Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

There is nothing that can be said about this masterpiece thats hasn't been already told or so I thought because every playthrough you will find something new. The music, the atmosphere, the dialogue, the politics and the philosophy behind this game is unparalleled in the games yet to come (apart from SMAC which is on equal footing, heh). For linux (+ lutris) you will have to thinker with the resolution by editing the xy lines in the DeusEx.ini file since it cant go past the 700x700 something.

Still one of the best games ever. Why developers haven't tried to replicate the Deus Ex model more is beyond my comprehension. What made it so good was that you could complete each level and your objectives in so many different ways, from so many different angles. Very few games try to do this these days.

Initially after install, I had 2 issues: 1) Brightness was too low and could not be changed. 2) Dialoge text was not displayed correctly and speech ended too early. Both were corrected after these changes : 1Edit the ./system/deusex.ini file, in it look for the line "GameRenderDevice=…" and set it to "GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice". 2. After the "GameRenderDevice=…" line, add the following one under it: "FrameRateLimit=60" So it looks like this: GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice FrameRateLimit=60

Three main entrys came after this game and none could beat the King. This game is still the best sci fi dystopian FPS RPG ever made. The gripping story that takes you around the world chasing a governmental conspiracy, the fantastic soundtrack, the design of levels and characters, the community that grew around this game and made it so much better with mods, all top notch and unsurpassed untill today. It seems that game producers nowadays are lazy and prefer to bet on sure bets like remaking old games, rather than taking a dive into uncharted territory and inspirations to make original. We are facing a originality crisis and sometimes for the better, because this game deserves a propper AAA remake and a Movie. Even if they don't, the community will. It's not a modern game, but at least it has soul.
