Choices, Exploration, Story - It's All There

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016

This latest edition of Deus Ex has all the gameplay elements you might expect - choices, stealth, hacking, multiple paths, multiple solutions. Compared to Human Revolution, there are more areas to explore, more objects to interact with and generally a more detailed, believable world.

Microtransactions - At no point so far have I needed to purchase any items to play and enjoy the game. These are entirely optional.

Bugs - The bugs were bad but are being fixed hour by hour. Those who refunded their game minutes after release have missed out.

Framerate - A solid 60fps on an i5-4570 and GTX970 using the default settings (high).

Console port - For the PC, there are some awkward control design choices in some parts of the game, especially on the hacking screen. Rather than dragging the screen, you have to use arrow keys. It also doesn't recognize double-click to hack a node. It also needs a higher FOV setting.

Overall this is turning out to be another great Deus Ex game despite the early bugs and a less than perfect console port.

It's ok- preferred HR for soem things

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2017

Well, I must say I liked human revolution better- it was cleaner, easier to see, and although the modelling wasn't as good, I liked the looks of the older characters better- this new version I don't know what it is, but maybe the tones or contrasts are just too similar and make spotting things harder as they seem to blend in with their surroundings more- The contrast just seems a little too similar I guess between different objects- It's almost like a near monochromatic game with some added color splashed in- I can't really explain it well- it just felt a lot different than HR- The maps are pretty good in MD- It does lend to sneaking around more than the HR game did- The menus however not crazy about, nor the hacking setup- Some may like the change- I didn't- it's like they are trying to cram too much in- in my opinion- Gameplay was smooth- and on a SSD the load times are nice- an awful lot of dialogue though- with too many cut scenes where ya just gotta sit there and basically watch- figuring out your next moves was more involved which was good- all in all, a pretty decent game-

Great Gaming Franchise Ruined

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2016

Platform For Display: PC [Online Game Code]Edition: Day OneVerified Purchase

Man... where do I even begin with this nonsense?

Okay, right:

Between the overstuffed mechanics masquerading as emergent gameplay that makes a mockery of the original Deus Ex, the half-finished and half-baked main story, the Jensen Stories content that is obviously just main game content cut and repackaged as DLC, the unnecessary and bloated focus on side missions over the core experience, in addition to the the numerous and ongoing technical/graphical/gameplay glitches, AND not to mention microtransactions, Denuvo, requirement to "check-in" online regularly (for a single player game, seriously!?), intrusive surveillance masquearading as 'diagnostics,' and the inclusion of Breach instead of a full Deus Ex experience, it's now official: Square Enix has taken one of the greatest franchises in gaming history and absolutely butchered it. I would go so far as to say that its in worse condition than Adam Jensen at the end of Human Revolution's prologue -- but that would only be accurate if we assume that the series can be salavaged. Given what I've played and what both Eidos and SE representatives have said, I don't think that's possible.

Now, let me be clear that I have been playing the Deus Ex series since 2000. I have bought every game in the series, sometimes on multiple platforms. I have even written college essays and conference presentations on the series! I am, quite literally, an original fanboy. But this... this is completely unacceptable. This game is Deus Ex in name only -- the trappings are there, but the spirit has been sucked out of it (kind of like Adam Jensen, who skulks around the game barely seeming to care about much of anything).

So congratulations Square Enix. If I were wearing a hat, I would take it off to you. You have managed to both ruin one of the greatest intellectual properties in gaming history and alienate someone who should, for all intents and purposes, defend you at any cost so long as more Deus Ex is provided. But no. That's not the case here. In fact, I can tell you right now that I will never buy another product from you -- Deus Ex or otherwise. I would advise everyone else to do the same. So long as we keep accepting unfinished games and these kinds of business practices, then we have only ourselves to blame.

Need Steam to Download Game

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016

Platform For Display: PC [Online Game Code]Edition: Day OneVerified Purchase

I should've directly purchased this game from Steam, than get the game code, go to Steam, download with game code.

As for the game itself: meh. Not my kind of game. Took a chance because there aren't many story line RPGs being produced. Story is moderately interesting. But I'm not a fan of the shooter platform and was hoping the story would make me overlook that part. Nope. Never got past the beginning. Besides, the cut scenes aren't as well done as Dragon Age Inquisition in terms writing and art, so... I wasted some money on this game.

Enjoyable game

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2016

Platform For Display: PC [Online Game Code]Edition: Day OneVerified Purchase

Having played DX:HR, I didn't enjoy this sequel as much. I didn't like its restricted nature as in not having as many varied & different locales for Adam Jensen to travel to. In other words, it didn't feel as epic in scope and length.

I also didn't like the ending that much. The game felt like a long DLC add-on to DX:HR rather than a full standalone game. The ending was too abrupt and left behind too many questions.

I still give it a 4 b/c of its good graphics, gameplay mechanics, and just b/c I like the Deus Ex universe a lot.

Hopefully the next sequel will be more interesting & better fleshed-out.

This is a great deal for the code here vs steam - half price! What are you waiting for?? I fyou were a fan of Deus Ex Human Revolution, this game is a worthy successor despite the bad press it got. I got 200+ hours of playtime on 2 run-throughs plus the Prison Break DLC (don't get any of the other DLCs, they aren't worth the money).

I like some of the weapon/gadget changes

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2016

Platform For Display: PC [Online Game Code]Edition: Day OneVerified Purchase

I didn't find the primary story line particularly engaging. The segregation elements feel thin and and are thrown in your face repeatedly. It also felt very short. I like some of the weapon/gadget changes, but the story just didn't engage me. The suspense never really seemed to meet the story, and constantly fell flat for me.

That said, it is Deus Ex.

I would like to see the next one reach the level of openness as the original in 2000. Some of these maps and mission don't really give you as much choice as they seem.

The game crapped out after the first mission and steam can't seem to fix the update. So I can't play the game and I'm apparently out $60.00

good game - unhappy the app is charged and the things you get for preorder are expendables you can only use once - even if you reload or restart - didn't realize they have micro transactions in a $60 game - not impressed with that aspect of the game

It’s a a great game but it’s very unoptimized. I have a 1070 with an i7 processor and 12gb of ram and it ran choppy.
