Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

i didnt buy this game here since i have it on steam but no matter who you are you MUST own this game

On W11 the game doesnt work. Tried everything,

The title of this review might strike you as hyperbole. It's not. No game (aside from that one Human Revolution sequel) has even attempted to reach the heights of Deus Ex and while HR came close, it's nowhere near as deep and well-balanced as Deus Ex with the Shifter mod ends up being. Just get this game, install the aforementioned mod and enjoy what video gaming could have ended up being if developers still had these ridiculously high aims.

One of the best action/rpg games, still very much playable despite the, very aged, graphics. Great music, superb plot, very interesting cyberpunk setting. I ADORE this game and can recommend it to pretty much everyone but people who don't play action/stealth games at all.

Deus Ex is arguably the best game EVER. In all of history. Why? Choice. In Deus Ex you can choose to be good or evil, you can choose to be stealthy or aggressive, you can choose to be snarky or sincere. These choices impact the game in two ways. Firstly they totally transform how your gameplay will be. Choose heavy weapons and you will be kicking in the front door and looking for the guards, but choose the tranq darts and you will be taking totally different routes through the same buildings to reach your goal and different routes again to if you go the sniper route. Secondly they will change the reactions other characters have towards you in ways which really make you feel it. The genius of DX is the supporting cast who are subtly fleshed out so you feel their praise or disappointment in a big way, and you care about if they make it or not through the plot. Now I could tell you the plot is incredible, or that the dialogue is quotable as hell, but that isn't the point. The game design, how it rewards you and shapes your experience of the game is what matters, and in this department Deus Ex has never been bettered. The replay value is huge, the designers thoughts of every way you could try and break it and you will delight in seeing some of the pre-recorded dialogue which greets your attempts to subvert them. For $10 this is the greatest bargain for years, snap it up now!
