Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

9.1/10

Since it's debut in 2000, the Deus Ex franchise has wowed and enraptured cyberpunk fans everywhere with its sprawling universe where the actions and choices of the player can change the course of the world and the story in equal measure. Mankind Divided continues the story of the series' third installment, Human Revolution, but does it light the way to a better tomorrow, or is it just a crazy pipe-dream for people who attach too much importance to triangles?

It's been exactly five years since we left Adam Jensen in the Panchaea Arctic base, stopping the unfortunate Augmented Incident in 2027. Only two years passed for him, though, and the political climate in 2029 is at a crossroads with pro and anti-Augmented factions fighting against each other.

[divider]CONCLUSION[/divider]As a huge Deus Ex fan, with Human Revolution being one of my personal favourites for the previous generation, it’s easy to look at Mankind Divided as a bit of a disappointment, as it falters in many aspects and lacks substantial improvements in other areas that previous games failed in. However, Mankind Divided is still an interesting exploration in sci-fi themes, with a solid narrative and some incredibly refined gameplay mechanics backing it up.

“Deus Ex: Mankind Divided delivers on the franchise's classic cocktail of open-ended, action-stealth gameplay.”

Action!Jensen didn't ask for a sequel. He also didn't ask to be a basketball star/super agent/whiskey lover. What he did ask for was that fangirls back off and take a number.

Despite the controversy surrounding the ‘Aug Lives Matter’ promotional art, the initial premise of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is deeply engaging for me. This

Mankind Divided hasn't lost the soul of a Deus Ex game, but it doesn't hit the heights it's reaching for.

Despite owning a physical copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and being quite aware of its cult classic status, I’ve yet to actually play it. You can boo, you may hiss - but I think it puts this particular reviewer at an advantage.

All that being said, all that negativity over Deus Ex: Mankind Divided‘s also-ran attitude, I still had a good time, and Mankind Divided isn’t a bad game. It’s a very large, stand-alone expansion pack for Human Revolution that has no impact on the world and offers no reward for your time invested beyond the fun you can have punching NPCs in the face at the end of a side mission just because they dared to question your actions. It’s a dull, gruff, disinterested, robotic sequel that slips into the persona of its main character like a synthetic arm into a well-fitted trenchcoat.

A mechanically solid game with some fantastic level design that sadly delivers a narrative that is ho-hum at best.

Breach mode is to put in the simplest way possible a time attack version of the main game, with smaller stages and more confined and less beautiful locales. Most of the core gameplay from the main mode remains here though it is locked beneath what is to me a questionable system. The upgrade system of the mode takes the form of booster packs. These packs contain everything from weaponry and consumables, to new praxis kits or mission modifiers. In both the main game and breach mode SE has added micro-transactions into it. This is only for those who want to use money to get an edge of course as t...
