A pandemic, a vaccine, global conspiracies, high tech low life, self-conscious artificial intelligences: Deus Ex takes it all and more and makes a great plot. Yes, graphics are kinda meh as of 2021. Yes, the enemies' AI is dumb sometimes. Yes, the game mechanics don't reward your roleplaying much after the first couple of parts. Yes, the hacking mechanics is boring. It does not diminish your pleasure from living through an entertaining and engaging story. The game's plot has become even better now with 2022 coming in, COVID not coming away, QAnon being out there and suspiciously many in-game quotes sounding exactly like what you've heard from news over the last couple of years. The plot is worth it, and living through it as J.C. Denton is really much more rewarding than reading it somewhere. Have a try.
