Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

This is literally my first experience with the game and I am having a blast. It's a very engrossing, immersive sim, and there are reasons why this is still considered a master-piece to this day. Highly recomend that you install the fan update to smooth out some of the bugs that even the GOTY edition suffers from, but beyond that, it's shockingly playable in 2025.

One of the best games of my generation. Absolutely revolutionary!

For some, what I write will mean a lot. For some - probably nothing. In my opinion Deus Ex' storyline and gameplay is second to, and only to, System Shock 2. If you have tried neither, get Deus Ex, you probably won't regret it. If you loved SS2 and haven't played this game - it'll be as similar an experience as it can be.

Many people may be afraid to play this game because of the old age, however, I played Deus Ex for the first time roughly 3 months ago. Did it still stand up? The answer is a resounding YES. Deus Ex has activated its Nano Augmentations and has leaped into my list of favorite games of all time. The story is still amazing, the gameplay is fresh, you're rewarded for being intelligent. Want to run and Gun? Do it, you certainly can. Want to be a non-lethal sneaky agent who doesn't get caught and doesn't resort to killing? Do it. Want to be a sadistic "Equip a flame thrower and burn everything between me and my objective" All the more power to you. The game has almost no boundaries on play styles. Even know I have looked up lets plays and I see things done in completely different ways that I had. The depth the game has is really amazing, and it never truly has gotten old. If you can get passed the old graphics (which really aren't that bad, and they sort of add to the dystopian atmosphere), you'll have a game that has truly stood up to the test of time, slapped it around, and proudly plants its (nano augmented) boots firmly on the ground, where it will remain.
