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

    I looked forward to this game, I really did...but even early on I am disappointed to find that they did not touch the AI or the combat system. It's still clunky, which was okay 5 years ago, but they could have done something with it in that time. The story is good and visuals are great but the AI and combat system needed an upgrade.

    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!

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.

    GREAT game! One of the best I've ever played! I'm using Ps4 pro, which allows 4k/HDR. Great sense of freedom, beautiful graphics, good responsive controls, amazing and complex story. 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.

    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

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.

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.

    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

    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.
