Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

It is truly a shame that this game is the second in a trilogy which at this point will almost certainly never be finished. The biggest complaint I have about the game is that it abruptly ends on such a high note that it almost feels like a joke. It wasn't until after I went and searched up more information about the game's development timeline and the studio's plans for a sequel which was cancelled, that I realized what actually happened. If you haven't played Human Revolution, play that first and then play this game. They are both tremendous. There are some aspects of the first game that I prefer over this one, however, I'd say that this one is an overall improvement in the majority of areas. The engine is a little buggy, mostly towards the end of the game, but there were also some bugs along the way as well. I had to turn my graphics down during certain sequences to avoid game crashes. There is also a cutscene at the end of one of the levels about halfway through the game which completely bricked my game 100% of the time, that required me to do extensive research in order to figure out that the only way through was to disable most of my processor cores mid-cutscene and then re-enable them after the cutscene ended, to avoid a game crash. On top of this, the game obviously doesn't run as well as the first one, but that's a tradeoff for having much better graphics. This game is a flawed masterpiece which I will never forget playing for as long as I shall live. It stood tall as the last bastion in a revolutionary genre of games, which were betrayed in the last decade by the AAA games industry, who unfortunately favor quick, guaranteed cash over quality game design and respect for their players' intelligence. Indie developers who are out there working on games like Cruelty Squad, Peripeteia and Parkside: Decayed Soul Manipulation will carry the torch forward for immersive sim games, keeping the spirit of this genre alive for years to come, but unfortunately, can not come close to what games like Deus Ex, Dishonored, or Prey really accomplished. I hope to be one amongst them one day. 10/10.

+ В порівнянні з першою частиною гра стала краще + Стелс механіка стала набагато краще + Гра стала гарніше + Цікавий сюжет + Нові механіки прокачки + Варіативність проходження -2Х Обрізаний сюжет але хоча б доведений більш менш на нормальну кінцівку - Гра занадто коротка у порівнянні з першою частиною

I never asked for this...

В целом если вам понравился human revolution, то вы не заскучаете и в этой части, но в сюжетном плане на мой взгляд mankind divided на голову хуже предшественницы, о чем вообще говорить если некоторые побочные задания показались мне куда интереснее основных. Кроме того разочаровал финал игры. Я понимаю, что планировалось продолжение (которое отменили), и поэтому игра заканчивается на клифхенгере, но хотелось бы все же более конкретно увидеть результат своих действий и выборов (Опять же как в human revolution). Зато в геймплейном плане все здорово, это все тот же deus ex с большой вариативностью прохождения, но с пачкой новых аугментаций и небольшим количеством приятных изменений (Например постоянный бег). В общем один раз пройти игру и получить удовольствие можно, но перепроходить нет никакого желания. Буду ли я играть в Длс - тоже большой вопрос, пока не хочется, но может когда нибудь........ Итоговый вердикт 6/10

The Desperate Measures DLC won't launch and I can't get my money back.
