Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

IF you like mass effect, You'll love this. One of my favorites. Great storyline, great gameplay and good soundtrack.
I enjoyed it. Worked right off the bat w/ 1660SUPER and i7-4790k, don't know what issues other people are having. Graphics are what you'd expect from a 2004 game. Old, clunky, nostalgic. Has that visual charm you won't find very often in today's gaming era. Combat is, very simple. Halfway through, you find the loadout that works for you, and you get multiple chances to change your playstyle. You don't get punished for playing how you want, guns blazing or pacifist doesn't affect the plot directly. Though that leads into the stealth. Stealth was too easy, even on realistic. I suppose this was expected for a game of it's time. You develop a game too much on stealth, though, and it'll turn into Splinter Cell, so I'll give it that. Footsteps, darkness, melee weapons, carry bodies, it's all there. I guess what I felt would have improved the stealth is maybe the option to peek (you get botspotted very quick sometimes), and have actual negative impacts in the story if espionage went south, but that ship has since sailed xD. Plot felt a bit lacking, and even more linear than the last game, but I still enjoyed it, and the characters found throughout the game (luv you, NG and Sparks). I did enjoy the mindpuzzle of figuring out which faction to side with in the end, while managing all the other factions equally. The background lore of the game was also pretty interesting, my favorite being the Coffee Wars. The endings were really something to behold, bringing about critical thinking in the philosophical sense, regarding humanity itself. Will have to replay Human Revolution to see how exactly it ties into that game. 8/10. Play the previous game first before playing this.

This game doesn't function on modern windows. Steam shouldn't be allowed to sell such products.
Underappreciated, if still an obvious step down from the previous ones. Lots of quality of life improvements and ambitious directions though.
[h3]Skippable entry in the Deus Ex series.[/h3] Even though the original Deus Ex is older than Invisible War, I gave up on this one fairly quickly. While the first game had pretty good writing, interesting world-building and an adequate gameplay despite its limitations, this entry has neither. I think you're better of reading through the plot, and just skip to the next entry, Human Revolution. [u]Recommended if:[/u] - You have high tolerance for old games with clunky mechanics - You want to experience every detail of the Deus Ex universe first-hand [u]Not recommended if:[/u] - Bad writing bothers you - You don't have time for mediocre gameplay
Might not be a bad game to play, if you don't mind waiting through a long waiting screen between each tiny map.
Залишившись під неабияким впливом від DE: Human Revolution - я захотів пройти усі частини серії. Навіть, старі. Тому, на розпродажі взяв я першу частину й Invisible War. IW - без проблем запустилась на сучасному залізі. Навіть, співвідношення екрану 4:3 не таке візуально погане. Гра виглядає достойно, як для 2004 року. Насправді - дуже круто виглядає. Почав проходити, поринати в історію й застряг... у інтерфейсі встановлення імплантів. Бо, в меню в мене не працює курсор. Навіть коліщатко крутить, а курсор - мертвий. Тому, доводиться відкласти план з проходження. Не хочу вихідний витрачати на пошук й встановлення патчів.
Al igual que Deus Ex (1), esta secuela requiere de ser parcheada por el propio jugador para que sea mínimamente jugable en equipos modernos. Quitando ese inconveniente técnico (que no es decir poco), también deja mucho que desear en lo que es el propio juego. El cual tuvo una “simplificación de mecánicas” pero para mal. Visualmente (y pese a "considerar su época") tampoco se salva por ahí, tiene una interfaz horrible, con modelados pobres, efectos lastimosos y una paleta de colores que en conjunto: son netamente molestos de ver.
ej, ten deus ex jest naprawdę dobry!
2 words. absolute trash...or as the rock would say "its the biggest piece of dogsh*t"
