Better than Human Revolution

This game gets a bad reputation for following the amazing act that was Deus Ex, but honestly it's way better than Human Revolution. Sure HR has more open levels and prettier graphics (though the lighting is actually worse because early 2000's fully rendered shadows were just cool) but all that's in exchange for a stepping back of the simulation systems that made Deus Ex what it was (and yes, they were present in IW). Human Revolution was designed to take some of the simulation elements out where as Invisible War is very clearly a Immersive Sim on full display. Also the plot in Invisible War is far stronger than HR living up to the ideas and intents in the original Deus Ex with twists and turns and dark secret societies based in human culture. Deciding the final fate of the Dentons was far more satisfying than the forgettable ending of HR. If HR is remembered well, frankly so too should this. Neither of them fill the massive shoes of the original Deus Ex, but both are good games in their own right. Invisible War is a good Deus Ex game, and a good Immersive Sim which makes it a better game than 90% of games out there.

Loading screen simulator

You will spend more time waiting for a level to load than playing. Will never live up to its predecessor.

Dated but still a good game.

I loved this game when it first came out, it's a true first person RPG action game. This game is a bit dated now compared to modern titles, but it's still enjoyable. This game references the first game constantly, but is better considered a standalone title. (I never liked the other Deus Ex games I played as I felt they lacked atmosphere). This game without patching does not run well on modern hardware! But there is an a patch called the "Deus Ex 2 Visible Upgrade" (google will get you there). This patch will show up a a "heuristic" virus in most modern AV programs but as far as I can tell this just means the AV doesn't trust the file, as it doesn't know what it is. When using this upgrade I choose the following and experienced no issues: I choose not to keep the original game, in the VisibleTweaker tool I selected under Overview, the check box "unified texture pack master enable", then under Display I set the resolution to the same as my monitor (1920x1080). After this I entered the game set the resolution to match, and upped the Multi-sampling to 8x. Exited the game, then started it up again. I would save often as the AI is a bit wonky occasionally, but it's still easy to loose hours playing this so it's worth buying.

still better than HR and MD

This game is still more of a true Deus Ex sequel than Human Reovultion and Mankind Divided. Yes, it's way watered down and made for consoles compared to the original (the GOAT) but the story is still just as engaging to me. I played it so much when I had it for my OG Xbox. Good to see GOG offering it for the PC.

A game that lost the Deus Ex Spirit

If you judge Deus Ex: Invisible War as a sequel to the original Deus Ex, then Invisible War is incredibly disappointing. Invisible War has simplified a lot of the RPG elements that were the strongest points of Deus Ex's gameplay: skill trees have disappeared and the player is no longer judged by his actions, the options of using force versus stealth no longer has relevence to player choices and each are seen as "viable options" by both military (WTO) and religious (The Order) groups. Also, the music has been overhauled and feels non-existent when compared to the amazing soundtrack used in the first game, and the voice acting has become even more lackluster and emotionless. If you judge Invisible War on it's own merits, it still comes up short as a good experience. It tries to have the in-depth systems but because the RPG elements were removed. The game's confined areas are too claustrophobic to be able to use any type of strategy (stealth, planning etc.) and the plot feels too detached from our main protagonist to be interesting. Our main protagonist (Alex) feels unnecessarily dumbed down, with barely any thoughts or impulses of their own that the player can bounce off and reflect. They don't decide on their own or use their own intuition, instead asking very silly questions to everyone they meet. Also, there are bugs, silly ragdoll effects and poorly written dialogue but they seem like small annoyances when compared to the main problem: Because the game tries to be both in-depth and simplified, trying to have an intricate plot with simplified factions and belief systems, and trying to be a sleek action game with rpg exploration and questing makes invisible war come off as one thing: absolutely boring. For me, this game was not enjoyable and lacks everything that's needed to be either an exciting shooter or a Deus Ex sequel. It just seems to disappoint on all fronts. Do yourself a favor if you're either a Deus Ex fan or not. Just avoid this game, and move on.
