Playing from start to finish with a controller, no mods, was honestly a dream come true for me. I went in with an open mind, fully aware of the game’s age and flaws, and ended up really enjoying my time. What I Liked - I’ve only played Deus Ex: Human Revolution before this, and surprisingly, I liked Invisible War better. - The level design is solid. I never got lost, and the maps felt compact and easy to navigate. - Objectives were always clear — I knew what to do and where to go. - Choices throughout the game actually mattered. By the end, your actions felt like they had weight. What Didn't Work So Well - I had to do some serious "jiu-jitsu" with controller remapping — many buttons just didn’t work out of the box. - Brightness issues made some areas hard to see. - Some areas dragged on longer than they needed to. - Dropping items didn’t work properly, and I couldn’t move the mouse in the inventory. I had to temporarily switch the game out of fullscreen and use save file tricks — even reinstall the game a few times — just to manage my gear. - The enemy AI was either funny-bad or randomly extremely challenging — not much in between, which made encounters unpredictable in a weird way. - The game crashed or froze on loading screens occasionally, but reopening it usually brought me back to the last save. Pro tip: use lots of save slots (I had at least 7). Final Thoughts Despite its quirks, Invisible War gave me a memorable experience. It's rough, sure — but if you accept it for what it is, there’s still a good game underneath. I’d recommend it to open-minded players, especially those who enjoy immersive sims. My Verdict: Worth playing if you’re patient and save often.
while the game is great for us Dues Ex fans, its really need in GOG Preservation Program.
Good port, interesting story, tbc...
