Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

I spent most of this game sneaking around trying to play the entire thing without killing anyone. In the process I think I missed out on much of the customization mechanics that the series is known for. There are entire branches of the augmentation tech tree that I never even thought to turn on. I focused most of my skill points on hacking and seeing enemies through walls and that seemed to be enough to knock-out every enemy on the map. I don’t know. Even though I enjoyed it, it feels kind of broken.

There’s a another convoluted Deus Ex plot that tries to push the idea that augmented humans are the victims of racism. It doesn’t really make sense because every bad thing that happens in the plot is perpetrated by an augmented human. This tends to justify the whole, “we think augs are evil” ideology you are supposed to be fighting against.

The game feels a lot bigger than it actually is. The graphics are lovely and the city of Prague is filled with details. Unfortunately, there isn’t much to do outside of the main missions and maybe half-a-dozen side quests.
