Is that the OG deus ex, or the remake? I played the remake, but didn’t enjoy it as much as cyberpunk. I’ve heard pretty good things about the OG, but I’ve kinda also been worried about how clunky it looks.
The graphics and gameplay are definitely dated, but at $7, it’s still worth giving it a try. I’m happy to replay it every few years, but I also played it shortly after it came out, so the nostalgia factor probably biases my view of it.
I like to think of it more like an interactive comic book than a modern game. Even after a dozen playthroughs over 2+ decades, I still usually find one a couple things each time that I don’t remember. Maybe that’s just because I’m old and my memory is fading, but it’s still fun.
“Give me Deus Ex”
“No, I wanted Deus Ex. They gave me orange.”
“The game would not make a mistake.”
“It’s Square Enix! They know I hate orange filters on everyhing!”
“So you think the developers have some kind of plot against you?”
“Yes, they did it on purpose!”
