Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

Ive played through this game twice, once in 2003 on my dads computer that barely hit minimum specs for the game and once again in 2021. Its possibly the best RPG made for the PC, the dialogue is interesting and the characters ideals and goals are well layered, the gameplay can feel very dated at times but after gaining experience, leveling up your skills and installing some bio mods its a blast. This game is an absolute gem and if you can see past the aging qualities of an ancient engine and look at the story telling and interactivity in the world and NPCs you will come to realize that in the year 2000 this magnificent game became a well deserved legend. 10/10

most of the game is excellent roleplaying. your stats affect your abilities in big ways, augmentations open more options but are suitably rare, the choices you make in both dialogue and simply in navigating levels are usually accounted for. first issue, three of the skills in your skill tree are barely useful. never put ranks in swimming or environmental resistence, maybe put a single rank and no more in medical if you're really struggling. second, about 40% of this game could be cut without losing all that much. after a while, the game becomes bland shooter levels and only really recovers at the tail end of the game. for seven usd, probably lower because the game goes on sale quite often, i'd say it's worth it.

The Conspiracy: the masterpiece

I have been waiting a LONG time for this. I have been a fan of the original Deus Ex for the longest time. I know I'm not writing a proper review of it right now, I just have to say it: This is one of the best games out there, period, bar-none. I am now going to buy it, download it and play until I'm in some kind of Deus Ex-induced stupor. Thank-you.

This is my N° 1, followed by the Fallout clasical series. This is a game of true choices, I cant tell anything without spoiler, but the game give you big choices in a sutil way you cant even realice in a first run, it really surpise me back then. In this game (unlike the last "episode") you can avoid all the mayor battles and win the game by hacking and stealth. You can make your own path. there is a lot of secrets to reveal. The plot is great, and by the time it was relaesed, it was the dream of a mayor geek X files fan like me... What can I say, I owned retail, on Steam, and now I gonna get it here. By the way, the original retail CD was absolutly DRM free, I still own it and play with a private copy I made in a simple cd copy soft, no hack no special image needed, I loved that... thats also why I bought it again... You cant miss it!!!
