I think this game was largely mediocre
The Good I liked that you could upgrade your abilities. I think the story was alright. There were multiple paths that you could take to go into places. You can save whenever you want. The Bad There was only 1 animation used throughout the entire game, when you talk to woman characters, including bosses. The hacking minigame gets boring and repetitive fast. And when it says 15% to be detected, it’s lying. For some hacks that I did, it consistently triggered the alarm even though it said 15%. The thing is, I have hacked in the game so many times, that when it used to say 30% or 50%, I had a better chance of not setting of the alarm. And when you had to hack stuff that was mandatory to pregoress the story, the 15% detection seemed to work. It’s like, when it’s crucial to the story, the let you do it properly but when you are just hacking hard stuff and you have the detection at 15%, because of all your upgrades, the game cheats and that’s bullshit. The game was too long. They reused a ton of assets so levels look like places you visited before. Hong kong radios have that same English conspiracy guy talking. Books and text on stuff are in English. The commentary was done bad. You can’t see where it is, you just have to walk and hope you hear a sound or an icon to begin listening to it. And when you commentary on, it will go on through cutscenes. So if characters in the game were talking, the commentary will be on top of it and you’ll be hearing both of them at the same time. The commentary was a bad job. Conclusion At first when I was playing the game, I thought it was really good, but the more I played, the more I realized that the game actually wasn’t very good. It was mediocre. So, the game was not entirely bad but not good. It’s living off the name and ip of the game made before it and the game was made by entirely new and different people. I bought all the new deus ex games and now I’m left here thinking I wasted my money.
