However the ending is abrupt and clearly sequel bait. 340 1789 Trudel, N., Improving Geometry Culling for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Game Developers Conference, Mar. So it can be difficult to get into at first but the pay off when everything comes together is good. There's a lot more new names thrown around, and the the story needed an 'excuse' to do certain things (remember both these games are prequels to the original). I think you should take a break between games. There is even more gameplay choices that effect events in the game (hard to tell on a single playthrough but wow there is some depth here). The side missions are bigger than the campaign missions. Augs are more offensive (so stealth isn't as overpowered ), the hub world is huge and even more dense. MD improves on moment to moment gameplay but wow does it throw you in with that painful Dubai shootout and new controls. MD is superior if you look at the individual elements but IMO it doesn't nail the landing like HR does. Levels are open enough (for 2011), the hub world is sizeable and half way dense but not overwhelming, a good main campaign with decent side missions as well as all the gameplay aspects you clearly liked. It's not perfect but it gets right the things it really needs to. So it really depends on what makes or breaks a game for someone. I mean yes, you do get cooler powers in mankind divided, but it really doesn't make up for the vastly smaller world. From random augmentation related stuff in Sarif industries, to the mercs griping about the black ops nature of their assignment, to the interesting news room discussions about some fabricated stories to get more clicks than the competition, to even the same Nigerian prince email that reads totally differently in a random employees mailbox versus the CEO-s, where it actually reads like a lot of the other emails he regularly gets. Hidden pieces of information on the computers is just more imaginative. And this is again, because of the better and more varied map design. The places where praxis can be found by breaking through walls in china for instance or the sewers. Thankfully, the various gameplay styles and the inclusion of the unique, arcade-ish Breach VR missions will give players plenty of reasons to keep coming back to the future.The map and environment design in human Revolution is far more varied than mankind divided by the virtue of just having more different environments and locations. If there's one minor drawback to this, it's that depending on exactly how you've customized your personal Adam Jensen, you almost feel a little overpowered by the time you hit the endgame. ![]() Whichever path you choose, though, there's no shortage of upgrades and abilities. Instead of charging into a guarded warehouse and letting the lead fly, why not hack a nearby terminal, open a high window, and dash over those guards' heads, leaving them none the wiser to your presence? In fact, the game even encourages it by offering up more XP for keeping your guns holstered. While you can always go in guns blazing, it's actually a lot more interesting to figure out alternative ways to bypass violence. You're given a ridiculous amount of freedom in how you can accomplish objectives and overcome obstacles. The personal options go well beyond the game's plot. The downside to this is Adam Jensen doesn't get much character development, feeling much more generic than he did in Human Revolution. While the plot has a fairly distinct beginning and end, it's the way you perceive and react to the world around you that makes the story more personal. ![]() You're thrust into a world where one group of people is separated from the rest for reasons that could be seen as justified and simultaneously inexcusable. But Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is less about Jensen's story than the player's. This is the world Adam Jensen - and the player - lives in. The world of Deus Ex is a cyberpunk dystopia, a place where advancements in human augmentation that were meant to help people achieve their full potential have instead led to distrust and isolation. This massive adventure is an incredibly deep, surprisingly flexible adventure where the player's choices dictate the story, the action, and, eventually, how the world changes.
