However, this is not necessarily good as it feels really stale in its implementation and seems to be there just for the sake of it. The game stays true to the Deus Ex template of having alternate quests, conversation choices and alternate pathways. So what's the verdict on this one? On the plus side, the gameplay has certainly been improved if you consider the changes to the cover system, hacking, health and bioelectric energy systems. For those playing through the main story alone, I can't imagine the game length even extending 15 hours. It has exceeded the time I spent on Human Revolution only on account of the larger, free-roaming maps. I must add that this style of playing might only be for fans of the franchise since it really tends to get tedious after a while. This length is simply a reflection of my playing style which involves a stealth only approach and exploration of the complete map the first time I enter it, including hacking all doors/computers and finding alternate paths. Having said that, Steam puts the play time for my first playthrough at a little over 60 hours at the 'Give me Deus Ex' level with the 'Desperate Measures' DLC (not including the Breach Mode). I didn't imagine that it would be this long since the preview till I came up with the review, but such are the vagaries of life. It brought innovative, extensive choice-based freedom, an interesting story that played with expectations and a fun system that let you choose how you wanted to play and allowed for emergent game play. The original Deus Ex was, and still is, one of the best video games in existence. I highly recommend this game to people who like stealth games, futuristic/sci-fi action games, games with choice, and RPG elements. I'm not knocking any stars off because it doesn't interfere with the game at all.
I encourage everyone to NOT SPEND MONEY ON MICROTRANSACTIONS that SquareEnix has added. The graphics are better and the audio is well done (though the music is too loud to hear the voice-overs clearly without adjustment). So much like this in the game its actually amazing! I lost a merchant that will never come back. They ended up pulling guns and being shot down by the police. For example, when I broke into someone's apartment, I was caught and they tried to find me.
There are consequences to everything you do. New augments, more choices in how to finish missions, and you don't actually have to kill a single person to finish the game! I personally love stleath games and currently working on my non-violent play through first and think it's fantastic. Game Review- Mankind Divided feels like a continuation of the previous Deus Ex, Human Revolution in all the positive ways.
I got it for less than 1200 bucks during an Amazon sale. Not perfect, but I already feel like I have received my money's worth.
