    I'm giving this a 10 because it is an incredible game with great replayability, superb graphics, and a good story. It isn't perfect, but it definitely is between a 9 and a 10.

    Deus Ex human revolution was a good and very solid game back in 2011, one game that made me replay over and over (thing that i rarely do on my nearly 30years of gaming). This game doesn't reinvent the wheel, doesn't reinvent Deus EX, but what it does is more the same but isnt a copy paste, no the same but more solid, expanded, and refined each aspect of the game.

    Huge fan of Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution here and am happy to report that Mankind Divided delivers in every single way; this is no Invisible War scenario here. The main story tackles things you'd expect from a Deus Ex game (the Illuminati and the conspiracy theories you've come to know and love the franchise for), but it also delivers in spades when it comes to side missions.

I'd argue that these side missions are on par with the quality side missions in The Witcher III and Dying Light. If you're a fan of RPGs and stealth games, Mankind Divided will have you falling head over heels in love with it. The hub world in Mankind Divided is huge, dense, and had a lot of secrets to discover. As for the gameplay, it's better than ever, and there are 4 different control options to satisfy everyone. This is a must buy game.… 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!

    Maybe my game of the year. Its complex, nice stealth mechanics. Augmentations are fun, interesting story. Awesome cyberpunk universum. Beautiful soundtrack. And Adam Jensen is one badassmo......er. Its addictive. I forget my time when i play it. I feel like im in prague when i play it.

    The voice acting and synchronisation (in german) is not the best. The only negative i have to say.    Maybe my game of the year. Its complex, nice stealth mechanics.

    I brought this new on release for my new pc and something about the gameplay flow early on didn't quite gel with me at that time and I put it down... 3 years later I returned only on the ps4 pro and something felt VERY right this time.... 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. I really hope there is a sequel to this story and that a future effort could find the audience it deserves!    … Expand

    Adam Jensen is back!!! Mankind Divided keeps all the things that made human revolution one of the best games of the last generation, but in a bigger and interconnected world with much more missions and better graphics.

    Please, do not listen to the sad and nostalgic guys that loved the first Deus Ex, this is the second part of a master piece and you cant miss it.

    Both the elements of stealth and action are very satisfying. It's a great sequel in the aspects of sound, action, story, graphic, and more. I especially like the choices that I can make throughout the game. The alternatives make me feel like I'm in the game as a real character.

    Challenging. Layered. O the gameplay. O the setting. O the design. As good as the last one. Non-invasive micro-transactions. Great non-lethal options. Freedom to make many creative choices. Rewarding. Immersive. Complex. Captivating. Other adjectives. Corny plot. I love corny plots.

I mean, I can't say enough good things about this game. It's beautiful. It's rich and immersive. 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

Many difente ways to play., as soon as i finished i started another play through. Totally worth it, hope this game becomes bigger and bigger with new releases.

    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.

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

    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.
