I find myself looking back, ten hours in, with '20/20' vision and reflecting on the exact moment I made Jensen's life go to s***. So yes; it's a more adventurous game with a lot to explore and yet somehow manages to feel less than the sum of it's parts. Still a very smart game, and now you finally have more than one/two ways of getting rid of your big bad guys.… Expand

    That 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!

    Одна из самых недооценённых игр в истории геймдева, непонятых толпой. На выходе только и было что разговоров о краткости сюжетной кампании, о плохой оптимизации и микротранзакциях, и за всем этим хейтом казалось, что преимуществ в игре-то и нет, но при ближайшем рассмотрении, оказывается, что перед нами игра, полностью и в каждом аспекте, превзошедшая своего прекрасного предшественика -Одна из самых недооценённых игр в истории геймдева, непонятых толпой. На выходе только и было что разговоров о краткости сюжетной кампании, о плохой оптимизации и микротранзакциях, и за всем этим хейтом казалось, что преимуществ в игре-то и нет, но при ближайшем рассмотрении, оказывается, что перед нами игра, полностью и в каждом аспекте, превзошедшая своего прекрасного предшественика - Human Revolution.

    Количество аугментаций, широкая вариативность в летальном/нелетальном устранении врагов, прекрасно реализовання возможность пройти игру бескровно и более того практически полностью избегая каких-либо контактов с агрессивно настроенными NPC, многократно возросшее количество контента и сайд-квестов и самое главное: ЛЕВЕЛ-ДИЗАЙН. Это феноменальная филигранная работа с большой буквы, настоящий алмаз в мире геймдева, игр с такой невероятной ручной проработкой как здесь можно пересчитать по пальцам одной руки. В исследовании Праги можно завязнуть на десятки часов, это настоящий рай для тех, кто любит исследовать открытые миры, различные пути подхода к цели, а также обыскивать каждый угол. Да, мир этой игры очень мал, но это компенсируется тщательной ручной проработкой локаций, кучей сайдов и историй, а также интересного лута, игра очень хорошо награждает любопытного игрока и поощряет дальнейшее изучение локаций. Тот, кто пойдёт чисто по сюжетке, не обращая внимание на окружающий мир, потеряет очень много, как контента, так и ощущений. Но это промах маркетологов, которые упирали на экшн-составляющую в рекламе, забыв о других аспектах. Разработчики же справились со своей работой отлично:
    Хотите крови и боёв? Вот вам улучшенный ганплей, крафт, и новые аугментации для агрессивного прохождения.
    Предпочитаете сеять хаос в стане противников и всячески издеваться над ними? Вот вам целая пачка аугментаций для массовой нейтрализации врагов, удалённый хакинг и предусмотренные гейм-дизайном возможности подстраивать несчастные случам, прям как в хитмане.
    Предпочитаете избегать боя? Пожалуйста, левел-дизайн заботливо предоставит вам возможность отыскать такие альтернативные пути к цели, которые избавят вас от необходимости встречаться с противником лицом к лицу.
    Предпочитаете забить на сюжетную составляющую и просто изучать мир игры? Перед нами одна из лучших игр для исследования. Контента, мини-историй и сайдов хватит вам на десятки часов, чтобы полностью игнорировать основной сюжет.

    Итог - 10 из 10. Игра, полностью превзошедшая своего предшественника и ставшая эталонным представителем жанра иммёрсив-сим. Она учитывает стиль каждого игрока и даёт ему возможность прохождения от начала и до конца в рамках этого стиля.    … Expand

    The release of Cyberpunk 2077 made my returning to this game, and I want to say the game is amazing. Awesome stealth gameplay (the best I've ever seen), nice visuals, good story. If you think the story is stale, then play Deus Ex 1 and Human Revolution. The only complain is that it's short compared to HR, and it will never get a sequel. That's the saddest part about this game.

    Improves on Human Revolution in pretty much every way, though still never matches the wonder and mystery of the original Deus Ex - the game is never really more than the sum of its parts as a "Deus ex prequel with modern graphics" though, those parts are pretty good on their all! I appreciated the approach to the depth over breadth open world as Mark Brown has also highlighted.

I really cannot understate the importance of just how well written this game is. The world, the setting, the interactivity.... everything breathes a level of intelligence that rewards your efforts. Sadly the gameplay itself feels flat in 2019 and the ai feels archaic and just barely functional at times.

The cities are alive and full of things to explore. The player is motivated to do all side missions and explore, it's real rewarding.

I only registered here to leave this review here because this game touched my heart and it is so undervalued compared to Human Revolution, which is an entirely different experience.

In my opinion Mankind Divided fully lives up to the Deus Ex name.

    You can always play it like an fps - take cover, use an aug or two and you will probably blast through the game within 10 hours or less. But by doing so you will probably be ignoring most of the carefully implemented ventilation shafts, hidden safes, alternative routes ang quite possibly also some easter eggs and other rewards. For me, a minimum of 2 playthroughs is necessary to experience everything. Because even the wittiest player can make a mess out of a situation with the outcome possibly blocking off alternative aspects. You can for example infiltrate optional sections of the gameworld before actually receiving the proper mission for it. And by doing so, completing the mission by skipping half of it. Every action has certain consequences. A different playstyle can obviously also produce a different outcome. Using diplomacy can be useful in obtaining allies rather than a gun-to-the-face approach. The diversity is what hooks me but could also be off-putting to other potential players.

    Side missions are few compared to other RPG's, but all of them are lengthier and more thought through than your average fetch quest. Many of them are multi parted and actually require to do some investigation without direct guidance from the developer. Main missions are mostly lengthy and take place within or in the outskirts of Prague. So there isn't as much globe-trotting as there was in Human Revolution. Prague can also feel small at first, but when you decide to explore the world fully, you come to realize that it can be rather overwhelming even.

    The interface is heavily inspired by the first Deus Ex, while the movement, augs and shooting follow the Human Revolution steps. It might take some getting used to, but the new approach can also bring back some heavy vibes from the first game. The game uses a heavily modified Human Revolution engine without the inherent yellow-ish piss filter, resulting in a much clearer and suitable look, as there is also daytime gameplay now (while Human Revolution took place almost exclusively at night). There is also a very agressive sharpening filter in place which results in some very sharp looking textures, but the effect could be off-putting for those who prefer a softer, more realistic look. Mankind Divided does run decently, a 30fps lock is mostly in place while traversing the cityscape, but occasional drops can occur when in combat.

    Overall the game is a real treat to Deus Ex, cyberpunk and/or RPG fans. The adaptive playstyle approach can make it appealing for fans of other genres as well, but like I said, a one-sided approach can possibly decrease the overall value of the whole package. Without actually spoiling anything, the only real critique for me would be that the stakes of the overall story arc seem to be lower than in previous games. Nonetheless it's still a good combination of political agendas mixed with conspiracies.

    Definitely a must-buy for a Deus Ex fan and I recommend others to consider it as well.    … Expand

    Alex the Kidd, Gamers of the Round Table

    Square Enix’s follow-up to their 2011 title Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Mankind Divided takes place two years after the events of its predecessor, and players take on the role of Adam Jensen once again in this cyber-punk RPG. With new augments, characters and story, does the latest Deus Ex title successfully develop its unique take on a dystopian future? or are players left with a lackluster sequel that can’t live up to its source material?

    The Good
    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided lets the player choose their control scheme. Whether you want to go with their default layout, Human Revolution’s layout or a generalized First-Person-Shooter control set-up, the player is offered a variety of control load outs to accommodate individual play styles. The familiar RPG elements make a return, more polished and with a new “overload” system that requires the player to use. “experimental” augments at the cost of damaging your systems or permanently locking out original choices. This brings a new level of unique customization to the franchise and creates consequences for players who choose to use the new abilities. Mankind Divided improves upon the idea that you can “play your way” throughout the game, whether you want to tackle a mission guns blazing, or you want to infiltrate and never be seen. In the previous installment, players found they were hindered for choosing to play the game with stealth when it came to boss fights; Mankind Divided creates situations where you can attempt to take down any enemy through any means, without making the player feel like they made the wrong choice.
    If you haven’t played Human Revolution since 2011, this game gives you the option to watch a compilation video to recap the previous game; narrated by Jensen, the twelve minute video covers all of the major plot point from Human Revolution, and is highly recommended if it has been almost five years since you played as Adam Jensen. Depending on your sound system, you may want to adjust your volume to put more emphasis on voice audio as the music score can drown out the narration (or enable subtitles before playing). The addition of the Deus Ex:
    Universe companion app allows players to access behind the scenes content created by the developers and shows their insight into how they came to develop the word and characters of Mankind Divided; the app is free to download and allows players to scan in-game collectibles to access the content through their mobile device. This comes as a welcomed addition for players who immerse themselves in the world of Deus Ex and allows them to experience the creative process behind the game.
    The Bad
    The Breach feature feels tacked on and out of place; the introduction to the game mode is immersive, yet the actual content feels forced and out of place. While the art direction for Breach can be praised, it comes off as an unnecessary online component. Players can compare their stats using leaderboards, but the game mode becomes quite repetitive, and is little more than a puzzle game. While you can earn praxis kits through Breach, it requires you to hold off from the main game for its benefits to having any weight.
    The biggest issue with Mankind Divided is its waypoint system – or lack thereof. Players must always refer to the map to find their objective, and there are several times throughout the game where mission objectives are not indicated on the map at all. Having to look online to find out where to go next takes away from the immersive gameplay; one mission requires the players to locate two individuals, but only shows the location of one without indicating where the other is. While exploring Prague is fun, wasting time looking for your objective is far from it.
    Rating
    9.5/10 - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided brings players back into the role of Adam Jensen in full force; while a few minor navigational mechanics that could use some fine-tuning, the game provides an immersive experience that allows you to handle any situation the way you want. This game not only follows up its predecessor, it stands on its own as an excellent video game. This is the quintessential espionage RPG gamers deserve.    … Expand

The gameplay is much sleeker, stealth feels more approachable without overpowering gunplay in terms of speeding through an area, your choices still have weight at times, and the story is still engaging.

    However, the few augments they add are not all that useful, and praxis kits are more plentiful than before. I've seen some reviews exploding at the game for microtransactions, but I didn't see one in my entire 40 hours of two playthroughs. Early in the game you are GIVEN TEN praxis points and if you're going sneaky that is literally all the points you'll ever need. I maxed out Jensen in less than a playthrough and a half. The biggest problem, the one that keeps this game from being a solid ten, is the obvious sequel baiting. The entire game builds up this underlying conspiracy, and never divulges a single thing about it. Where HR went through all these turns, maybe your boss is bad, maybe Megan is alive, the illuminati is real! Mankind Divided replays a couple of those but fails to wrap them up. It leaves room for an obvious third Jensen game, but it also leaves the player feeling somewhat hollow about the whole thing.

    Honestly, the game is well worth the $60 if you liked Human Revolution.    … Expand

While Prague is a step up from something like Detroit or Hengsha, I can't help but think that I would have wanted another city to explore.

    Graphics: Very pretty game, with the environments being extremely well done. But the lip syncing is awful (i urge you to use subtitles), and the non important NPCs have a glaring lack of detail compared to the important ones.

    The story is disappointing, especially from what I expect from a Deus Ex game. But it still isn't terrible, and I think some comments here are a tad harsh on it.

    Summary: If you got any enjoyment out of Human Revolution, then you owe it to yourself to check this game out at some point. For better or for worse, it's basically more of the same. Which is quite fine for me, since there aren't many games like Deus Ex on the market. I only wish there was more content.    … Expand

My time spent on this game was at least over 20 hours with multiple playthroughs and a new game + mode after beating the game. The game is set after 2 years from Human revolutions plot line; involving the Aug incident when all augmented people went on a killing frenzy which was apparently the worst casualties in human history. Played out by the cooperation " The Illuminati" , You as Adam Jensen have to go deep into the city of Prague and figure their next move and stop them from achieving their goal.

    Pros:
    -Variety of multiple choices of how to play through each mission type
    -Robust Augmented Build with multiple advantages
    -An in-depth story with multiple outcomes that changes each mission
    -Voice acting is superb with a serious intake of Adam's rough cigarette voice
    -A beautiful city to explore around in
    -Music is superb as well
    -Tighter and fluid gameplay
    Cons:
    -Even with the voice acting being amazing and the graphics being great, the lip syncing is mediocre; sometimes even kung fu dubbing bad
    -The city , though great and varied enough to look around in, is too small and with only one city to explore around, it feels like a step back from Human Revolution with it being in Detroit and Shanghai.

    This game was absolutely awesome and fun! First of all, the story plot, the characters, the voice acting, the soundtrack, and the whole experience was amazing. But however that was cut short by the surprisingly easy and short but sweet campaign. It took me at least about 7 hours to complete the game (Side missions not included) but overall the game was good.

    Great gameplay and an awesome location, as someone from Eastern Europe, modern Prague really amazed me, just like City 17 did a long-long time ago. Unfortunately, the story is just meh. The ending is rushed and feels unsatisfactory. The AI and other bugs are also a little disturbing, they should have released a more polished game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Though the game doesn't have a true PVP multiplayer, the game is definitely worth getting if you are into stealth, shooting, exploration, detective work and a bit of story telling. The story is suited for more mature audiences. It contains themes about spying, double agents and political conspiracy. It is linked to the Deus Ex world if you haven't played the previous original Deus Ex on PC, it will be slightly confusing with some of the characters and plots, so you would need to use Wiki a bit.

    There is a fantastic system of different dialogue choices to Bioware games such as Mass Effect but It has more of an effect on the future timeline than Mass Effect. The augmentation skill tree does offer new cool augmentations that are fun.

    What I like about these games is there is absolutely no grinding involved. You will get experience points regardless of how you choose to do tackle a certain task. I much prefer the passive knock out no kill stealth approach.

    Some people might not like the ending as it leaves you with many questions about Janus and the Illuminate, but it intentional and the beauty of that is that mentally and intellectually challenges you to deduce possible explanations or theories like a detective and encourage discussions in forum in regarding the many mysteries or questions left unanswered or undiscovered.

    You can learn a lot about the minor or semi major subplots by hacking computers and reading notes is what makes this like a great detective/spy game.

    Some might argue the story could have been more ambitious but people need to realise the illuminate is difficult to take down. Someone else is always a puppet of someone else.

    There are mysterious subplots that It makes you wonder who is the mole in Taskforce 29 or who did an entire refit of the augmented Adam Jensen. There is a lot of layers in the game's story telling and the sides missions are chained so they are interesting. it's not one of those collect 10 of these and deliver to stupid side missions.

    The graphics is definitely a level up from DE: HR. All in all it's shorter but higher quality game than HR. The game is highly polished and rarely is there a glitch or bug. The lighting is really good in the game too.

    There is a pretty decent characteristics for all major characters and TF29 NPCs. You can see their personality differences shine. But I think there could of been more work done especially for character McCready and Miller. Perhaps a more reason to care for TF29 Director Miller a bit more.

    The augmentation is pretty cool and the stealth take downs look pretty cool. I didn't use guns much besides the stun gun. But you can upgrade your guns with attachments or improving it's firing rate, accuracy or damage. But it's a bit hard to constantly use your abilities a lot with the limited energy bar, so you can only occasionally use it which does take the fun out of it if you decide to pursue a non stealth approach.

    Fantastic OST and dialogue.

    The only negative thing I can say about this game is the lip syncing is bit out of wack and some of the body language is over exaggerated but these are trivial matters.    … Expand

It's not without it's faults, some suspect lip syncing, dodgy character models and too many bugs/glitches (some often game breaking). Some would argue that the end comes far too soon and is far to abrupt just as the story starts getting tasty, although I feel it does lead well to potentially (and surely) a third installment of Adam Jensen's cyberpunk conspiracy ridden saga. The ending is left opened for another Deus Ex and a sense of an uncertain future. Despite some of it's flaws, the overall open world of Prague and different approachs to each mission along with the vast exploration and engaging storyline make this an essential purchase who like a bit more than your average shooter.

    The story of the game isn't as long as the first, but there are so many side distractions that will keep you busy for a much longer amount of time. The atmosphere of the story is really enjoyable as there is this tension between augmented people and "natural" people due to the "incident". The downside I'm really experiencing with the game is that the lip syncing is off when everyone talks.

    If you enjoy a game that lets you have a variety on how to take on tasks, free-roaming (to an extent), and finding hidden rooms and items this will be worth your money.

    If you are the type that just rushes the story and screams "done!" and shelves it, or you have a strong dislike about micro-transactions (which seems to be an alarming large amount of people) then I would skip this one.    … Expand

    What I found most interesting, is that it's basically every style a game can be pushed all into one game, like the stealth aspects, of hitman, enemy AI as a hitman plus call of duty game, with a level design of alien isolation, and gears of war, the hacking of watchdogs, dialogue options of Detroit become Human, and side mission and save aspect of skyrim.

    And most of all the final boss of the game. Victor, a very good antagonist, and particularly a nasty boss to deal with.

    There's a few cons about this game, such as.

    Rushed storyline.
    The combat could be updated due to uncomfortable combat at close ranges such as, near walls, vents, and in small rooms.

    DE:MD is to 2016 what Crysis was to 2007. Even on lower settings, this game looks phenomenal. People are stuck in their thinking about how settings relate to graphical power - they assume that Ultra should be playable at over 60fps as long as you use a top-end card. Normally, even I would expect my GTX 980 to run most games on Ultra without a problem. However, this game recommends High if you have a 4GB GTX 980 card. Not VERY High, not Ultra, just High. This has caused a lot of upset - which is fine if High looked terrible, but it doesn't. It looks better than nearly every other game out there right now.

    Those with £5000 gaming rigs are finding they can't hit a steady 60fps with everything turned up full, and it's not because the game is poorly optimised - on the contrary, compared to most other games, this game both looks and outperforms them at the right settings. It's important to remember that Ultra is not meant to be achieved by today's hardware; it is meant to be a setting that will still look good even in 5 years time, when technology has improved even further. This is a way of future-proofing this game's graphical potential for many years to come.

    So when they tell you to use High or Medium, rest assured that the game will still look amazing by today's standards, it'll just look even better compared to the advancements in a few years - games in 2021 will only then be looking as good as DE:MK does on Ultra settings. It would be no different if they simply locked the V.High and Ultra settings and unlocked them in a patch in 2019. People would think, "Wow, they made so many improvements 3 years after the game released in this patch!" when the truth would be that the improvements were always there, they just weren't available until then.

    I like the improvements to the AI. They seem quite more reactive and I was even surprised on the first level when I busted out my sniper for a long distance shot. The bad guy was looking in my direction. I'm so used to dumbed down AI I figured I was far enough away he wouldn't notice me despite looking right at me. However, this was not the case. He spotted me from way over on the other side of the level because of proper line of sight logic. That is refreshing to see and I wonder if the AI improves even more at a higher difficulty. That being said, stealth take-downs are still handled in the weird way from the first game where you're taken back to a 3rd person perspective for an extensive take-down scene. It's very un-stealthlike and kind of breaks the immersion factor.

    As per any AAA title, the graphics and voice work are top notch. Environments are immersive and full of details, but the levels are still kind of static like the first game. The art direction in this series is fantastic. However, the game feels too short and I see there is already talk of DLC coming out. Seems as though they left some important story moments in order to cash in on the DLC. It's unfortunate but that's the state of the industry these days. In the end though, I got what I wanted. More Deus Ex!

    If you have the patience for it though, I would wait for the inevitable complete addition which would come with the aforementioned DLC on disk at a reasonable price. I for one did not have the patience but I don't regret it since I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. Also, Breach mode is not to shabby and merits mentioning. It will extend your time with the game a little for sure. This game is solid.    … Expand

    This game kept me entertained and that's all I really ask in any video game. I didn't use most of the augmentations; mainly stuck with the basic ones. I did encounter some frame slips; mostly in Prague though.

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
    A loss of Magic

    Mankind Divided is a first person shooter slash stealth game that takes place 2 years after human revolution…
    If you haven’t played that game there is a recap video, but honestly human revolution is the much better game, so I’d recommend playing it first either way
    Very early in the game there’s a terrorist bombing.. You spend the rest of the game trying to get to the bottom of this and prevent future terror attacks…
    To bring peace to the division of augs and naturals
    this bombing though messes with your gear...
    You go get it fixed and it’s discovered that you’ve had more cool gadgets under the hood that you didn’t know about…
    These new added abilities are awesome, but they come at a price...
    Too many active will cause over heating, so you have to pick and choose... activate 1 and deactivate another... and much like every other ability and upgrade in the game you have to spend praxis points which are awarded by leveling up in game or by straight up buying…
    The microtransactions are buried, but there for those that want to max Jensen out early on…
    This is still Deus Ex… theres 17 main story missions and 12 side missions…
    The main story alone takes about 8 hours to complete… And while I personally found the story here much more intriguing than human revolution… The gameplay overall is miles worse...
    There is absolutely no depth here that made human revolution such a magic experience...
    The world here isn’t alive…
    Dialog choices seem to hold no weight, and the worst offense of all is that all sense of freedom from the past game has been removed…
    I’m a very aggressive player... and while yes, you can definitely play this game like a first person shooter…
    The game is almost designed completely against you…
    This time around instead of levels being designed for drop of a dime change of plan like getting detected.. It clearly wants you to try your hardest to sneak around…
    This is apparent with how quickly your energy drains when you use a perk…
    Your awesome new armor, or going invisible, lasts for a good half a second before your energy runs out... and theres hardly any biocells laying around or crafting parts to make one on the fly.. Making the system feel nearly useless for anything other than take downs…
    The game wants you crawling through vents instead of using all of the cool toys…
    There are also so many road blocks here that didn’t exist at all in the past game…
    In human revolution you could beat the entire game with only level 1 hacking as the game kept the hacking of story related doors simple…
    Here, they force you to pour your upgrades into hacking with level 2 and 3 locked doors after locked doors…
    Almost in a way encouraging those micro transactions for more skill points to pour there if you’ve ignored it, or to pour them into skills that actually compliment your playstyle…
    There’s also really no cool open areas…
    The game from start to finish feels like you’re walking around hotels… going from room to room…
    There is no attention to detail here…
    At least not up to the standard other deus ex games have created…
    This feels almost like ubisoft annual spin off title than a proper sequel…
    The story kept me going, and this is still a good game if you ignore the fact it’s supposed to be a deus ex game…
    Deus ex, isn’t hacking and augmented abilities…
    It’s a deep and detailed world… which is completely lacking…
    A surprise and welcomed addition this time around is a very cool breach mode which acts as a puzzle platformer, where you work with a hacking group to collect data…
    You run around using the same skills you do in the main game and also unlocks new skills and weapons as you progress through each increasingly tougher level…
    Definitely some brain teasers here and I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would…
    It’s almost a bonus game in itself
    All in All Mankind Divided is a decent game fans will play and at least mildly enjoy either way... It just doesn’t live up to its series standard and not something I could recommend for anyone that isn’t already a fan…

Also, the storytelling is weird: characters that are important are never introduced, a miriad details you can only guess, the overall feel like you've started playing someone else's save from the middle.

I really love the fact that you have so many different ways to do things, and of course you can either go stealthy or loud. The dialogue in the game makes sense and actually has a lasting effect on the story and NPCs, versus other games (like Fallout 4 in my opinion) that did not. I like the array of augmentations for Adam, and the gunplay felt smooth as well. I thought the main story was very interesting, but on a negative note, felt that it could of been developed a bit more. When I finished the game, I felt disappointed because I felt that that it ended very abruptly, and so I definitely feel they could have expanded on the main story more. I also did not like the main/final boss. In fact, it didn't even feel like a boss fight, but rather a fight with just a slightly stronger "normal" enemy. It wasn't very challenging or fun, and I didn't get that satisfaction from beating a boss when it was over. The game also did have some framerate drops here and there, but nothing too significant in my experience (I did play the game on the PS4). I don't know how Mankind Divided compares to Human Revolution, since I didn't play the previous game, but in my opinion, I thought Mankind Divided was a pretty good game, and compared to some other games that have come out recently, is definitely worth it.… Expand

One of my favorite things is the way they weave themes and characters from the original game into this prequel. They did an impressive job paying homage and interweaving the narratives between games. It would be interesting to see what the developers might be able to come up with next if they were to look at creating another sequel that, maybe say, coincides and overlaps with the timeline and events of the original game? Or maybe another prequel that occurs only *just* before the Deus Ex narrative? Or, maybe even better, a prequel to Invisible War? Something five or fifteen years after the Collapse, with the arcologies maybe having been only just finished, and with universal ammo not having been invented quite yet (lol)? So many possibilities.… Expand

    There are some great moments in this game that remind me of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but the game as a whole falls short of it's predecessor. At least Mankind Divided is not as disappointing as most of this generation's sequels. The core gameplay mechanics of sneak or shoot are as solid as ever.

For fans    There are some great moments in this game that remind me of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but the game as a whole falls short of it's predecessor. At least Mankind Divided is not as disappointing as most of this generation's sequels. The core gameplay mechanics of sneak or shoot are as solid as ever.

    Mankind Divided was famously delayed after the run-up to timed pre-order bonuses. For fans of the series, this was great because not only did we receive those pre-order bonuses without pre-ordering, we also received a very stable game. However, the game is visibly dated. Square Enix was clearly working on a release for Xbox 360 and PS3 during the game's 6 year development. The embarrassingly bad hair and clothing, the map sizes, and limited characters on screen all scream last gen. Worse, I've played last gen remasters that looked better. (Hint, the Naughty Dog games).

    The limited map sizes are made worse by the hub world. Instead of travelling all over the world like a bad ass cyber super agent, you spend most of your time in the depressing city of Prague. This would be fine if there was more to Prauge than a few small maps and a couple of interiors per map for you to loot. Perhaps the worst offender is the red light district. At first it comes alive at night when the usual boring street advertisement turn into red holographic pole dancers. In the red light district, though, there is little to sneak and discover. It is an empty piece of eye candy before you enter another boring set of alley ways sneak past and apartments to look. I most felt like I was playing a home burglary game.

    The second major issue in the game is the use of abilities and equipment. Abilities are unlocked with Praxis Kits and after a few days of playing, I figured out that my version of the game came with 5 Praxis kits. More can be purchased with micro-transactions. Without these 5 extra kits, the early game wouldn't feel much like DeusEx. Without unlocking abilities such as hacking, the game can easily devolve into a Call of Duty. With hacking and remote hacking, you become a true cyberpunk super spy. All this for only $0.99 per Praxis Kit.

    The equipment system is not marred by micro-transactions, but the equipment is annoyingly managed by a grid inventory system and a limited ability to stack items. I quickly run maxed out stacks and found myself traversing the hub world to store extra items in a locker. I cannot stress enough to game developers how much I dislike inventory management. For example, instead of having me run out of space for bio stimulants and then spend 15 minutes to store the extras, just let me hold one and increase its battery. Also make bio stimulants useful somehow. I went through the entire game without using any. Also, instead of finding crafting parts to upgrade gear, just let me find better gear that automatically replaces the less effective gear.

    The story in the game is so-so. Jensen is working for both Interpol and a shadowy hacking group. At certain points in the game, you have to decide which group to help, though the choices never bring the two into conflict. The ending also has two choices, but somehow I managed to resolve both outcomes anyway. The game is full of dialogue, e-mails, and little easter eggs. I even found the box art for Human Revolution in the game. All this could have been more interesting, and I found myself skipping e-mails and conversations. E-mails are mostly important for providing codes to terminals you could hack anyway and dialogue is mostly for context. Even the information did provide some kind of in-game clues to secret locations, the maps are so small that you are bound to stumble upon them anyway.

    All-in-all, though, this is a Deus Ex game at its core. You can stack some vending machines around a bad guy so that you can take him down without onlookers seeing you. You can remotely hack turrets and then pick up them up and toss them into a closet to disable them without raising an alarm. You can find alternate paths that avoid 90% of enemies. Maybe the morale here is that the sandbox alone is not enough to make a great game. Human Revolution had something special that made it one of my favorite games of all time. Mankind Divided just doesn't have it.    … Expand

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a complicated thing, but not the only one in the games industry. So much potential, so many problems, many questions and few certainties. Of course those certainties, are great and solid, but they can not be considered omitting big, big problems that this game has.

    Plot is an essential component in Deus Ex. Human Revolution's story was great, intricate and    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a complicated thing, but not the only one in the games industry. So much potential, so many problems, many questions and few certainties. Of course those certainties, are great and solid, but they can not be considered omitting big, big problems that this game has.

    Plot is an essential component in Deus Ex. Human Revolution's story was great, intricate and complex, and especially meaningful. Mankind Divided makes no exception, but it revolves on larger argument. Setting in Europe is very, very well done and nice. Story puts particular attention to thematics not so far away from our future, where in 2029 all people with augmented physical systems are put in lagers. Plot is brave because reflects, with different elements but the same ethics and discussions, about what means hate, fear and security in an age where these words have deep resonance. Our age where any excuse is good to take a large group of individuals and marginalize them due to cultural, physical or more differences. We know what terrorism is. We know it well, and often it blinds our judgment, buckling to innocent people, or entire peoples, the actions of a small group of individuals seeking to achieve an aim with use of violence. Sons of violence that are violent, because hatred does nothing but generate hatred, and often the perpetrators are themselves victims. It's not about justifying, but understanding. Understanding that we are all humans. We move into this distorted, piloted and sick reality. We are Adam Jensen, and he is each of us, in search of truth or hope. You know what the augmented terrorists match in the today's reality, right? Well, so no need to specify it. But these individuals are exploited and manipulated (leveling their hate) by corporations, governments and entities of questionable ethics, controlling informations. A great man once said: "the age of deterrence has become the age of control". Transhumanism, augmentation implants, loss of control, terrorism and social segregation. Unfortunately Mankind Divided's ends just at the climax, and in the end gave me the bad impression of being in front of an episodic game. A good plot twist during credits happens, I have to admit.

    Gameplay is real Mankind Divided's strength. The game takes what was good in Human Revolution and tends to amplify it. The more action-tendency, however, doesn't disturb the stealth component, which remains solid. Of course, stealth approach remains the true meaning to complete the game. Generally all abilities in the game are useful, even if not all of them are required to get a good play. There's choice, and this is good, cause it amplifies re-playability. The methods to accomplish a mission are many, and variable, can be used main access routes, or even secondary and hidden access; much more ways to get the objective than in Human Revolution. Game can be finished without killing anyone, even bosses. AI works, but it could have been made a lot better. Game is full of nice and fun sidequests; one I remember and really liked is "The Harvester-Last Harvest", to find a killer that terrorizes Prague – I was a step forward this mission, suspecting and understanding the truth time ahead. Indeed, it was fun.

    Graphically the game is great, Dawn Engine is a good leap forward compared to Human Revolution's engine, but bugs are not lacking. In artistic level design can be perceived a gap compared to the previous chapter. A more obscured and decadent design. It reflects cyberpunk's mood where Deus Ex probably excels unrivaled. The soundtrack is also great, and just like the art design, it fix well the feelings and the setting in the game's soul.

    Now putting aside for a moment the question of the unnecessary power-packs to pay for the single player (which I consider the lesser evil), what I'd like to reflect is the status in which this game was published. And I'm not talking about the console version, which generally has only few problems, but about the PC version: discriminated, poor optimized and left behind. I was born as a PC gamer and still I am, despite having the game on PS4, and for me to see a historical and rich series as Deus Ex, originally born and glorified in the PC world, reduced to this poorly optimized computer version, it horrifies me. You all, PC gamers: you're right. You're right to be angry, because of how you've been treated. The way they treated us. Unfortunately with this game, things went the way they did, it's bad but today great publishers care more to put first marketing and advertising before product's quality. And think that they declared to take six more months for further development and optimization. Ridiculous. They simply lied.

    Mankind Divided has a lot of good things, and it could have been even better, it could have been a masterpiece as Human Revolution. But with all its clear problems, this Deus Ex chapter is an another sad story in today's dark and almost hopeless videogames world.    … Expand

И каждое задание, каждая локация, каждый сюжетный поворот заставляют вас снова и снова напрягать свои извилины с целью найти верное решение, которое будет правильным исключительно для вас. Ведь благодаря огромной геймплейной и сюжетной вариативности Deus Ex можно отнести к той категории игр, которую вы будете с жаром обсуждать со своим знакомым, удивляясь его ходу развития событий внутри игры.

    Это тот самый "immersive sim" который мы заслужили спустя 5 лет ожидания. В условиях малочисленности игр данного жанра строго обязательно к покупке и ознакомлению. Да, это все тот же Deus Ex с крайне неприятной шутерной механикой и не самой впечатляющей графикой. Но во всём остальном это идеально выверенная и выгравированная киберпанк история (за исключением концовки, она оставила странное послевкусие). Поэтому если вы равнодушны к играм данного жанра -- можете смело проходить мимо. Но если в вас есть хотя бы толика азарта исследования, то к этому проекту как минимум стоит присмотреться.

    If you liked Human Revolution, than you will like this one as well. The tone of the game is great, the combat, stealth, and RPG elements are superb. Prague is a beauty to explore, and there are always different and new side quests that I'm still finding on my third play-through. The story was compelling, although a bit short.

    Very good game. Unfortunately the ending a bet out of place. Gameplay enjoyable, story in general is good, facial animation has become better. Hope third part will conclude whole story of Adam.

    If you liked Human Revolution, you should like MD. The game isn't short at all if you're a completionist or close to one, and try to do most of the side quests and explore all the areas. If you just try to blast through the main story ASAP, sure it's a little short. I don't play that way though.

    This game was by far the most complex futuristic game i have ever played and i don't play too many of them as i have never really preferred that type of realm.

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    … Expand

    Schwächen im Verhalten feindlicher Wachen, kleine Logikfehler, eine unhandliche Steuerung und ulkige Situationen, in denen ein starker Agent selbst in höchster Not keinen Finger krumm macht: Es wäre ein leichtes, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided anhand seiner technischen Schwächen als gutes, aber nicht ganz ausgereiftes Projekt abzutun. Das würde dem spielerischen Kern allerdings nicht gerechtSchwächen im Verhalten feindlicher Wachen, kleine Logikfehler, eine unhandliche Steuerung und ulkige Situationen, in denen ein starker Agent selbst in höchster Not keinen Finger krumm macht: Es wäre ein leichtes, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided anhand seiner technischen Schwächen als gutes, aber nicht ganz ausgereiftes Projekt abzutun. Das würde dem spielerischen Kern allerdings nicht gerecht werden. Denn Game Director Jean-Francois Dugas und Autorin Mary DeMarle haben einen interaktiven Roman geschaffen, der Spiel und Erzählung auf sehr reife Art miteinander verbindet. Die Geschichte um die Ängste vor Menschen mit fortschrittlichen mechanischen Körperteilen ist spannend und glaubwürdig. Gut geschriebene Charaktere tragen dabei nicht nur den spannenden Plot um das Verhindern eines terroristischen Komplotts, sondern vor allem eine persönliche Geschichte um einen stark augmentierten Adam Jensen, der als gesetzestreuer Agent zwischen den Fronten des gesellschaftlichen Konflikts steht. Das Besondere ist, dass man diesen Konflikt nicht als außenstehender Held beobachtet oder einfach auflöst, sondern selbst hineingezogen wird. Man spürt die „mechanische Apartheid“ am eigenen Leib. Man erlebt kleine und große Geschichten, die alle mit dem roten Faden oder Adams Person verbunden sind und erschließt einen Schauplatz, der im Gegensatz zu vielen offenen Spielewelten nicht in die Breite gezogen wurde, sondern in die Tiefe geht. Die Entscheidung über das Auftreten gegenüber anderen Charakteren und das Anwenden von Gewalt liegt immer beim Spieler. Alle Folgen ergeben sich aus dem gewählten Weg. Das zum Kennenlernen der Welt oft illegale Erkunden der weitläufigen Umgebung beißt sich zwar mit der Charakterisierung des zielstrebigen Agenten – dennoch ist Deus Ex: Mankind Divided ein ebenso erwachsener wie fesselnder Cyberpunk-Thriller!… Expand

    По сравнению с предыдущей частью сюжет немного слабоват, так как в нем было меньше каких-то значимых, больших событий. Но подача истории, дополнительные квесты и дизайн уровней прекрасны.

    「Human Revolution」と比較して、重要なイベントが少なかったから、筋が少し薄い。でもゲームの物語が良く伝えられている。サイドミッションは面白くて、レベルデザインは凄い。    По сравнению с предыдущей частью сюжет немного слабоват, так как в нем было меньше каких-то значимых, больших событий. Но подача истории, дополнительные квесты и дизайн уровней прекрасны.

    Aside from the smaller-feeling plot, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided improves upon its excellent predecessor in every other way. Its impeccably designed environments are flush with possibility, remaining completely coherent while supporting a wide variety of routes and character builds, and Jensen’s prodigious new feats of techno-wizardry add new dimension to both combat and exploration.

    While the story feels like a DLC in between other main events and the themes of racism and cyberpunk have lost their magic from last time, the gameplay is the best its ever been.

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided как по мне игра - противоречие.

    Мне невероятно зашла Human Revolution, кажется дело за малым. Бери её, подтягивай графику, рисуй новые города, дорабатывай старые, вводи новые боевые перки и всё. Все счастливы. Ан нет.
    Начну с картинки. Да лицевую анимацию доработали, но визуально игра, может из за общего цветофильтра, сильно не изменилась, просто переход на новое поколение.
    Боевая система приросла несколькими видами нового оружия, но честно говоря, игра не плохо проходится и со старым арсеналом.
    Теперь боссы. Они новые, но какие то не брутальные по сравнению с первой частью. Да теперь их можно заболтать, но тогда в игре вообще останется только один босс.
    Ещё мне не очень понравилось то, что из игры пропали практически все персонажи первой части.
    Но всё это ерунда, это просто переосмысление оригинала и новых мощностей, и игре идёт даже в плюс.
    Больше всего расстроила меня новая структура мира. В первой части это были мегаполисы будущего: Детройт, а найти человека кому не понравился бы остров Хэнша в КНР будет очень трудно. В Mankind Divided всё сжалось до одноуровневой Праги которую не дают даже целиком пройти. Небольшой кусочек и в метро, опять кусочек и снова метро. Есть два ответвления но они такие же линейные и одноуровневые. Короче мир сильно подрезали, а с ним и ту самую атмосферу будущего тоже. Зачем? Почему? Не знаю.
    Резюмирую. Human Revolution делали вкладывая душу, хотя Crystal Dynamics Engine сильно подрезал визуальный ряд игры. А вторая часть делалась для срыва бабла на хайпе первой. Хотя игра хорошая, была бы даже замечательная, не будь Human Revolution!    … Expand

    Mankind Divided is a great sequel, but doesn't quite reach the amazing quality of the Human Revolution. The lack of boss fights was also disappointing. Dystopian Praque was absolutely awesome.

    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.
