Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Great game with a variety of ways to play.

Very short game and has lots of optimization issues but some new augments were very nice and the combat system was fun as well. Sadly most augments are straight up bad or not thought through and dont have really any use. Plus some weapons dont fit in. Machine gun and revolver felt really lackluster and the extra firearms like devastator shotgun, battle lance or the emp combat rifle were extremely useless. They are collectibles maybe... but they are purely outperformed by the normal weapons with just a slight upgrade. Also i almost get no ammo for the special weapons and dont even have silencers or anything. Casie augment conversations were also a bit unfun to navigate as you literally focus more on the points popping of and remembering the count instead of actually listening to the characters talk (if you want the best option for dialoges). Sniperrifle also was completely useless in my opinion as the combat rifle had way more to offer with a scope (More Ammo, more dmg, more fire rate, better aim, silenced reload etc etc.) sniperrifle was hard to play cause u cant silence it and when u can only shot someone once before everyone else gets alerted it makes it harder to play. The tranq rifle on the other had was amazing. Headshots made people knock out faster and was very well thought through and was really amazing to play. Also the stun gun interaction with disabling enemy Juggernauts Augments to be able to finish them off was a very nice mechanic and a nice touch. Story wise not too good of a game tho... very big holes and gaps and stuff that isnt explained very well. Also... there is only 1 Boss fight in the end which is mega anticlimactic instead of more bosses like in the first game. Still love the hacking and analyzing the items with augmented vision and finding paths and alternative routes. Very different playstyles are accomodated and u can play a multitude of builds i think . (at least 3 i guess). Fun game overall. 3. Playthrough already 7/10 i would say. Also Adam Jensen has drip af.
