Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

The first direct sequel in the Deus Ex series, Mankind Divided continues the storyline from the previous game, Human Revolution, following the same protagonist, Adam Jensen, as he finds himself trying to piece together a conspiracy in a world that despises augmented people like him due to the incident in the latest game's climax. HR had multiple endings, and MD does a pretty good job of finding a balance between all of them, so the story can more or less continue seamlessly. Things have gone wrong for pretty much everyone, and the world is now closer and closer to the dystopia seen in the original Deus Ex. Sadly, while the premise is interesting, the story doesn't really fare very well. This is due to two factors: one, the story is blatantly unfinished. At some point, the game ends in what feels like the second act. It's too obvious that they cut the story to make more room for sequels. The game is long enough, that's not an issue, but the story lacks closure, which is a problem. The other issue with the story is the heavy-handed way it's handled. It tries to make a parallel with current events and discrimination in the real world, but fails spectacularly at justifying it because, unlike what happens with racism and other kinds of unfair discrimination in the real world, in this setting people are entirely justified in fearing the augmented. And even taking that into account the game sometimes goes the other extreme and makes your antagonists cartoonishly evil. It's pretty jarring, actually. That being said, the gameplay is just top notch. Probably the best in the entire series. It's so good that you can just entirely ignore how silly the story gets and immerse yourself into the world anyway. There's also some impressive level design here, and some incredibly fun new abilities. Due to that I have absolutely no problem recommending the game. Just lower your expectations when it comes to the story and you'll have dozens of hours of fun.

And that's about it. There were a few gameplay enhancements that are welcome but overall it's not really much and the lore was exploited poorly. Arguably that's something happening since Invisible War but it's not much better than Human Revolution. If you get it on the cheap it's OK. In the launcher set "Excluive fullscreen" to on otherwise the game will try to fry your videocard.

Feels good to play but too repetitive and just a bit boring.

Crashes as well sadly adsdadadsdsasdadadaadads

Minor graphical glitches everywhere. Little square artifacts that looks like a template for some post-processing. When I get close enough, the squares disappear into a proper post-processed texture. Major bug. Stuck when you talk to Miller and Chikane flies in. Screen glitches from gaining experience and I am stuck halfway through the ground with no way to move.
