Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Review | Almost A Classic

From someone living in Europe I simply love the cyberpunk prague setting. It's from my perspective the most realistic visualization of the cyberpunk I've seen so far. Feels like it could look the same here where I live in 20-30 years, when I look out of the window.

Very underrated game! Level design, atmosphere and music is unmatched. The story details you can uncover from the environment is also neat.

I’d play this over Cyberpunk anyday

Cyberpunk 2077 should've taken a pointer from Deus Ex: MD when it came to their open world design. Night City sure is one of the best looking open worlds in recent memory, but it's also pretty barren. They should have scaled back and given more things to do outside of story missions and jobs. Both games nail side quests though, and are easily the best part of both games. As well as having memorable characters, but in both games, you wish to see more of them.

“Anytime fly-girl” is one of the best lines in a video game man…

This game looks more of a cyberpunk 2077 than cyberpunk 2077.

I didn’t like HR. Mankind Divided’s level design is leagues above HR’s.

Who's here after seeing cyberpunk 2077? Lmfao, just bought this instead

Overall, the problem with MD was the rushed ending. HR had the established objective (finding the scientists) and uncover the conspiracy. But in doing so, every element from the major cutscenes to the most inconspicuous of e-mails culminates in an unexpected outcome. MD begins with an established objective, (stop the bombings) and ends with that same objective. Everything hinted in MD was shelved for the next game. MD will make a great transitional game to the sequel, but we won't see the fruits of that labor until several more years down the road if we are lucky.

Oh man, I was full lethal in the first playthrough after save Malik in HR.

I never played Mankind Divided but I feel like I would really miss the ember color filter Human Revolution had. From an artistic point of view, HR was just beautiful. Especially the futuristic interior design had me in awe. Combined with the insanely good, soothing electronic soundtrack and the warm colors it created a very satisfying, goosbump inducing whole and I dare to say that I cannot remember any other game making me feel so satisfied by the whole package as Human Revolution made me. Mankind Divided however does rather look like any generic game and from what I've seen in your vid lacks the charme HR had. I learned from the comment section that you haven't touched HR since 2011 and I can only highly recommend that you revisit it and take every thing in.

The graphics in this game are top class. While it is okay in terms of the technicality, the art direction is probably the best I've seen in a modern game. Every single level feels as if they took their concept art, and put it right into the game engine. No matter where you look you always find some pleasing or picturesque environment that's just begging to be screenshotted without the UI. You seem to be playing on low settings, and it really doesn't do the the visuals justice, unfortunately.

The soundtrack in this game is incredible. I'd say it's even too good for this game. Not that I have anything against the game, but that music man it gives me chills.

When I was a young kid my step dad at the time had the original deus ex, I must have been about 5 or 6 and I couldn't believe the freedom in the game, only just got back into this it's a game that just slipped my mind, I must say mankind divided is one of the best games I've played in years

The game improved almost everything from HR. To me, it felt short story wise

Loved the game. I loved the fact that the stealth actually worked and was viable now. None of the previous games allowed you to sneak past everything as efficiently as in Mankind Divided. I sneaked around everything and halfway through the game, it felt kinda odd because it felt like there was an absence of combat. Not really. It's just that the previous games made me used to "Sneak till it works, then shoot" so I never considered shooting. It's good that Mankind Divided actually gives you the option to both sneak and fight now.

I hope that the succes of Cyberpunk incentivate Square Enix to do another Deus EX. I love Jensen and their games

As a born and raised Praguester, I absolutely loved the setting even if the translations in the environment were sometimes pretty distracting for me and the amount of russian heard in the game instead of our language kinda pissed me off😄. Love your reviews man, keep it up!

One of my favorite games ever
