      I played some of Human Revolution but I didn’t like the grind-factor (nor did I like the weird forced boss fights).

      The original Deus Ex was so beautiful for the way you gained exploration and progress experience for finding secrets and accomplishing goals. Replacing that with a more “RPG-like” system that rewards hacking every single computer and doing non-lethal takedowns on every single enemy totally ruined it for me.

        The gameplay of HR wasn’t perfect, but I really enjoyed the story. At least at the time. I imagine it holds up pretty well, but I really cannot say

      Mankind Divided was the best Deus Ex since the original tbh. Such a shame that we’ll never get a sequel.

        For sure. It was great. I’ve played every entry in the series and those 2 are the memorable ones.

        Invisible war was awful but the hellfire boltcaster was immensely fun to use on the Templars lol.
