Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

released on Aug 23, 2016

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided directly follows the aftermath of the Aug Incident, a day when mechanically augmented citizens all over the world were stripped of control over their minds and bodies, resulting in the deaths of millions of innocents. The year is now 2029, and the golden era of augmentations is over. Mechanically augmented humans have been deemed outcasts and segregated from the rest of society. Crime and acts of terror serve as a thin veil to cover up an overarching conspiracy aimed at controlling the future of mankind…

Deus Ex Mankind Divided suffers from the same narrative problems as its predecessor, it's all about augmentations all the time. This is in stark contrast to the original game where it grounded all of its societal issues in actual real-world issues,which I think helps future proof a game cause I don't think I'll see human augmentations anytime soon. Really the only thing keeping me going is Adam Jensen’s story line, I’m invested and I want to see it end. Naturally the game abruptly ends at the halfway point on cliffhanger ending. What the fuck? Seriously, the first time I played the game I thought it was a joke. Just as plot points were finally beginning to unravel and you were really about to make sense of the story the game rolls credits.

I seriously hope for another instalment in the series. The gameplay was solid, the side missions were really good, and the visuals hold up surprisingly well, but seeing as this came out in 2016 I’m not holding my breath. I may not agree with the narrative choices made, but I atleast want to see the series end and not have it stuck in this weird limbo where we might not ever get another game.

I seriously cannot overstate how abrupt the ending is. It’s like you're driving down a road and you're gaining more and more speed only for a wall to pop out of nowhere leading you to crash into it

Eu tinha interesse na saga Deus Ex mas Jesus, esse jogo é só MUITO bugado e problemático. E diferente de outros jogos bugados que eu gosto, ele não tem nada realmente muito bom pra compensar os problemas técnicos.
O combate e o stealth são um tanto meia boca, com algumas mecânicas que não funcionam bem, e achei a exploração bem desinteressante.

E meu jogo veio por algum motivo com dublagem em ESPANHOL nas cutscenes, mas dublagem em pt-br nas cenas in-game e eu não tinha como mudar.

Despite this game crashing/bugging a lot, it is very very good. The level design and player freedom is some of the best I've seen, and it perfectly embodies the immersive sim fps genre. It's no Bioshock, but it's getting there. Even has a shitty final boss, just like Bioshock. I love this game to death and will certain return soon. The game does such a good job at making each choice hard and enticing, so I'm encouraged to replay it someday.

I unironically thought I triggered an early joke ending, I had to google and find out that was the real ending it literally cuts off halfway through what SHOULD be the mid-game.

mechanically really cool, played stealth the whole time but in the back of my mind i was always thinkin 'man it would be sick if i turned into a super cyborg and killed everybody'

Yet another Deus Ex with an amazing story, mechanics, and world-building.

I'm recommending this game as a whole because weirdly enough, it runs like shit on an RTX 3070ti (frame drops, mostly). I tried a few fixes that I found on the internet, but nothing really changed. Still, this didn't stop me from playing the game, I was still enjoying it due to its possibilities, exploration, story, sidequests, etc...

It still has some elements from the previous two games, the stealth, the augmentation upgrades, the possibility to grab and throw objects, the hacks, the turrets and robots, the access to codes and logins, the shady nightclub setting, the Illuminati stuff, the important choices and different endings. Since one is a prequel, it gives us an idea of how the augmentations originated from, and its ideologies.

Adam Jensen, our playable character, will do anything to find clues and the whereabouts of his wife and her project. Choose who you want to trust, what actions to take, who to save... until you reach your goals.
