It was fine i guess
Barely remembered finishing this game

Better than its predecessor in nearly every way. Graphics, gameplay, story etc. Human revolution has a more compelling feel of dystopia but that’s about it. The only shame is that I had heaps of crashes and buggy achievements/dialogue which lessened the experience.

Fantastic game, but literally unfinished, thanks to Square Enix.

An amazing immersive sim, unfortunately Square Enix ruined any chance this game had at leaving a lasting impact, and then killed the series.

I don't have a term of comparison, this being my first Deus Ex, but I enjoyed this game, especially its gameplay.
I like that you can go about missions several different ways, from guns blazing to full stealth. Personally, I prioritized stealth (that was until being spotted and ultimately resorting to shooting everyone) and found it to be very well done. There's quite a variety of augmentations to choose from, so you can adapt Adam to fit your gameplay style easily.
Prague is fun to explore with plenty of side missions to do besides the sadly unfinished main story. The DLC are solid too.
It's a real shame Square Enix cut Mankind Divided short under the pretense that the story would continue soon in a future game (clearly to milk the consumers too). 7 years later and we're still waiting.


THIS SHIT IS EVERYTHING HUMAN REVOLUTION IS BUT WORSE! STORY IS INCOMPLETE, CHARACTERS ARE BORING (I HATE THE DIRECTOR WHO THOUGHT TAKING MALIK OUT OF THE GAME WAS A GOOD IDEA) GAMEPLAY IS THE CARBON COPY OF HUMAN REVOLUTION BUT FEELS CLUNCKY AND EVEN WORSE THIS SHIT IS NOT EVEN OPTIMIZED PROPERLY. BUT ABOVE ALL THEY FUCKING ADDED AN UNSKIPABLE CREDITS INTO IT. I REALLY HATE THIS GAME I WISH I USED MY PRECIOUS 50HRS I WASTED ON THIS GAME TO BE PRODUCTIVE IN LIFE LIKE SLEEPING AND WATCHING ICEBERG VIDEOS.

I should play this one again honestly

I like it better than DXHR but the fact that the game is so short in comparison just ruined it's chance for a higher score from me
8-8.5/10
We need DXMD part 2.

The main hub city in the game maybe the best mechanically put together explorable area in all of videogames, or at least the ones I know of

Como posso dizer? Cada estrela subtraída é um GRANDE pecado. O mundo aberto e gameplay ideais para a franquia estão aí, só que a história segue e termina de um jeito que parece um grande "episódio 1" não finalizado e a trama quanto a questão dos humanos modificados não lida tão bem com as analogias a racismo e religião quanto no jogo anterior. Sinto que precisava de mais tempo de desenvolvimento e algumas revisadas de roteiro para se igualar ao anterior. Mas assim, as side quests são ótimas e o jogo no geral é muito divertido. Recomendaria mesmo sabendo que é possível que a franquia não retorne pra terminar a história.

This game pains me in so many ways. I love the Deus Ex series. I first experienced the series with Invisible War on the original X-Box, and while I did enjoy it and found it intriguing, the game glitched out on me at a specific spot and I couldn't complete the game. Later on I stumbled upon Human Revolution which quickly became my favorite game of all time as I played it at a very specific time in my life and simply fell in love with everything it had to offer. When Mankind Divided released and I discovered it took place in the city I grew up in, I ran out to obtain a copy.

This game does so much so well, it hurts. It hurts because it was meant to be so much more. Due to meddling from Square Enix wanting to nickel and dime this game as much as possible, we were deprived of a much bigger and richer experience and that is something that is so upsetting to me.
If you strictly follow the main story, you'll find the game to be short and ridiculously abrupt. If you take your time, explore, try to find and complete side quests and soak in the atmosphere, the game really shines and will double your play time. Eidos really did a great job at getting closer to bringing that Deus Ex experience found in the original with all of your options in customizing your abilities, exploring and finding alternate paths. The in-game graphics are quite impressive, especially considering when it released (the cut-scenes still look a bit...off).
Voice acting is top notch, but I must say the use of the Czech language and their accents are laughable and at times just plain silly, but have their own charm. The stealth is nicely handled but combat is still bombastic and badass as can be.

My main gripe for Mankind Divided mostly stems from Square Enix's handling of game and the totally unnecessary Breach mode which should be avoided. This game could have been so much more, but I am still happy it exists. I can only hope that Eidos will continue with this series and complete Adam Jensen's story.

Zerado pela quinta vez. Não é melhor que Human Revolution (esse no caso, um dos meus jogos favoritos) mas ainda sim é um excelente immersive sim. Entrega muita liberdade ao jogador, tem uma gameplay muito bem construída com adoráveis mecânicas stealth, discute temáticas importantes e mostra muito bem duas realidades diferentes do seu universo dividido, a fase do Golem tem um dos melhores level design da oitava geração. A incrível trilha sonora consegue captar muito bem o cenário e atmosfera cyberpunk. Uma pena a historia ser curta, quando a historia começa a engatar de verdade e te deixar extremamente interessado no que está acontecendo o jogo termina, provavelmente deixaram a melhor parte pra um terceiro jogo que corre o risco de não ter...

I think people overstate how "unfinished" the game is. Don't get me wrong, you get the feeling that there are some loose threads and that a portion of the game got cut in the making but what's there is 100% polished and well worth playing though. Prague is beautiful, climatic, dense, with some side stories to uncover and many apartments to break into. The story is nothing to write home about, but it's fun to go through the city uncovering conspiracies, exploring abandoned buildings, knocking out cops, messing around with the environmental interactibles, and finding your way around locked doors and security devices.

That being said there's less variety in locations than in Human Revolution, while the gameplay is dumbed down comparatively at the same time. Yes, you have more augs and many more weapons to choose from, but HR's more open approach to quest and level designs took 2 steps back, which is a trend since HR already took 3 steps back in that regard from the original Deus Ex.

Despite this, this is clearly a game made by people with passion who deserved better, but sadly they got Square Enix'd.

please give me the sequel. the game is only 9 because of the unfinished plot

This game is really good. I really enjoyed the design of the architecture of the world as well as the style of all the menus. The combat was pretty fun and I also liked the story even though it was unfortunately obvious it was the middle part of a trilogy that will never be finished.

Has about three levels, each of which amounts to a hallway that can be snuck or fought down. The bulk of the game's spent in a hub that's impressively elaborate and interconnected but absent any personality or substance. Shocking amount of dialogue for a game without a single idea.

Plusy: znakomita muzyka, ładny projekt poziomów, intrygująca fabuła
Minusy: marna mimika twarzy, urwane zakończenie, niemrawy początek gry, beznadziejna optymalizacja

Phenomenal Deus Ex game with unmatched level design, fell victim to outrage journalism and is now known as "unfinished" despite being a complete experience.

This was one of the first games I got on Playstation 4 and I enjoyed every second playing Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

My czech friend enjoyed the voice actors' pronunciations very much 😁👍

Sequel when 👹

It breaks my heart to read what happened to Eidos Montreal after this game didn't live up to Square Enix's ABSURD sales expectations. The game is great, it's an immersive sim with everything you could ask for. I stealthed my way through most of the game and enjoyed the hell out of it.

This game made me understand that I do NOT like first person games at all.


disappointing, deus ex was about going to and exploring new areas, and all i did was just roam around prague and do side missions. human revolution was better in every right but this was rushed, and also just one boss fight in this game just sucks

Mankind Divided is a better shooter than it is a stealth game. The issue is that the devs are stuck on using stealth mechanics from the 2000's. They also refuse to implement modern mechanics stating they want the game to feel like DE did in the 2000's. Unfortunately this creates a mediocre stealth experience when compared to other modern stealth games. Everything else about the game is solid, though nothing amazing. The new cover system is also great. If you like shooters it's alright.

Waaaaaaaaaaaay better than HR. Still not close to the original but hey, at least i actually had fun playing this one.

I didn't give a fuck about the characters or plot in HR, and that didn't change here. In fact the plot felt even dumber than before. Me not caring about the plot is probably the reason why the game didn't feel unfinished to me, i focused on the content and the game has a lot of it and it's very polished.

Prague was an amazing, i spent MANY hours exploring it and doing every side quest i could find before i even started the main missions. I still miss the area variety from the og but i don't dislike the quality over quantity approach they used, i had more fun fucking around in the Bank than i did in the entirety of HR.

As for augs and builds, it's pretty much the same complaints i had with HR, i just didn't care that much because i was having fun with the main game.

Also you get exp for using passwords now, thank god. Still dislike the massives amounts of hacking and the game rewarding you with exp for every little thing you do, the og did that perfectly.

I still recommend playing the original instead, but if you want more Deus Ex this is the second best game.
