Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Digital Deluxe Edition

Crash central

The game is actually really, really good, which makes it all the more annoying and heartbreaking that I encountered several game breaking bugs within the first 5 hours of play. Game crashes if I click customise on a weapon in my inventory. Game crashes if I craft too many items. I tried many fixes and nothing worked. According to Steam forums this is an uncommon but sadly unpatched bug. So if you buy this game just note that you may be one of the unlucky ones who cannot properly play the game. Can you technically still play the game? Yes, but that's not the point. I paid for and expected a full experience without any caveats and I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to have an enjoyable time. It just sours the whole thing when you're constantly worrying about crashes every time you do some tiny little thing. So it's a hard pass from me. The game flopped commercially and the IP is up in the air still as of 2023 so no way is this going to get patched now. If it does, I will amend my review, but let's be real, this game is dead as far as support goes. Not expecting any miracles. Also just note that even if the game does work, it is still a massive resource hog. Doom 2016 came out the same year and is a thousand times better optimised for PC despite also targeting consoles. Doom Eternal, Dead Space Remake, RE Engine Resi games, RDR2, absolutely no problem running on my PC, but this game from 2016? Nah bruv, hope you have 16GB of VRAM to spare for absolutely no reason.
