Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

After playing with both Deus Ex 2 and 3 and enjoying both of them I heard that Deux Ex 1 is superior to all. Now I know the truth. There is a lot of similarity in all of these games. There are always multiple approaches to any kind of situation. I have a huge preference to stealth and non lethal weapons in all of these games and this is by far the best.

After having finished Deus Ex a good 12 times over the past 11 or so years, all I can say is that till this day it is unrivalled in terms of "soul" and what contributes to this "soul" of Deus Ex is exceptional writing, believable characters, awesome thought provoking story and themes it deals with (trans-humanism, human nature, justice, political & existential philosophy, etc.), exceptional voice acting, brilliant and varied gameplay, incredible music, awesome atmosphere and the Unreal engine (I am a sucker for the Unreal engine). The game is also not short; it is a good 30-50 hours (depending on how diligent you are with exploration), so there is plenty "bang for your buck". Deus Ex is simply a game/experience that no review or any amount of words can do justice (just as with Planescape Torment); you simply need to experience/play it for yourself to "get it" and become one of the many who know this game for what it is (even in todays "gaming explosion"): a timeless masterpiece.

deus ex is a classic. It good

The overall mechanics of this game are wonky at best, but it established the genre we now know as the "immersive sim." You have complete freedom in how you approach each mission. Whether you want to kill everyone and everything, or do a pacifist run. This is where the game really shine.
