I wish vents didn't exist before 2012, so the devs would've had to get creative with, you know, level design

I gave HR a 4/5, but, thanks to deus ex 1, I have little to no tolerance towards this game now. It's a good thing it exists, yes, but it's sooooo dumbed down in many ways compared to deus ex 1 that idk how is this even considered a deus ex game (no, I haven't played invisible war). That's the question I was asking to myself with each hour spent in Dues Ex 1, with each vent encountered that didn't lead me directly to the destination/let me easily skip through an obstacle (to be fair, there were like 3 of these types of vents, in the whole game. Deus ex human revolution literally CONSISTS of them, especially in the first two missions), with each door lockpicked, with each PC hacked without a fuckgnsgf hacking minigame, with each door blown up (you can do this in HR, but you won't know the health of a door, because fuck you), with each plant thrown at Paul, with each melee kill not being a cutscene I have to sit through every single time.
Mankind divided is much better, deus ex 1 is infinitely better
