I bought as a fan of the original Deus Ex and it's modern sequels but this game is just awful. Without mods runs only in 4:3 aspect ratio. Locations are much smaller in comparison to the original and we are bombarded with constant loading screens. One ammo type that fits all weapons, no experience points - only progression is getting better equipment. Graphics isn't that, lighting and shadows look great but the characters look like they are made out of plastic, animations and faces are very uncanny. I think that Deus Ex aged batter in terms of gameplay, progression, level design and even its graphics has that characteristic charm.
This game is very difficult in the beginning, it took me 3h to stop dying to basic enemies. I'm still in the beginning but I already see that: There is a lot of variety between enemy ships and factions. Lots of weapons and modules to craft and upgrade. Exploration is very fun, diffrent resources, containers, trading ships. Combat is engaging, weapons are varied - we have diffrent primary and secondary weapons, booster and consumables.
