There are numerous game-breaking bugs that haven't been patched. In my three playthroughs, the game consistently crashes during the train station cutscene. The game often randomly crashes even without dx12, save files get corrupted when you overwrite saves, and now the game crashes every time I fast travel in Prague. It's a very good game, better than Human Revolution in many ways, but it's sad to see this game in the state it's in due to poor optimization. There are no community patches that fix these game-breaking bugs unlike Human Revolution, which runs pretty well without them anyway.
This game is like so many others these days in that you have to jump through a shit load of hoops to get into playing the game. The Devs would tell me this replaces a manual or something else. Well, it is tiresome and in many of the games I have like this I can't get past the hoop station. The driving games that use wasd for control are impossible to me.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided is an absolute must play for the immersive sim fans.The level design rivals even the original Deus Ex and the story while short its good enough to keep you looking for more. Prague is beautiful .
Considering how cheap this game goes on sale its really a no brainer.
Two years after the events of Human Revolution, Mankind Divided finds Adam Jensen working for an anti-terrorist intelligence and response team, known as Task Force 29, and the Juggernaut Collective, a global hacktivist group determined to bring the Illuminati secrets into the public eye. A terrorist bombing early in the game sets the stage for Adam to find the perpetrators behind it, possibly manipulated by the Illuminati to spur sentiment against augmented people. Unfortunately, some of the more interesting plot threads from the first game, such as White Helix's research, are left by the wayside.
While featuring a weaker main storyline than its predecessor, it's still a competent one that succeeds at creating a more gripping atmosphere thanks to the superior and well-integrated side quests that constantly reinforce the narrative and evolve as you enter Act III. The TF29 headquarters deserve a special nod in the atmosphere department, constantly buzzing with activity and giving the impression people were actually working there and running other ops. Gameplay-wise it follows the trail laid out by Human Revolution, with augmented abilities that need to be unlocked and upgraded via praxis kits and the tetris-like inventory management. Multiple paths are available to tackle each mission depending on your abilities and even Bosses can be taken down in other ways besides blowing them to kingdom come.
For better or worse, Mankind Divided laid the groundwork for future sequels, raising many more questions than it conclusively answers regarding the overarching narrative of the Illuminati’s secret agenda and Adam’s place in it. For my part, the gameplay and atmosphere eclipsed its main storyline, delivering as good an experience as Human Revolution. One can only hope Jensen’s next adventure is not too far off into the future and that we’ll see familiar characters from both entries return to help our favourite augmented cop uncover this worldwide conspiracy.
I enjoy the gameplay elements very much, like for example sneaking past enemies, hacking every computer and reading even the most boring emails.
But unfortunately I have to complain about the horrible optimization of the game and it's problems with CPUs that have 16 threads. Loading times were bad since I started playing this game among other problems during gameplay. After reading a bit in different forums I found a solution, all you have to do is to open the task-manager and reduce the amount of threads the game uses from 16 to only 8 and bam, your game loads much quicker.
It's the first game I ever had to do this for. I didn't even know you could reduce the amount of threads a process uses in the task manager before.
Therefore I rate this game with only 1 star, also maybe due to the rather boring story. The gameplay is nice but don't expect an astonishing story from it.
