    While I enjoyed the last game, Human Revolution, I felt that the developers didn't quite have the horsepower and technology available on Xbox 360 to really do what they wanted. You could tell they had to cut corners on certain aspects of the game.

You could tell they had to cut corners on certain aspects of the game.

    But Mankind Divided is a full realization of their vision for a new Deus Ex and it really shines overall. The gameplay and atmosphere are some of the best I've encountered this year. It all really fits into this world they built and nothing is out of place. They somehow managed to make the quest for information a main focus in the game and it's so fun to explore for laptops to hack and to find random bits of info on the enemy you just knocked the F out. You really feel like an augmented detective/assassin and just learning how to operate within the confines of the game world is a real pleasure.

    While you DON'T have to take the stealth route, some of the levels are extremely hard if you try to shoot it out with everyone. The enemy AI is hit and miss but they're smart with grenades and generally overwhelm you with numbers. Plus the stealth augmentations are just plain cool and turning on your stealth field to get the jump on someone and taking them down with the one hitter quitter NEVER EVER gets old.

    In conclusion this is the best shooter RPG game I've played since Fallout 4 took over my gaming life and if you enjoy that type of game Deus Ex provides a really fresh take on the genre. It's like stepping into the Matrix universe (the good one, not garbage Zion) and kicking ass and taking names while uncovering crazy conspiracy plot lines. Great Xbox One game.    … Expand

    Fun game mechanics, nice setting, but the story is full of logic leaps, the animations are dated and the characters are underwhelming. Feels like a big expansion pack to DE:HR rather than a sequel.

    Good story, excellent side missions, great level design, mechanics and controls. If you like RPG, Stealth and FPS, give this game a chance and you will not regret.

    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…
    I give Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

    Great game and worthy of Deus Ex title. In fact I think it is superior to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. This stands in several areas: Level design, gameplay, and lore/story.

    Level Design: Some of the best yet, and it really built on the original and what Human Revolution did, without recycling old tricks from the previous games.

    Level Design: Some of the best yet, and it really built on the original and what Human Revolution did, without recycling old tricks from the previous games. The new Augmentations (Augs) allow for great variety in traversal and how goals are met giving a WIDE array of options for the player in the environment. The single Hub city this time, Prague, is fantastic and feels more alive compared to Detroit or Heng-sha from Human revolution. There are more NPCs to interact with, more areas to explore, and you get access to other areas as the game unfolds and day progress into night. The major mission areas are rife with areas to explore, E-Books to discover, and loot to pick up, which unlike Human Revolution, was NOT a chore to do...it was fun to find new items and areas especially with the crafting system...

    Gameplay: The Augs make everything and are the RPG aspect of the game. There are fantastic abilities that can be upgraded and used, and the player options are staggering on par with the Original Deus Ex and other entries in its vein like Dishonored. My first playthrough was totally non lethal and was fun to achieve although a bit challenging. The gunplay is better compared to Human Revolution, and the stealth mechanics are EVEN better then the first one, showing pathing options, Awesome HUD displays, and a level of cyber immersion that is built upon in gameplay and rounded out with lore. Weapon upgrades and crafting is fun to use and keeps you hunting for Scrap Parts, but I did feel weapon special attachments was lacking. The new UI for weapon attachments ala Crysis was fun to use, but without a lot of attachements to me it fell short. Gone are the cooling systems, explosive round upgrades, bullet curving systems, or lead trajectory systems for scoped weapons...ALSO there is no Crossbow, Laser gun, or plasma gun this time!! That was disappointing.

    Lore/Story: It's Deus Ex, conspiracies and shadow organizations pulling strings still, you can see the build up to the original Deus Ex occurring. The presence of side missions and how MUCH more interactive they are is fantastic...they are more story based and less "go fetch" quests. The single HUB in some ways limits the overall scope of the Deus Ex story making it a more personal story for Jensen, but it satisfies even if the ending is a little more anti-climatic compared to the original and Human Revolution.

    Overall, Fantastic buy!!! I loved every minute of it! Excited for my next playthrough going lethal this time!    … Expand

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.

    Asique vamos a empezar con lo malo que le he visto a este Deus Ex.
    Básicamente tiene problemas técnicos, hay bajadas de fps, por suerte no en la acción, sino más bien en la ciudad cuando hay muchos personajes a la vez, luces, etc…
    He tenido un problema de pérdida de sonido muy fatal, pero estoy dudando de si es un problema en sí o no, debido a que todo fue a raíz de una decisión que tome en el juego asique no lo sé al 100% pero lo cierto es que perdí cierta parte del sonido, como al piratear por ejemplo no escuchaba la música y el sonido del pirateo y sobre todo cuando saltas y te enganchas en algún saliente tampoco escuchaba a Jensen hacer el esfuerzo.
    El doblaje al español está mal metido en las animaciones, a veces el personaje está hablando cuando ya ha terminado y cosas así.
    Las voces de los personajes varían en un mismo diálogo, hablas con él en diálogo de cinemática y después interactúas con él y habla diferente.
    Algunas animaciones en los diálogos hablaban sin mover los labios.
    El sistema de subtítulos estaba roto en algunos diálogos, me estaban diciendo algo y no era lo que salía en los subtítulos, en cambio salía una frase anterior del mismo diálogo.
    El mover cuerpos y cadáveres debe mejorar un poquito más, está un poco mejor que en su anterior entrega, pero puede mejorar.
    Ahora hablemos de lo que me ha gustado del juego.
    Tiene una buena historia, con variantes, lo cual hace que el título sea rejugable para ver cómo se desarrolla la historia si Jensen toma otra decisión diferente a la que hemos tomado anteriormente. Lo mejor es que las historias secundarias tienen que ver con la trama principal, por lo que no se convierten en mero relleno y sobre todo mola ver al final del juego como Picus interpreta tus decisiones en estas misiones.
    El juego tiene una duración buena, en mi opinión, yo he tardado unas 22 horas registrando bastantes sitios, ganando muchos créditos comprando y mejorando armamento, buscando coleccionables breach y triángulos, que no los he encontrado todos por cierto.
    Exploración e infiltración recompensada, da gusto explorar y valorar las diferentes opciones para pasarte una zona, ya que se te compensa con puntos de experiencia y aparte de que tiene un valor táctico para ti sobre todo si quieres hacer los logros de no matar a nadie y no hacer sonar ninguna alarma.
    Detalles como por ejemplo encontrarte un paso por un conducto de ventilación grande y no poder pasar porque las hélices están en movimiento, llegados a este punto tienes dos opciones, o desactivas las hélices encontrando el interruptor o puedes coger un objeto e introducirlo en las hélices para que se rompan, me ha encantado hacer esto último.
    Sistema de guardado, me encanta poder guardar en todo momento y así poder intentar hacer varias cosas para superar una misma fase.
    El sistema de mejoras sigue siendo muy bueno, tenemos muchas que nos sonarán ya y luego tenemos unas nuevas mejoras que son bastante impresionantes.
    Las animaciones de combate, personalmente me gusta mucho que al dejar fuera de juego a un enemigo cuerpo a cuerpo me salten este tipo de animaciones, aunque se pueden volver algo repetitivas y algunas no están bien terminadas pero para mí es un añadido.
    El sistema de pirateo, me ha encantado ver que han dejado esto también para esta nueva entrega de Deus Ex, yo personalmente me entretengo mucho con este minijuego de pirateo y cuando le pille el truco acabo gustándome meterme en todos los ordenadores y paneles del juego, aparte de que también tiene su recompensa en XP. Si no te gusta mucho piratear, siempre puedes crear o utilizar una Omniherramienta y así ahorrarnos el minijuego, eso sí, esta opción no da puntos de experiencia asique tú decides.
    Y por último me gustaría destacar el modo Breach que a mí me ha gustado mucho, es como un desafío, tienes que piratear cosas para abrirte paso y piratear nodos de datos, cuando llegas a un punto el sistema te detecta y tienes que ir al punto de extracción. Obviamente, tiene varias fases y puedes ir mejorando a tu personaje, este modo recibe extras de la historia principal, coleccionas varios módulos breach, los llevas a una tienda y te dan recompensas para este modo.
    Armas, no hay un número infinito de armas, pero para mi gusto disponemos de un buen arsenal de armas y granadas.
    Personalización y mejoras de las armas, me ha gustado muchísimo, ya que en cualquier momento del combate puedes cambiar fácilmente de munición para las armas e incluso encender y apagar el láser del arma, etc. Existen muchos tipos de accesorios para las armas, aunque no todos estos son compatibles con todas ellas, y también tienes que usar piezas de fabricación para mejorar ciertos aspectos de las armas, por lo que las buscaremos hasta debajo de las piedras.
    Poco más que añadir, es un grandísimo juego.    … Expand

    Buena historia aunque no llega a la altura del Human Revolution. He echado en falta los enfrentamientos con boss finales (como los hubo en el Deus ex: H.R). Aún así me ha mantenido enganchado. La nota que se le de creo que depende de la manera de jugar la historia, en modo sigilo (es como lo he pasado) o en modo shooter. Duración de la campaña 22 horas. ;-)

    Ainsi, les boss débiles qu'on devait se farcir dans des combats de carnaval ont disparu et tout est faisable en toute discrétion ou bien par le poids des mots et des arguments via le mini-jeu de persuasion repris intégralement ici. Notez cependant que DE MD reste un jeu très libre et qu'on a tout ce qui faut pour faire parler... la poudre... et massacrer tous les malfaisants.

    Le jeu propose évidemment tout un arsenal très sophistiqué pour rester furtif et même... ne tuer personne ! tout-à-fait admirable comme état d'esprit alors que les jeux vidéo ne servent que trop souvent le défouloir de l'ultra-violence avec plus ou moins de recul, d'humour... ou pas du tout.

    Et c'est là bien entendu que la construction des niveaux et leur architecture interviennent : les possibilités offertes -en conjonction avec l'équipement- sont incroyablement variées et gratifiantes. Les conversations offrent également leurs choix -de temps à autre- et tout en faisant progresser l'histoire, révèlent l'excellente qualité de l'écriture, jamais réductrice ou inutilement manichéenne. Une impression de réalisme se dégage de cet univers cyberpunk qui n'en finit pas de nous étonner.

    Quant au personnage Adam Jensen, il nous est revenu désabusé et un brin cynique mais toujours avec un idéal de justice. Il a indiscutablement la classe et l'élégance d'un vrai héros à la hauteur des enjeux compliqués d'une humanité divisée à la merci des comploteurs de l'ombre

    A noter que le DLC bonus "Mesures désespérées" consiste en un petit niveau qui peut être fait avant ou pendant le jeu principal et ne dévoile rien de l'intrigue contrairement à ce que raconte Eidos Montreal. Un homme averti en vaut deux.

    Veuillez noter aussi et il faut le souligner encore et encore, qu'on peut sauvegarder quand on veut (comme dans le précédent HR) une caractéristique devenue si rare de nos jours !

    Graphiquement, DE MD n'utilise plus l'Unreal mais son propre moteur le Dawn Engine, beau et détaillé auquel on ne reprochera que ses temps de chargement entre les zones et quelques visages étrangement vilains dans leur modélisation. La musique toujours électro-new age n'est pas une campagne désagréable et le doublage français intégral est irréprochable.

    Voilà donc le dernier Deux Ex, un jeu intelligent à l'univers foisonnant et réaliste, et désormais l'une des nouvelles références de l'infiltration sinon la meilleure.    … Expand

    Graphically, the game plays with his future set-up in the top league even though other comparable games do a little better.

    Adam Jensen's new adventure does not play like a Call of Duty, but the control is good after a little practice in the grip. In addition, the cover system fills up well, even if it is not always easy to hit the exact covers, because at least with the gamepad the change is somewhat funny.

    Prague is becoming more than believing and interesting. However, the 4 different districts bs affect some quarters somewhat monotonously.
    This can not be said of the quests: These are very interesting and have great approaches that are sometimes even better than the mainstory.

    On the whole, you can not go wrong with Deus Ex MD if you expect a great rolling game with stealh and fighting elements.
    Mid wile it costs at Amazon only about 15 $. That's it!

    Although I haven't yet played any of the other entries in the Deus Ex franchise, I picked this up due to it dropping to a ridiculously low price of just £5 from a lot of retailers. Without any high expectations many had from the success of Human Revolution, I found this to be a great game, although one bereft with fault. In this installment you play as Adam Jenson, an augmented human beingAlthough I haven't yet played any of the other entries in the Deus Ex franchise, I picked this up due to it dropping to a ridiculously low price of just £5 from a lot of retailers. Without any high expectations many had from the success of Human Revolution, I found this to be a great game, although one bereft with fault. In this installment you play as Adam Jenson, an augmented human being with various abilities granted by his cyborg body. In a fractured world, people are polarised on the issue of the augmented after an event in the previous game, the incident, drove the augmented to go on a killing spree against their will. Now highly segregated, the augmented live very difficult lives. Playing as Jensen, you attempt to unravel a plot against your kind.
    THE GOOD
    - The aspect I found most enjoyable in Mankind Divided was the vast amount of freedom you are allowed in most gameplay related areas. From choosing to kill or to stun, upgrading Jensen to fit your needs (stealth, invulnerability, hacking, agility, weaponry), and even through conversation, you can play the game how you choose to do so. Personally, I played the game non-lethally and without ever setting off any alarms, with Jensen as a silent and invisible ghost, although in my next playthrough I plan on going on a murderous rampage, upgrading Jensen into a juggernaut. Even some sections of the story can differ according to your actions, with some options only available to you depending on prior choices.
    - Side missions are great, being long enough to contain a decent narrative and offer a break from the regular mission structure.
    - The augments you choose from are varied and all have some use.
    - There are a good number of difficulty settings, with 'I Never Asked For This' being a real challenge that even the best players may struggle with. On the other end of the spectrum, there is a difficulty for people who just want to experience the story.
    - The world and atmosphere is very interesting and highly believable, drawing many parallels between the augmented and refugees in our own world. The story often uses the oppression of the augmented to tell a good narrative, and it can be somewhat complex at times. This makes it all the more painful that the ending is abrupt and lacking in closure.
    - Conversations can be interesting and result in different outcomes depending on what you say.
    - The pre-rendered cutscenes, although quite sparse, are beautiful.
    - Cool designs of characters and architecture.
    THE BAD
    - Facial animations are terrible. Character's mouths rarely line up with what they are saying, and with the rest of the game looking pretty good, this stands out and is very noticeable.
    - I noticed screen tearing and large fps drops, especially while in Prague.
    - As previously mentioned, the ending is terrible and doesn't answer the questions the story has posed throughout the rest of the game.
    - Microtransactions.
    THE BORING
    - Some characters don't get enough time in the spotlight, and thus are very one dimensional. Alex Reid and Miller never develop much of a personality, while others, such as Talos Rucker, are very well written. I'm not sure why there is this inconsistency.
    - Voice acting isn't consistent either, and although some were fine, including your protagonist's, others, such as Miller's, were lifeless.
    - The tacked on multiplayer mode is uninteresting.
    CONCLUSION
    - Mankind Divided succeeds in allowing the player vast amounts of freedom, resulting in further playthroughs being appealing. The futuristic setting is fun to be a part of, with side missions focusing on a smaller scale and letting you get to know everyday citizens better. It's a shame then, that some major characters are never fully developed and that the narrative doesn't properly wrap itself up. Despite the problems with the ending and some technical problems, the latest Deus Ex is still great fun, and a must buy, especially now that it can be bought for so cheap. Even though I know it has it's faults, I still think Mankind Divided deserves a 9 just because of how much fun I had, and how immersed I was in the world. The problems I had with it are minor in comparison to how much I enjoyed, and even though some parts were underdeveloped, most of the story and a good number of characters were interesting.    … Expand

My only critique is that the expanded augments were unnecessary. I don't think I used a single one, but I only played through it once and the new augments could be used if you are trying to get through the game a certain way (i.e. guns blazing, stealth, no kills, etc.) All in all, I do recommend this game, don't listen to the negative hype and I hope that they decide to continue the saga.… Expand

I will sayHello internets like Deus Ex Mankind Divided B-rod here back in the saddle again to review a game. Deus Ex series is for a special kind of gamer, one that is into heavy science fiction, lots of complicated dialog, and one that loves crawling through man-sized vents. I am new to this series the games always eluded my radar one way or another I always managed to just miss them. I will say being missed out on Human Revolution so much of the background to this game made little to no sense. Now they explain it in this 15 minute Spark Notes version of what happened. Yet… somehow with Adam Jensen’s monotone voice describing everything that happened my eyes kind of glossed over and I was day dreaming. Honestly if someone can describe what happened in the first game I’d love it. I digress. Deus Ex Mankind Divided takes place in a world where people are augmented and the normal humans hate the **** out of them. I think is a kick ass concept that hits a bit close to home with all that is happening. You are Adam Jensen an augmented badass who sounds like he smoked 150 packs of cigarettes because someone dared him to. This new terrorist group of augmented people are out there, and they happen to do the terrorist thing of blowing **** up. It is up to Adam Jensen to solve the mystery any way he can. Which leads into some interesting twist and turns, and ends kind of abruptly. I was having fun then boom game winning trophy winner is me.
    The game allows you to play three different ways, but only one ever worked for me. You can play completely stealthy saving after every room and meticulously looking for any short-cut you can take. Or you can play balls to the wall killing spree, and pray that the guy you killed has enough bullets so you aren’t completely **** by the next room. Last, which is what I played you can do a mix of both being all sneaky like until you are seen then balls to the wall. The game never punishes you for killing people which is super great because killing is just amazing in video games. I took out almost an entire police station to steal some evidence, and I’m still the hero. Remember kids killing cops is okay only if you really need to steal from them. The leveling up is complicated at first, but makes way more sense as time goes on. The final thing I can say is **** this final boss. They are such a pain in the ass if you are like me and suck ass at stealth. It took me multiple tries to take out the **** and honestly I’m fairly sure I took him out by accident. Just to warn you.
    Overall the game looks great and plays like very few shooters on the market. I will say if you are looking for something different then the Call of Duty formula this is your game. It is a dense fiction heavy story telling RPG that doesn’t disappoint that lets you play as you want. I enjoyed the hell out of this game with no prior engagement to the previous games so new comers are welcome. Maybe wiki some of the backstory details. I give this a 4.5/5.    … Expand

The story continues in one of the endings of Deus Ex: Human Revolution (the conflict ending). More than "not everything is what it seems." All situations can be solved in two ways stealthily or Rambo type. The fully customizable skill tree is back and by plot themes they reboot Adam so that we discover that he has more powerful and lethal experimental upgrades installed (example “The Titan Armor” makes the “Rhino Skin” from the last game look like a foil) . The AI ​​is very advanced and has access to the same upgrades as you so you have to get creative with your powers. "Decal mode" returns but you already have volume and the view of the enemies is sharpened because if your pompadour sticks out or your weapon the enemy will become suspicious and will look for you until they find you. The Season Pass includes "The Stories of Adam" that give more quests and context to what happens before the story. Bosses can be avoided. It's on the Game Pass. This game will surprise you in a good way and will blow your mind when you play it and pass it. The achievement "the most cunning fox" is back, which forces you not to be detected, and go unnoticed in a world where the most foolish sees through walls

    The Bad: The game had poor sales and the Deus Ex series will be on the freezer for a loooong time. The APP that scanned the codes that appear in the game is no longer available so collectibles, some things, gifts or Praxis can no longer be collected. The contents of the Season Pass are stories disjointed with the main plot that feel “extra”. The energy meter (all of your abilities consume energy, so you'll have to be filling that up if you want to use your abilities). If you are one of those who complain about the faces of Mass Effect Andromeda and make memes or jokes, this game is going the same way (less for the main characters, those if they are well modeled). The new improvements are there but there is a very large cost to use and they consume a lot of energy.

    The Meh !: you know how this goes, when many hear stealth or infiltration the first thing they think of is the “most solid of snakes” games. It is not a typical gallery or shooting game, it is an RPG with hundreds of conversations    … Expand

    I cant believe how devaluated this game is right now, some times is less than 5 dlls. Its a really good game, with great game mechanics. I picked up day one, full price, and really like it. Then played the DLC and like it too.
    Its not as good as the first Deus Ex but no game is. Mankind Divided is good for what it is, a good stealth cyberpunk game.

    Extremely detailed immersing world and a well constructed plot. It is recommended to have played Deus Ex Human Revolution beforehand, although there is a video summary of the prequel at the beginning of Mankind Divided. It is awesome to walk through the streets of Praga both during day and at night. Characters are credible and well-defined. It is great to be able to save anywhere.

A game that has touched me just like Mass Effect. Multiple connections can be drawn between the game's plot and our current situation. Something remarkable is the fact that there is always an alternative way to not use violence in order to accomplish your goals.… 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

    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.

    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.
