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.
