It's not about Raytracing, its about this. THIS PARTICULAR VIBE.
While a game like Cyberpunk 2077 creates its world to surprise and bombard you with things you have not seen before, Deus Ex's toolbox is much more limited. Its main colours are black and gold, it. It's dark, dingy, grimy and seedy. You live between these quiet moments of looking at a puddle of water or observing the alley from 2nd Floor. Its a tech noir.
But when it comes to the gameplay and level design, Deus Ex is so much better. The impact of the augments are a lot more visible and substantial, the gameplay is much more fluid and Adam has been contextualized in this dystopia perfectly.
Its not perfect. Its funny how the NPCs know about all your activities. The construction of the buildings, the fashion of the people is a little more fantastical and less grounded. This game has a world wide news caster wearing Elizabethian collar, and a black lingerie top with lace stockings with high heeled boots. xD
We need a new Deus Ex game in this gen with the gameplay and level design of the newer games and the world building of the first one. Maybe with a more interactable and bigger world while still maintaining the hub structure.
