If my relationship can survive this game, it can survive everything.

Expensive tech demo released after Early Access in a barely functioning state

Age of War but far more complicated and long

Play this game for the story, characters and graphics (10/10).
The rest (e.g. combat, parkour) is pretty bad and inconsistent (<4/10).
DLC story is about 3h (?) of gameplay, a nice addition to the main story but nothing special (7/10).

An old PC port. You can tell by about every frame it skips for no reason.

The story's not very good or engaging, the graphics aren't very good (but hey it's an old game so that's alright), the controls are clunky and counter-intuitive. The auto saves are a hit and miss, they'll either keep triggering every time you pass a certain spot or they're going to be 3 rooms apart with a mined section that'll detonate from the other side of the hall.

I'm sure this might be a good game for those who are already into the Deux Ex franchise, but as a first time player of Deus Ex games I can't in good conscience recommend this game. I'll wrap up the story, finish the game and let it gather dust in the bin afterwards.

I am not going to finish the game. Having gotten to The Missing Link, this game keeps going for much longer than it can keep playing it interesting.

Played this last in 2018. Stopped after the first portion of the map as the second portion was a complete recycle of the first.

Neutral.

It's one of those games you have to bully your friends into downloading with the only viable argument being "it's free". Your friends would much rather play a developed game of Squad, Arma or Insurgency (Sandstorm).

The non-existent price tag for this game is a must since any content is created by modders, and without them this game is nothing at all.

I've seen enough after 20 minutes (since that's the amount of content there is at the moment).

Poor Mantis Community :(
