When i first played Human Revolution, the night streets of Detroit were so real, despite the game not being open world, the story was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!! Mankind Divided did Not dissapoint at all. I don't know why the game didnt sell much but i believe ita due to it being for more mature audience, rather than young players.

    Cons
    - story feels weirdly cut short
    - some of the worst microtransactions ever made
    - the lack of polish is felt in the occasional crashes
    - even though all playstyles are facilitated, gunplay feels awkward compared to its contemporaries

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was a long awaited sequel to the fantastic Human Revolution. So how did it deliver? Meh.

    What I meant by that does not apply to the game side. When you are playing the Mankind Divided this thing feels like a 9/10 product. The sprawling level design of Prague offers every kind of approach to anything you attempt to do.

    As somebody who dislikes stealth there is just something so satisfying about the Deus Ex brand of stealth that makes me want to ghost through levels. What helps is the new additions of tools as in the Icarus Dash, TESLA and Overclock, which make you a god compared to anything in the game.

    One of my favorite levels in the entire game is the Palisade Property Bank. This is just a part of Prague but it ends up being one of the most memorable experiences in the entire game. A perfect mix of stealth puzzle solving that never feels like it overstays its welcome. And this whole level is optional.

    Other than that, the Rucker extraction and London are some of the finest level designs you will find in this game. What also helps is that this game has some of the more interesting side quests, that will take you through a bunch of fantastic optional locations, working fantastically as a showcase for this game.

    Where the game lacks is the Main Story. Don't get me wrong, what the game has is great, the issue is what's missing. The game ramps up in how interesting it gets and that it kind of hard cuts without resolving a bunch of stuff. This makes it feel weirdly rushed.

    What adds to that feeling, is the general lack of polish. For example, just to make sure, I started a New Game five times just to make sure, but there is a guaranteed crash that happens in the immediate train station cutscene after the tutorial. Other than that, the game randomly crashed on me three more times in my 25 hour playthrough.

    Also, while the game technically supports you playing it like Call of Duty, the gunplay feels terrible. If you are firing out of stealth, you won't notice it. But my god once you trip an alarm, reload. Cause if you don't, you will be subjected to some of the most awkward gunplay in gaming.

    To top this off, this game features the most garbage microtransactions in the history of gaming. Most of its microtransactions are consumables that can be used once. Not per save, once ever. So if you buy skill points with real money, you can only redeem them on one save and that is it. Same goes for any ammo from the preorder bonuses. Who thought this was a good idea?

    In conclusion, this is a 9/10 game that is brought down to a 6/10 by some of the most avoidable problems. Like the finest chocolate cake glazed with diarrhea, you can scrape off the glazing, but there will be times when you get a whiff of feces that seeped into the otherwise perfect cake.    … Expand

    So much wasted potential. The game ended at what felt like a lead up to the climax. If I hadnt done any of the side missions I wouldve finished in a few hours. Lots of useless upgrades and items too.

They've added a lot of tunnels, explorable buildings, etc, but the setting just didn't cut it. It doesn't look memorable. I wish they used China, or the US like in the previous deus ex, which worked so much better.
    Stealth? It's all about stealth. There's a ton of skills, perks, hiding spots and vents. Any mission can be beaten without firing even 1 bullet. And, at the same time, they've nerfed it by adding multiple non-stealth attack skills. The moment you stop hiding, the game becomes your generic middle of the road FPS.
    Hacking? It's there, it's represented by minigame, it's fun. On the same time, it's mostly useless. While in the previous game there were a lot of high tech stuff like turrets and robots for you to hack and use, in this one there are about 5 hackable robots in the whole game.
    Plot? Well, I've completed a few boring intro missions, did a few side quests. The moment things started to get interesting- first bossfight, first conspiracy, the moment I expected to finally get out of Prague and continue to the next location... the credits appeared.
    1 city. 1 boss. About 20 missions. I guess I could have beaten the game in like 3 hours or less. Compared to the previous game, it felt more like a demo version.
    Oh, and the game is in awful state. It's still buggy- they've never even fixed random crashes. In some places it just lags horribly, even on modern hardware.
    All in all, I did enjoy what felt like an inferior laggy demo of a deus ex human revolution.    … Expand

    The most underrated game of this generation! The most unique level design of all time, entertaining & brutal, but such realistic plot, and deeper gameplay compare to Human Revolution. I spend more 120 hours in this game and it was my best game experience of all time. I TOTALLY ASKED FOR THIS, 10/10

    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

    The upgrades are all really fun and feel useful and honestly beat Cyberpunk 2077's augments in almost every aspect, all though levelling can feel a little slow at times.

    Not very interesting story. I started to play this a few years ago. Didn't finish. Picked up again and remembered it isn't very interesting game. And it's riddled with stupid hacking minigame. Probably not going to finish again.

    The world's storytelling of show not tell and giving you hints that are interconnected with other quests or characters is flawless, and even if all you have to explore is Prague, it is so well done that it never feels like it's enough.

    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

    There are the makings of a 9 or 10 here but as it is it isnt worthy of it. The game is unfinished. Not 'cyberpunk 2077 unfinished' but 'missing a couple of Acts' unfinished. Its clear these cuts were made with the intention of selling them to us at a later date (and the storm surrounding the games microtransactions put paid to that). They shouldve learned their lesson from the prequel. Obnoxious attempts to relate it to current (then and now) politics sour the narrative and induce cringe.
    Jensen is a great near iconic protagonist who deserves better. The game wouldve been a smash if they had focused on finishing it rather than vulturizing it with intent to sell it back to us.    … 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.

    - The music doesn't create cyberpunk atmosphere these time around. So all the atmosphere is gone :(
    - Jensen wears glasses all the time. It makes him harder to relate to.
    - The Prague setting doesn't work well for the missions. Why everyone is helping Jensen and asking him to be a detective? It made sense in his native Detroit. But here police is brutal. Still everyone cooperates. Weird.

    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!!!

    Garbage. Gameplay is hardcore, but loading times are ridiculous. Stealth abilities are useless due to limited energy, and when you fail you get punished by 40 seconds of a dull loading screen. The only way to play is a GoW-style shooter. Except GoW is better at it.

    Best game ever made, hands down. The symbolism in the story and how the plot wraps up are fully intentional, and superb. Big political and sociological topics are touched without being overly heavy; vague but not overly vague, just how a great narrative should be. Cinematically brilliant, and beyond compare.

    So this is the first Deus Ex game I have played. After seen the recap video of Human Revolution (nice addition to those, including me that haven't played HR) I was looking forward to this and I figured the key elements of its complex story.

I didn't understand    So this is the first Deus Ex game I have played. After seen the recap video of Human Revolution (nice addition to those, including me that haven't played HR) I was looking forward to this and I figured the key elements of its complex story.

    Then the game happened. It may be me who don't get the deus ex universe, but up until the Golem City mission, I was quite bored. I didn't understand the Augs you have in your arsenal nor how to either go stealth or full rampage. However after Golem City I kinda figured out the basics, and the story also begin to takes its form. I really thought this was gonna be an excting and dramatic ending. But I was wrong, Without spoiling it, it was quite an uneventful ending.

    Storywise, it is a complex story, and i don't understand the Deus Ex universe yet, but at the high tense moments, i enjoyed it. And it is an interesting concept with Augs vs Humans. But it kind of felt flat with that ending, and I didn't feel like I had accomplished anything. But it had its moments. A thing that bothered me, was the dialoque. Like it okay with some eventful dialoque, but sometimes it just dragged on and on, with more talk than action. Which sometimes made it boring.

    Gameplaywise, well, the first half of the game, i didn't understand the fundamentals, which unfortunately ruined my experience. When i figured it out, the gameplay was fun, with different routes to complete the missions. The Augs in your arsenal, there was a lot to choose, but I just sticked with the invinsibility one which I had succes with. A thing I got frustrated with was the inventory, Yes I know thats the more realistic, but there were a lot of things I wanted with me, to make a succesful mission. But that's how it is. And I am not a fan of both playing as 1st and 3rd person. The cover system of course helps that is 3rd person, but I just wanted to play as one of the perspectives and not both.

    To sum it up, okay story, but with a dissapointed ending. Gameplay is fun, however quite complex to start with, which resulted in a bad experience for me and some places even boring.    … Expand

    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

    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.    … Expand

Ok, guys, get ready for the mix feelings. I know the Deus Ex franchise, and I`ve played the original Deus Ex, as well as for the previous game in this series the Human Revolution. I`ve beaten this game two times already, INCLUDING the hardest difficulty, with the two styles of gameplay (the Rambo and the Stealth styles), so here are my thoughts for you. I`ll list all, so you can decide.

    The Cons:

    - This game is not balanced between the two styles of gameplay. If you play the Stealth you will get around 110% more XP reward for everything you do, and most Jensen`s Augmentations (including the new ones) are way more biased toward Stealth. Thus, if you like to shoot your way into missions, be prepared to get fewer rewards.
    - There is too much Hack in this game. Hacking was always a thing for Deus Ex, since the first, but this game overdue the amount of Hack. You can easily find codes around, and new entrances to bypass but are just a lot of hacking.
    - I didn`t find the story as compelling in this game that it was on Human Revolution. I`m not even comparing to the original, because the original is the best.
    - I get that Augmented people are hated now, because of the incident from the last game, but is just too much. Around 80% of people you talk are complete a**ho***. Like. Every. People. You. Talk. This discourages you to talk to NPCs because you just had enough of rude people.
    - Breach. This is a parallel game mechanics, not related to the main game. HERE, is where they inserted the microtransaction. Breach is just disgusting. Its ugly is not fun, is annoying, has no glory at all. It's just some c**p they inserted to choke coins out of you. I can even begin to explain how dreadful this is. And this c**p has 4 trophies for the Platinum. Argh.

    The Good:

    - Like the previous, the combat is great.
    - Jensen`s new Augmentations are neat. Really, they are neat.
    - There are tons of ways to do a mission, so this game gets a 10 in this. You can completely choose your way. Dozens of ways to get around in both Stealth and Combat. Thus, you will enjoy exploring this world.
    - Here is the best part of this game (for me): The Sidequests. These sidequests are masterpieces. They are UNIQUE, INTERESTING, EMOTIONAL. Really, this is the best part, do all of them.
    - The graphics are awesome, the texture is well made.
    - The major NPCs have interesting personalities and the Social Aug has some utility now, in contrast to the previous entry in the game.

    I recommend you play the game because it's good. But you will face some problems. Breach is a pathetic excuse of parallel mechanics, stay away, but the main game is pretty good. The only problem is the unbalanced reward system for Rambo and Stealth players in terms of gameplay. And the lack of deep story, because this time it feels too shallow about 70% of the game. Nevertheless, it's not a bad game, is still really enjoyable for the good mechanics and fun missions.    … 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.

    Replay value: 9/10, I'm glad there's a ng+ option

    Difficulty: 7/10 when played on normal it delivers a good enough challenge for me to enjoy.

    Three years passed and Deux Ex: Mankind Divided is now regarded as a “great disappointment”, “weak version of Human Revolution” or, simply put, a failure. I was influenced by mainstream opinion, my expectation were very low. Well, thank you haters, because thanks to you I enjoyed the game very ,very, very much.

    Adam Jensen was saved in Missing Link, got recruited into TF29,    Three years passed and Deux Ex: Mankind Divided is now regarded as a “great disappointment”, “weak version of Human Revolution” or, simply put, a failure. I was influenced by mainstream opinion, my expectation were very low. Well, thank you haters, because thanks to you I enjoyed the game very ,very, very much.

    Adam Jensen was saved in Missing Link, got recruited into TF29, international counter-terrorist organization, simultaneously covertly spying for Juggernaut Collective, hacker group of liberty and truth. Two years passed since the horrendous accident when augmented people went mad and started killing everything on site. Such tragedy result 90% loss of augmented population but, more importantly, created a 74000 km contemp rift between “naturals” and “augs”. Let’s get started - this “racism” theme is the main flaw of DE:MD.

    The game is simply overloaded with it. You can’t make a step without overhear, oversee, overplay yet another trite “naturals vs augs” element. The story revolves around apprehending aug revolutioner, the main design concept of Prague (and any other location) is segregation of augs, 70% percent of quests are about misfortunes of augs, and (can you imagine?) 80% percent of all auxiliary information is about the theme. The sheer amount is already ridiculous but what is even more stupid is the realization: antagonization of augs and naturals is narrow-minded, one-sided and corny, straight from the fifth grade textbook.

    The second and third flaws of DE:MD are main plot and overall setting caliber. The game is just less grandiose. While in original DE and in HR we had two city-hubs, in MD we will roam Prague for entire game. Prague is awesome but after 20 hours anything becomes tiring and dull. The situation is worsen by the low quests to territory size ratio and unimpressive storyline. It follows a confrontation with typical russian bandit while whole juice of DE series (secret society upturns) is left for next game, which may never be released.

    Gameplay a classic free roam, multi-path level system. Adam Jensen can squeeze into ventilation shafts, jump three meters high, smash walls, prance on electricity, savor acid gas, hack locks, falls from five-storey building, convince secretaries to save the world… All these solutions are present in abundance throughout the game! Wherever you want to break into, there are always numerous ways, usually three-four. And places to break into… just wow! Eccentrics’ apartments, garages leading to huge vaults, roofs winding into gang territory, intricate treasure basements, secret rooms, bank riviling Thief 2 counterpart (!). All are supplied with story: in one place reporter came to investigate suspicious company, in other lucky guy won lottery and in third… someone is spying after you! Yes, most of the time it’s exhausting text logs but sometime you may stumble upon quests, all of which are sophisticated and multistage.

    Prague is tremendously gorgeous. A breath of fresh air after overused landscapes of futurized cities. The blend of classic european architecture and advanced technology, choice of colors, ambient music - the mood of DE:MD Prague is real and unforgettable. As is the graphics. I played GoW just before MD - not much difference. And considering that MD is first-perspective RPG where you can move and zoom into any piece of garbage… The only downside of MD is character models - there are very limited and identical so don’t surprise to encounter John Doe in multiple quests under different names.

    The old aug tree returns with additions. Shoot nano blades, become invincible to physical damage, hack from distance, etc. - all new augs are useful and balanced. So character development is already better than HR (but still worse than in original DE). I will generalize: game is balanced in general. Praxis kits are always too few, ammo is scarce, parts are spent to quickly. Combat is not trivial and interesting: lack of crosshair, realistic feel, smart cover system, tough armored units. Stealth is smart: any task can be resolved via stealth and diplomacy, logical alarm system, plausible AI, usage of noise. Mechanic wise MD is magnificent. If only they removed this unfair favouritism of stealth approach… Like in HR, being sneaky and merciful is still way more profitable (exp) than being killing machine.

    I have to finish on sad note. The fourth and last flaw of MD is that it relies too much on players own initiative. Half of playtime I spend on baseless, self-induced sightseeing, not even including quests. But what about people who does not wander into every corner without reason, who does not inspect every spot for 10 minutes? In one word: majority? For such people HR provided dynamic mind-blowing story, regular quests, many locations. And MD, MD will be quite shallow… Can’t argue with that. It’s not a sandbox game, Eidos Montreal, what lies bare is what most will see.

Underneath all that other polish the performance is not good with some on screen stuttering in the open map city area's.

    Like every Deus Ex inventory management is a game logic nightmare. Why do some things take so many spaces and items need to stack individually like differing alcohol I will never know? Hacking always annoyed me in all the games (love those multi-tools). I liked using the stealth and secret ways. Combat is ok, but nothing really pulse pounding. The new click to cover system I hardly needed to use, but is a nice option.

    The story and characters were not very engaging, but the gameplay and the locals were a fun combo even if a lot restrictive at times. As a Interpol agent it was hard to morally go full criminal murdering robbing stealing scum bag on basically cops and mostly neutral factions. I spent most of the time dealing with people via dull dialogue or just knocking mini hordes of people out with the fun non-lethal bio-charge takedowns. I had a couple of small fire fights with some gangster types, but I mostly knocked those gangster types out. Due to the stealth being so easy to pull of in this game and KO nearly everything going. Game gives you a ton of cool lethal stuff, but Interpol are not murdering robbing stealing psycho’s, so.

    Summing up weak story, characters, dialogue, overpowered stealth game play on normal and most of the lethal gear is just plain overkill on normal. Suffers from balancing issues across the board from writing to gameplay for sure. However I still had fun with it and fun is why I game, so.    … Expand

    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

Boss battle towards the end was a grind, nonsense for newcomers to this franchise like me. I had to constantly heal even on the LOWEST difficulty and significant experience in FPS games, I was just hiding, peaking, shooting and healing again over and over, I understand that game wants you to play smart, but I can see clear changes in difficulty throughout the missions.
    In addition, every time big event happens and quasi-open world map re-sets, bunch of locations that I previously opened are now closed, game keeps throwing new items in places I have already been and looted, and looting/inventory is just a mess too. Also, sneaky "new game+" is cool but clearly exists to justify poor XP system. You can pass all side missions and do all missions and still NOT HAVE all skills unlocked, and this is not good. Praxis system should be way more forgiving (microtransactions are very bad here). Game just ends... it has very few interesting characters who were badly developed. backstory and connecting pieces to last games were also poorly done. Ok now good things:
    the game is awesome in terms of universe, options you can take, abilities. Level design is clever too, you can craft items that will definitely help you .

    Now the world in which it's set and the various ins and outs make exploring fun and enjoyable, and the movable objects to throw at people and how everyone one wants to kill you adds the sense of shooter free elements to spice up your play through.

    However that is where the enjoyment of my time with the game peaked, putting it down in less than a few hours, why? Well the game hopes to be something that to me feels outdated, for example the limited inventory space, the way guns cost way too much, how after impaling 100 bullets into the mechs it still comes down to whipping out your stun gun and keeping momentarily inactive and how you think stealth is stealth when in fact your not stealthy at all.

    Seems like a rant but the matter is that you play this game with the idea to get this game in this modern decade of games to realise it plays like a game made 10 15 years ago just with some updated graphics. The fact is this game is much on the same reasons I put Human Revolution down, too grindy and heavily depends on stealth even though that's not always possible 80% of the time.

    Overall the game looks nice and plays to a degree of not bad, but the above mention additions and constant feeling like this is a game past it's prime defines that the idea of this game is done and dusted.    … Expand

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.

Where Human Revolution had a great blend of light RPG mechanics and most importantly, great story, characters, art style and an immersive game world, it was let down by its relatively basic game engine (which was clearly designed for underpowered consoles to run Final Fantasy XIII). As a result, the combat was never quite as polished as it could've been and the graphics were dull. Mankind Divided, with its state-of-the-art Dawn engine and frequent presence in benchmarks should surely then make what was an already brilliant game into a near-perfect one. Has it? Clearly not.

    Let me start by saying that Mankind Divided does indeed look and play better than Human Revolution in terms of its mechanics and combat, but not by a significant amount. The character models, UI, cover system and experimental augs are cool. However as with the previous game, the problem is that the game's achievements discourage combat. Whilst playing the game stealthily is fun, the augmentations and weapons make no difference here, you may as well have an inventory only of biocells for going invisible and tranquilizer and stun gun. The game is litered with loot items - far more than you could ever need or make use of. If like me you explore every nook and cranny and check it over multiple times just to be sure, you're going to be astounded by how much stuff is lying around. When you do engage in combat, the game's RPG nature makes it awkward because you have to have painkillers or health stims as well as useful weapons and augs mapped to convenient keys.

    What really kills any purpose of the improvements in this area is the lack of bosses. I can accept going through the game in a stealthy manner but when I save up all the good stuff in my inventory I want a chance to use it at some point in boss fights. Unfortunately there is really only one boss fight right at the end of the game, the others are just "mini-bosses" in side quests which you may or may not encounter depending on how you play it. Which brings me on to my next point: the story. It seems that with Mankind Divided, they put more effort into the side quests than the main missions! Whilst Human Revolution had a healthy mix of main and side missions with meaningful choices and rewards which added to the immersion, Mankind Divided's story and side quests don't seem to be quite so cohesive, espeically the main story. Despite playing for around 50-60 hours on my first run, it feels much shorter and far less eventful than Human Revolution. There are too many loose ends, unanswered questions and overall a lack of clear direction. Then there's that infamous abrubt ending, where the developers took the laziests possible approach of explaining things through Picus News. Remember those five epic endings and cutscenes which left you with a profound sense of astonishment and moral humility in Human Revolution? Yeah you can forget anything close to being that epic in this game. Even the choices in the main story feel inconsequential. Whilst the game lore is still there, there is no cohesion - you read and hear about characters more than you actually see and interact with them.

    Now I expected the story to be disappointing based on the reviews, and even then I finished the game without a sense of satisfaction. The teaser in midst of the credits didn't make matters any better either. Overall I didn't feel like the story had a good flow to it - every part felt distinctly separate. Overall I am disappointed with this sequel. Although Human Revolution set the bar very high, the least I expected was something which is on par but with better graphics. Without a shadow of doubt I can say that Human Revolution is MUCH better. I would only recommend this game if you're really in the mood to jump back into the Deus Ex universe, but don't expect some masterpiece.    … Expand

It has almost no connection to previous game and doesn't stand out by itself. Just another flick about illuminati and clash of classes, which made me cringe most of the time.

    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

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.

    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.

    One of the best games that year.

    Ever wonder why it was called Deus ex: Mankind Divided? Thats cause they divided this game from the ending. If it wasn't for the cut ending and then square sending the dev team off not to finish the series but to do some marvel game which yeeeeah marvel games but at the cost of a great IP? God knows how many years we are going to have to wait for the    One of the best games that year.

    Oh yeah and what's with them micro transactions? We want to play games! Not pay them to play them for us! Who the hell is buying that crap?.. Most probably the people who augmented their preorders.    … 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.

    Mankind Divided was famously delayed after the run-up to timed pre-order bonuses. 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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
