Such a unique game. Its more of an RPG than a FPS, with alot of story. Choices matter, but the best thing about the game is the universe

Great game, not particularly long and a bit rough around the edges but still fun nonetheless. It has really impressive and immersive graphics for a 2016 title, although there are some issues with performance (I highly recommend disabling MSAA in game's settings). It is a RPG/FPS with heavy focus on stealth, cyberware and hacking, majority of the game's plot revolves around small but highly detailed open-world hub divided in 2 sections in which you have decent amount of freedom to approach missions/quests how you see fit. There are different outcomes for most missions depending on player gameplay and dialogue choices. Story-wise it is direct continuation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and I would recommend playing it first for best experience.

It was supposed to be a second game in the trilogy but its sequel is nowhere to be seen, likely abandoned by the publisher. Still, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid FPS/RPG with cyberpunk elements, especially if you can get the game during -75% sale which seem to happen few times per year.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

I have no doubt that Mankind Divided is a true masterpiece of the tenth art. At first, I thought it was just another poorly made generic FPS. I tried playing it four times, and only on the fourth attempt did I finally understand that it was, in fact, an RPG. That changed everything. This is how the game should be approached: not as a shooter, but as a deep role-playing experience.

What fascinated me the most was the developers’ decision to create a small and dense world instead of a vast, generic, and empty open world, which is unfortunately typical in modern games. The environment in Mankind Divided is incredibly detailed, full of notes and rich lore.

I love literature, and being able to read all those in-game notes made me genuinely happy. It brought the world to life. You start to feel like that universe truly exists, with its own history and depth.

I just finished the main campaign and I’m honestly disappointed because the game ends abruptly, and to this day there is no continuation. That’s a shame, because this is a work of art. A game with this level of immersion should never be thrown away or forgotten.
