Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

This game feels like it was made with passion; like it was made by someone who was permitted to make the game they've always wanted to make. It starts out deceptively unspectacular however. Just keep playing and you'll understand why it's so highly treasured. Also keep in mind that the game was being made back in the late 90's with the tools & computing power that were available at the time. The graphics will look quite dated but there are easily installed community-made mods that improve the graphics considerably.

If you want to know why I love to play games on PCs, get this game and experience what early 2000s had to offer. But if you do get this game and play it on a modern PC I advise you to get a mod called GMDX, it gives support for 2560x1440 resolution and enhances the textures somewhat but does in it a way that don't mess with it too much like other mods do... Also I like the changes to AI this mod gives, they are interesting!

This game is a classic for a reason, the gameplay is amazing and really lets you come up with some absolutely broken and fun strategies, which you'll need because those tranq darts aren't going to do what you think they will. The soundtrack is catchy and has tracks I'll come back to just for a listen. Most importantly the story is mind bending and an utter joy to experience, and every year it proves it's self more relevant from 9/11 to the Corona virus. I, for one, welcome our MJ-12 overlords.

A pandemic, a vaccine, global conspiracies, high tech low life, self-conscious artificial intelligences: Deus Ex takes it all and more and makes a great plot. Yes, graphics are kinda meh as of 2021. Yes, the enemies' AI is dumb sometimes. Yes, the game mechanics don't reward your roleplaying much after the first couple of parts. Yes, the hacking mechanics is boring. It does not diminish your pleasure from living through an entertaining and engaging story. The game's plot has become even better now with 2022 coming in, COVID not coming away, QAnon being out there and suspiciously many in-game quotes sounding exactly like what you've heard from news over the last couple of years. The plot is worth it, and living through it as J.C. Denton is really much more rewarding than reading it somewhere. Have a try.

For me, is one of my favorite games ever... Is a FPS, RPG, Stealth game with an amazing story that can be changed by our choices during the game... It's a must have for sure... I don't own it digitally because I own 3 CD's versions (the normal version, GOTY version and the digipack version)... That's how good the game is for me...
