Deus Ex Mankind Divided - XBOX One [Digital]

I'm a fan of the Deus Ex franchise, but hated human revolution for their lopsided boss battles. The areas felt small and too linear. They improved that with mankind divided though. The areas are much larger now, lots of customization available. Graphically, it looks great and the gameplay mechanics are solid. Story is very interesting and really makes you think about the whole pro/anti aug world of deus ex. Lots of side missions to take a part of that feel different (some games have very pointless and repetitive side missions that don't offer anything to the overall game experience). There is pretty high replay value, because there's certain decisions that effect the games ending and it takes more than one play through to unlock all the upgrades (which are pretty cool). If you've never played a deus ex game before, no worries, they fill you in with a 10 min video (you don't have to watch it, but I do recommend it). Weapon upgrading is pretty good too, but you have limited inventory space, so choose wisely. Overall, if you like games like mass effect or fallout, you'll like this.

After about 12 hours of gameplay, I can say that Deus Ex is a great mix of strategy, action, level-up style customization and story. There are times where the game gets a little too talky, but there are more than enough opportunities for gun battles and carnage.

This was my first Deus Ex game and I was surprisingly impressed. They did a great job with immersing you into the world. Story is on the predictable side but the gameplay and choices they give you are fun and exciting. Highly recommend and you cant beat the under $15 price, terrific value.

Games like this now a days aren't worth the $60 they charge this game does a fairly good job of keeping you entertained. For example there are multiple endings that are based on what you do or don't do. I played the entire game twice through and had 2 different results. So of those side missions are only activated by roaming around talking or doing particular things. The news reporter at the end of the game will makes remakes based on those choices. Cons are few. One is once you unlock enough parts of your tech the game doesn't challenge you. Even on the harder difficulty the catch is you have to be mindful about which ones you choose. But by 70% of the way through the game if you also completed enough side mission you will almost be unstoppable. My first time completed i was 90% through all the upgrades I could purchase. The game is only really hard if you make it hard if your a stealthy and patience you could beat the game on any difficulty without being killed There are minor unpolished things like when you drag enemies into a corner or throw them so they can't be detected they have no smoothness to it they don't drag or drop like a body should things like that but over all its good being that you choose the outcome and how people talk to you is based on what you already know or you could go into a conversation and not get any clues because you didn't do x,y or z makes it fun

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a fun game that expands on the franchise. If you've played the original Deus Ex or just Human Revolution you'll enjoy the direction Mankind Divided goes. You can get lost in the gorgeous world of Prague. Game play is fun and the story is enjoyable but its not always easy to pick between the option of stealth or going loud as I put it. I recommend this to anyone that's looking for a fun game with option to pick between different game playing styles.
