Product Features
You play Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT specialist who's been handpicked to oversee the defensive needs of one of America's most experimental biotechnology firms. Your job is to safeguard company secrets, but when a black ops team breaks in and kills the very scientists you were hired to protect, everything you thought you knew about your job changes.
Badly wounded during the attack, you have no choice but to become mechanically augmented and you soon find yourself chasing down leads all over the world, never knowing who you can trust. At a time when scientific advancements are turning athletes, soldiers and spies into super enhanced beings, someone is working very hard to ensure mankind's evolution follows a particular path.
You need to discover where that path lies. Because when all is said and done, the decisions you take, and the choices you make, will be the only things that can change it.
Customer Reviews My gaming setup: AMD X6 1090xt, Windows 7 Ultimate x64, GTX 480, 256GB RAID 0
Crucial M4 for the game partition, 16 GB 1866MHz DDR3.
Here's a very brief background of how much time I spent playing the original
Deus:Ex. I beat the game 5 times including once where I just killed 3 targets
total and used stealth / darts. I loved the original and it's the only game
for the PC that I've bought twice (the CD got damaged during a move). With
that in context, I groaned when I heard about this game. DE: Invisible War
was such a failure that I didn't really expect anything from this game.
Then I read the reviews on metacritic and as I don't trust most reviews anymore,
I wasn't sure what to think. I figured I'd bite the bullet and play the game and
find out. I started playing the game wanting to prove myself right and wanting to
hate the game. That wasn't hard in the first 10-15minutes. The combat system was
not what I expected (this is during the first action sequence) - the AI shot straight
and it didn't take a lot of bullets in "normal" mode to bring you down. My ego
satisfied about how I was right about this game being "meh", I figured I'd play for
a little longer and then the spirit of the original Deus Ex showed itself.
I kept playing for 5 hours and was completely hooked. I was wrong about my
assumption but I didn't care. I didn't even care for the main story-line at one point.
Oh "steal stuff from morgue?" I'll get to it. I love exploration and side-quests and
there's plenty of that. There's innovating hacking that rewards you for taking risks.
The game environment is pretty well done although not as good as the original DE. The
interface for weapons/quests/map is a well-designed one. You make choices and they have
consequences. They really do. There are also lots of references to the earlier game
and to general humor (Nigerian email scam for e.g.,).
