Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition

When it comes to story, gameplay, music, and everything... I think this has to be the greatest Immersive Sim of all time. System Shock 2 is incredible, and Prey (2017) is near perfection, but Deus Ex just has the best overall package for me.

No game ever made has ever come close to the amazing quality that this game has. One of the most amazing stories ever with a great combat system. You like fighting? go ahead and kill every one in New York then. You like to hack computers and talk your way through problems? go ahead and do that too. This game gives you the ability to do many different things that all lead you down a path to multiple endings. Virtually every decision that you make has an impact on the story somewhere down the line. I am so happy that this game is added on gog.com because this is seriously the grand daddy of good old games!

Absolutely sublime! The PERFECT GAME in any angle! I own it on PC and PlayStation 2 and bought it here too! It worth the whole price. I play it and replay it, again and again, on the realistic mode (one bullet well shut cause your death). Every time you take another decision, isn't the same game anymore. Perfect atmosphere and beautiful music. I'll stop here, think you got the point. If it's one game in you life worth have it, THIS IS IT!

In a way this was a bad game for me as I couldn't play anther mindless shooter game again after playing it and there aren't enough games like it. This is just the perfect game with multiply ways to play each level and is there really anything I need to say about it that others haven't?

I remember playing Deus Ex the first time... it blew me away then, and even the several times I've played through it again since have been massively enjoyable for me. Deus Ex is one of the first FPS/RPG hybrids out there, and although it does of course push it a bit towards the FPS side a bit - it balances the sides admirably. Want to charge in gung ho with guns blazing? Invest in combat skills and augs and pump away. Or you could sneak and hack your way through the game. But unlike many games even of today it didn't limit your choices to gameplay effects - the way you interacted with others, the way you do your job, all conspired to form a pattern of what kind of person JC was and how others would react to you later in the game. The story, while cheesy (to be completely fair) still draws you in. The acting is a bit wooden but you just don't care - the story is played out in a way that makes you really feel a part of the world in the 2050s, aided greatly by the surprisingly vibrant, darkly atmospheric world - it may not have changed every second but it nevertheless felt alive. Well, yes, rants aside, I highly recommend this game to just about anybody who finds it even mildly interesting. You won't be disappointed.
