A beautiful, enthralling game with a loose story and a boring hub area.
Being a newer Deus Ex fan since the 2011 game, this game didn't disappoint. I thought the engine was beautiful, if punishing, and the gameplay was smoother than ever. I felt like I could really role play the Blade Runner-esque cop I've always wanted, even if that means travelling through way too many vents and suffering through extreme load times between the areas.
The story can be interesting and a more focused than the first game, but the payoff was lacking. It sets up the story on some cliffhanger emotional moments, but knowing that the company is "taking a break" from the next game makes it slightly disappointing. That said, the individual stories and side quests were great, the freedom of exploration (if you max out hacking, mind) was exhilarating, and the guy that voices Adam Jensen couldn't be more perfect. Another great game is you're wanting more from one of the best cyberpunk franchises on PC.
