    This should have been as beautiful and fun as Human Revolution, instead it was a very poor successor! How did they get it so wrong? What the hell happened to Megan Reid? I remember Jensen saying that 'this is not over' to her near the end of human revolution? Here is my review by numbers: -
    Story 3/10
    Graphics 4/10 (last gen looking)
    Sound 6/10
    Gameplay 4/10

    Just bland and rubbish!

    I was really excited to play this game and really wanted to love it but the more I played it the less I liked it. I love the character Adam Jensen but every one else in the game feels hollow and bland. By the end of my game plus play through I had upgraded everything and it didn't make any difference because the power drains away so quickly that the powers are virtually useless.

By the end of my game plus play through I had upgraded everything and it didn't make any difference because the power drains away so quickly that the powers are virtually useless. Nothing was fun and there is so much forced replay it is insulting. There is one level of this game lifted right out of Assassin's Creed. The game is a grind and no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't wring out any fun from it. Notice that I played through it twice so I gave it every opportunity to win me over but it just didn't happen. Very sad and very disappointing. Human Revolution was really fun to play and a lot longer game but never got boring or repetitive but this game is no where near as good. What a heart breaker.… Expand

    Deus ex MD in a nutshell:
    A.J. : Ok...I'm going after the real enemy now guys!
    THE END.
    WTF?
    One time use DLC with seasonal pass.
    Free DLC requires an account to be made with SE and is one time use.
    Never buying from Edios after 2 abominations in a row.

    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!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра - жалка копия Deus Ex Human Revolution. Невнятный сюжет, который не вызывает интереса. Главного героя окружают невнятные, нехарактерные персонажи. Прага - полное коридорное убожество. Зачем вообще она понадобилась - непонятно. Остальные локации тоже невыразительные коридоры в которых ничего не запоминается. Русская озвучка временами так себе. Многие герои и героини говорят нарочито примитивно. Непонятно что может вызвать интерес после предыдущей части. Плюс анимация очень плохая и тоже местами примитивная. Таким образом игра не вызывает никакого большого желания в нее играть. Нет интриги, непонятно зачем выполянть пожелания и зачем дальше двигаться по сюжету, потому что гг никого особо не спасает, ничего толкового не расследует. Это провал(… Expand

    Worst game in the series so far. The series has been about stealth or combat but this game punishes you for trying stealth. Early in the game it is fine but by the final 3rd it's like the devs want you to use combat. It is a painstakingly slow, brutal process to try to sneak around. Get used to reloading a lot as the AI is able to hear you drop from a ladder through a rainstorm, cars andWorst game in the series so far. The series has been about stealth or combat but this game punishes you for trying stealth. Early in the game it is fine but by the final 3rd it's like the devs want you to use combat. It is a painstakingly slow, brutal process to try to sneak around. Get used to reloading a lot as the AI is able to hear you drop from a ladder through a rainstorm, cars and noise of the city (oh and from a block away). Yes there are vents and a sewer system that you can sneak around in, but - most of them go nowhere or damage you if you try to use them, none of them actually link to anyplace you need to go and almost all of them are behind security because evidently a sewer door is more secure than most peoples' apartments.

    Mentioning reloads, the loading screens are long. You'd figure that in this day and age (even with an external drive) that I wouldn't spend more time staring at stupid load screens than playing the game. This isn't rocket science. Stop spending time figuring out how to make the load screens play like a repeating movie and instead focus on getting rid of them altogether.

    Mentioned the security systems earlier, let's focus on that. This is a trainwreck. Whoever wrote it doesn't understand percentages. Let's take example 1, a node that says there is a 15% of detection. Doing the math that means that once every 6-7 attempts should trigger detection. In 1 system this triggered for me 8 times in a row. Yes, my luck could be really bad but there are clearly some nodes that always trigger irrelevant of the percentage. Another case occurred with 30% chance. It triggered every time. I had to go around the node to avoid detection. Perhaps the worst situation occurred late in the game with a node that had 0%. Now think about that for a minute. 0% means no chance. It triggered 5 times in a row.

    The story itself is typical sci-fi, nothing to write home about. While you have choices in the missions they ultimately have no effect. They change nothing. You're still going to end up the same place as everyone else. I absolutely hate the mission structure in this game. If you don't do X during mission A then you cannot do Y during mission B even though A and B are completely unrelated. Who thought this was a good idea? If you want to get the full experience you pretty much have to play the game with a walkthrough at your side checking everything you do as you go along. Fun.

    All in all this is a skippable game in the series. You won't lose anything if you don't play it. Unless you're a combat person who wants everything there is to offer in the series then this is just a waste of time. For me the next game is make or break for the devs. If they focus on what is good about the series, stop making foolish design decisions and make it such that stealth runs aren't painstakingly boring and difficult then I may come back but for now this series is dead to me.    … Expand

    I'm a fan of the series Cyberpunk since the story played on RPG book. The latest installment is really bad and not worth your time and money. The team of programmer at EIDOS Montreal, will botch anything. The other tittle I'm thinking of is "Thief" another great series completely botched up.

    Shame on you EIDOS Montreal...!!!! They are to me like a really bad B-Series movie studio.    I'm a fan of the series Cyberpunk since the story played on RPG book.

    This game has been the biggest disappointment for me this generation. Deus Ex: Human Revolution was one of the best of the previous one and this must have been a worthy sequel. However, there's a lack of everything that made the last Deus Ex so great.
    The story does not respect the decision we took in Human Revolution and it's completely irrelevant for the Deus Ex universe.

However, there's a lack of everything that made the last Deus Ex so great.
    The story does not respect the decision we took in Human Revolution and it's completely irrelevant for the Deus Ex universe. So this sequel was not necessary. All It did was staining the the name of the Adam Jensen storyline.
    The game experience in general is really short. The main story last very little and there're not many side quest to do. In addition, there's not much to explore in the map neither. If only this short experience were at least enjoyable... But it is not.
    Adam's ability tree is almost exactly the same to what we saw in the previous game. Thare're just a few new abilities that you can't unlock them all at the same time. So, what supposed to be an improvement was a mistake.
    They haven't fixed the problem with the bosses this franchise had. What's more, It's even worse. The game has only one boss and the battle is dull. Fans could not imagine worse bosses to the ones we saw in Human Revolution; but we were wrong.
    To sum up: Deus Ex Mankind Revolution is a complete disappointment and not the sequel this saga deserved.    … Expand

    Es un juego bastante tosco y aburrido, no me entretuve en ningún momento al punto de no terminarlo.

    Eidos Montreal needed to build on the success of Human Revolution, instead of merely trying to replicate it wrapped in difficult politics. Instead of being the revolution we so hoped it would be, it’s simply left us divided.

    Narrowing its scope may make purists moan, but we've never played a more enjoyable Deus Ex. [Oct 2016, p.91]

    I'm left hoping that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s developers have an aggressive post-launch plan to continue the game’s story beyond its surprising endpoint. It’s a mottled cherry dropped on top of a game that otherwise makes for subtly major evolutions of action-RPG spaces, and for a world as interesting as Deus Ex’s, it would be a crime to leave it where it stands for another five years.
