringe-effect: Adam Jensen, MC, never was an interesting character, just an augmented action-movie-macho-soldier, but in DE:HR he had some interesting companions and enemies. DE:MD had only one character, whom I liked, and half a dozen very irritating characters, whom I totally disliked.

    Gameplay is mostly the same as it was in the previous game - you crawl through vents and hack stuff, while knockin every stupid AI opponent out with taser. New augs added a little more variety in battle, but are mostly useless compared to weaponry with AP-rounds and EMP-stuff.

    Some locations (Alps, London, some side mission locations) are pretty interesting, but main hub - Prague - isn't. It is just a grid of little streets and alleyways with too little hidden secrets and stuff like that.

    Graphics are pretty most of the time - but don't expect miracles, because this game looks more like upgraded DE:HR. It runs on PS4 (usual, not Pro) without flaws most of the time, but sometimes (rarely) fps get low for a second or two. Most of the time, however, it is solid 30fps.

    I played it because PS+ gave it to me - and was thinking about buying it on some sale. But after playing I thanked my luck - personally, I would be disappointed if bought it, even on sale. If you really love DE:HR, then maybe you wold like this game enough to be pleased and should buy it on sale. Full price - no way, it just doesn't worth it, even for fans.    … Expand

    A step down in nearly every way over Human Revolution. I knew it would be bad because of what I had heard from fellow gamers, but playing it for myself was incrediblly awful. I could never have imagined it would be this much worse than the previous entry. It may be a good thing they are never making anymore of these. Epic Fail.

    I barely finished it. I haven't been this disappointed with a game that I was originally excited to play in a long time. One of the worst endings of the 80+ games that I've beat.

    The cutscesenes are too long and not interesting beacuse the cutsceenes are mostly the characters talking, their voices don't sync up with their mouths, the facial expresions are just bad, the amining is eather too fast or too slow, the fall damage and the fall damage is exploitable but hard and unforgiving

    The city feels empty, it is also a hard to enter this serie as a newbie. And the worst of al the story ended so abruptly.

    Скучно, уныло. Стелс не работает: стреляешь в одинокого моба из пистолета с глушаком, откуда-то все здание/улица сразу узнает, что произошло убийство и кто убийца.

    I give this game a 1 because it charges a ton of microtransactions to really do anything. VOTE WITH YOUR MONEY. Stop these companies from making cash-grab games. Don’t pay for this crap.

    Mankind Divided isn't quite the Deus Ex game of our dreams, but it's a strong step in that direction. There's a high emphasis on choice and experimentation, killer side quests, and dense, detailed levels that are a joy to explore. With momentum pushing towards the next chapter in the story, here's to hoping it won't be another five years before we see Adam Jensen again.

    Mankind Divided continues the legacy of its predecessors with a high quality experience on all fronts. It may have an underwhelming ending but nevertheless it provides engaging gameplay with either a stealthy or all-guns blazing approach, it provides a beautiful and detailed Prague and it manages to maturely project the prevalent racists issues of our society to its dystopian world.

    Mankind Divided takes all the great ideas from Human Revolution and adds to them, making it just as good as the prior Deus Ex.
