Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

I don't know how good the gameplay is past level 1, but the graphics are way too dated to keep my interest in this game. If you end up buying this game, don't compare it to the newer releases. If you're someone who doesn't care about graphics over gameplay, maybe give it a chance.

Do yourself a favor and play this.

I see this game as a charlatan, that was heralded as open game play with multiple endings and hybrid gameplay. Many games came before it with those same accolades but the reign of fps and good graphics was starting to come upon us so it was and ever shall be seen as a golden goose. I played this when it came out and it was buggy, with a boring story and all its 'innovated' stuff had been done before. The game is really just system shock with a lot more focus on trying to be an action film while wielding a 90's conspiracy feel. Unforgettable? Yes, the sewer level is one of the worst in game history.

While this is a great game, you can buy it in the uk on cd for arounf £5.00, you might even get it cheaper, nd the cd copy I got runs perfectly fine on my pc with win 7 (64bit) still a great game though.

I listened to the positive ratings and I regret it. Pass on this one. I don't know how or why this game is so revered. The only explanation I have for the adoration this game receives is its conspiracy-heavy "love letter to Alex Jones" plot that some fans are convinced is a reflection of our "deep-state" world in game form. I'm pretty sure they see it as the one game that "red-pills" you with the "deep truth" about the Rockefellers & Rothschilds controlling the govt, etc. Generously, the game is just OK. But if I were being even-handed and measured in my rating I would skew towards calling this game BAD. The combat in this game is HORRENDOUS. The graphics are pretty bad (not TOO bad for the time, but not to the levels of Half-Life). General game mechanics are clunky and AWFUL. The missions and story are BORING. I'm honestly at a complete loss as to why this game is so revered. The one fun/novel aspect of the game is the minutiae of hacking and data log tie-ins to create traps/reveal secrets. That's it. That's all it has to offer. I pushed myself halfway through the game before relenting to my better nature and giving it up. The game is SO BORING. I wake up in the mornings with no desire to ever finish or play the game again. Deus Ex is often compared to System Shock 2 in tone, mechanics, overall greatness. Which, after playing Deus Ex, is a comparison that makes absolutely no sense. System Shock 2 absolutely blows Deus Ex out of the water. SS2 is a MONUMENTALLY better game and they're not even close to being in the same tier. This game is like if Perfect Dark & Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 had a REALLY clunky, poorly designed software baby, and that baby was the Q'anon Shaman. Except that it's more boring than that and harder to control.
