Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

I finished this game about 8 years ago. Best cyberpunk story ever written. Multiple ways to complete tasks, and much more. If you like cyberpunk, conspiracy, politics and prefer stealth approach it is definitely game for you!

I was no longer a virgin after playing Deus Ex!

AWESOME

Deus Ex, even by todays standards, is a complex RPG with a resounding amount of depth that even surpasses that of modern games. Though not everything it does stands up to current standards, it still shines as an example of great design. Many people may find this game overly difficult to play if they hadn't around the time of its release. It's not for everyone, but still more than worth your time to experience.

I am disappointed that people are so biased with this game because of their great memories with it. This is a common problem with the reviews on GOG. Stop reviewing your nostalgia! This was a masterpiece of its time, but now it feels dated like a black and white SF movie. The story is good, but the missions are boring for several reasons: one the scenery is to dull and dark, like there is no daylight, and second the controls are to complex and not so intuitive. Third, a big letdown, the stealth system is also poor. The tranquilizer darts approach is not stealthy at all, because the enemy will shoot back or activate alarms before falling. Also you don't really know if you are hidden (which makes sense, but for a game is annoying). Some games age well, but with most you will just see their flaws get bigger with time, as game technology evolve. You need to review it as it stands today, not how it was when you were a kid and had a blast with it. Deus Ex is the game you return to because of nostalgia, and besides story has little to offer today.
