Deus Ex is a game way ahead of its time, with visions about the future that sadly nowadays make sense (at least some of them), from human-made diseases to economic imbalance. Between conspiracies and organizations that thirst for power, JC has to fight for what he thinks is right. In this timeline, human flesh and machinery can be as one (like a cyborg), and minds can merge with AIs. Who knows, maybe in 2052 we might reach that point. Only time can tell, and maybe we aren't that far from it.

This game is truly amazing, and the immersion is insane. Weirdly, it had a few frame drops, but nothing that affected the gameplay that much. The upgrades, augmentations, skills, and items are vast, you can even smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol just because! You have side missions and choices to make, and you'll end up choosing your side.

The real question is, how far can we go to get freedom? Or is humanity meant to be controlled?
