Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (2016 Video Game)

Awesome game if you are into exploration. And playing God.

[9/10 · 3 September 2016]

This game is so bad that it is awesome. First of all the graphics. Very good. The story - pretty much what you would expect from a Deus ex title. But what really sets it apart from other games? The dumb AI. No, I am not kidding, the AI in this game is so dumb, it is awesome. That's what clinched the deal for me. I have been playing for 16 hours now in the city of Praha and haven't even gotten to the main missions yet. I have only just completed the mission to fix my augments and completing that mission gave me the necessary tools to explore almost the entire city. I have spent so much time exploring that I feel as though I have almost covered all of it. And I have done it armed with a pistol and a few grenades. You would be foolish to play this game straight. I have tried all sorts of silly things and the more I discover the better it gets. For example, I went to this arms dealer to sell some of my stuff. Then I explore his own apartment and find some more stuff that I can sell. I promptly go back and sell his own stuff to him. And he buys them back from me without batting an eyelid. Then I killed him because he made a snide remark. The nerve. Somewhere else, I entered a restricted area by mistake. Goons started attacking me and so I ran away to hide in a corner. Luckily there were some cops in the area so they came in, attacked and killed all the goons and called it a day. I then casually scrolled into the restricted area and found awesome loot. There is no limit to the silly stuff you can try out in this game. Taking out the AI is easy enough, you hide in a corner and they come to you in single file as you pick them off one by one. The best part is that the remarks they make as they advance; makes it look like they have it all figured out. And then I take them out. I love this silliness. This game is almost like a parody of the genre and though it tries to take itself seriously I would advise fellow gamers against taking it seriously. Deus ex mankind divided is a fun ride, probably the most fun I have had playing a game in decades. And my friends feel the same way. You should definitely check it out, you will not be disappointed.
