Will give it a revisit, I need to, there's just too much going on in the story that makes me non stop talk about this game. Then I sit down and play it's mediocre combat. No matter how much I spec into guns, I don't like the concept of just stand still and cop it in order to guarantee hits. Also the second the dragon's tooth was discovered the combat can be devolved into just rush in and one tap. But I just keep thinking about the story so I must revisit.

This is a real immersive sim! I thought I wasn’t gonna like it cuz the gun mechanics are weird, but I really liked this game! The gameplay is fun, if a bit outdated, but I can look past that. The story was cool, with all the conspiracy stuff. J.C Denton is cool, the soundtrack is cool, it was all cool. However, being an old game, there isn’t an autosave feature and I had to use quick saves, which is annoying. I also got stuck a couple times, but that was just me being a low IQ individual. I actually tried to play this game a while back, got to the airfield and got stuck, and quit. But I made it past without issue this time. The last mission in area 51 was interesting, because there were 3 different outcomes and I didn’t know which one to pick. I went with the new dark age option, I still don’t know if that was the right one. But that what this game’s all about. It challenges the government and the way we rule our world. Even though this game is 24 years old, its themes are still relevant, like the ending choice on if you want an AI to rule the world, which feels like it could become a reality nowadays. Anyways great game, the most immersive sim-esque immersive sim, wouldn’t have Cruelty Squad without it.

As a kid, I remember this game being fantastic and iconic. I've always remembered the very first level on Liberty Island being so memorable and fun - it wasn't just a shooter, it had puzzles and problem-solving elements too. I liked that.

But something about this playthrough was wholly un-fun. The game hasn't aged well at all, especially on newer hardware. I'm certain that if Eidos ever did a complete remake/remaster of this game, it would be a different story. Unfortunately, I don't think they will.

3/10 - Had potential, didn't live up to it.

(7/10 if you're looking through the Nostalgia Glasses™)

Ouço falar de Deus Ex há muito tempo e nunca tive interesse até assistir a um vídeo de Max Derrat sobre o jogo. Achei a história bem interessante, fiquei curioso e decidi jogar. Além de não me arrepender, adorei a experiência e entendo bem o motivo dele ser considerado um grande jogo. É um jogo de ação/stealth em que você pode escolher como quer jogar. Pode ir sorrateiramente, usando ferramentas silenciosas ou ir pra cima jogando bombas e metralhando os inimigos. O jogo te possibilita seguir por vários caminhos na fase, mesmo que tenha um objetivo final em comum, mas caminhos diversos abordam uma jogabilidade diferente. Isso deixa o jogo mais interessante. No início senti uma estranheza com a voz dos personagens mas depois passou e eu comecei a gostar das dublagens. A música é bem legal, combina bem com o clima do jogo, me senti bastante envolvido com algumas trilhas e aquele momento do jogo em que tal música tocava era bastante imersivo pra mim. É possível também decidir que tipo de armamento usar: corpo a corpo, armas de fogo mais leves, armas de grosso calibre... O jogo realmente te permite diversas abordagens. A princípio, há muitas coisas a aprender: como seu personagens é um ser aumentado, uma criatura melhorada, você pode aprimorar determinadas capacidades para ele como correr silenciosamente, ter melhor pulmão para quando nadar, ser mais resistente a projéteis, se curar, isso pode ser confuso no começo mas é fácil de se adaptar. Há também habilidades para aprender como "hackear", melhorar uso de armas diversas, bombas, nadar melhor, arrombar fechaduras, etc, e tais habilidades tem 4 níveis, ficando cada vez mais potentes a cada ponto gasto. Sendo assim, é bem importante selecionar o que deseja para investir bem nelas, o que no começo do jogo fica difícil por não saber como será o andamento de tudo, então pode ter habilidades que não sejam relevantes e não se quer gastar ponto à toa. Isso não atrapalhou minha experiência porque o que achei mais maravilhoso foi a história. Foi altamente gratificante jogar e acompanhar o enredo falando sobre ficcão científica, história, política, geopolítica, filosofia, sociologia, biologia, enfim, muitos assuntos interessantes que se encaixaram muito bem. Apesar de já saber sobre o final do jogo, pois vi no vídeo de Max Derrat, eu entendi melhor o desenrolar da questão e pude vivenciar isso com emoção. Deus Ex realmente faz jus a seu famoso histórico de um dos melhores jogos já feitos. Ao final, eu estava relativamente superpoderoso e me envolver com inimigos acabou ficando um pouco repetitivo, então lá pelas últimas 3,4 horas eu acabei querendo finalizar logo. O maior ponto negativo não está no jogo em si, mas na forma como se faz para conseguir jogar: precisei baixar alguns programas para rodar e algumas melhoras gráficas, pois o jogo original é bem escuro. Acho isso precário dado tantos recursos tecnológicos que temos hoje. Mesmo sendo um jogo bem antigo, Deus Ex se sustenta bem na jogabilidade e acredito que sua história dificilmente ficará ultrapassada, pelo contrário, está cada vez mais atual!

Deus Ex is a game ahead of its time, its innovative, deeply philosophical and thoughtful and really fun to play and replay.
Gameplay has good depth, level design is masterful, story is great and prophetic, music is certified banger.
Its a must play PC classic and one of the greatest games of all time.

Excelente juego estilo cyberpunk.
Cuando lo desarrollaron dijeron:

-¿Cuantas conspiraciones ponemos?
-Si

Esta muy bien hilado, lo unico que hasta que te acostumbras al control del PJ, se hace un poco raro el manejarlo.

Lo recomiendo para pasar un muy buen rato.

Мир игры ощущается наверное одним из самых живых, что я видел в играх. Так учитывать все детали при этом имея такой хороший саунд дизайн, визуальный дизайн и проработку мира с событиями тебя окружающими... Это очень сильно! Игра великолепна во всем кроме технической части. У многих проблем нету, но у меня каждое открытие инвентаря или вообще любой части худа вызывает зависание и звук иногда сходил сума, игра с kentie лаунчером, там врубал однопоток и т.д, но это не помогало. Помог лок на 60 кадров, и то он лишь сделал эти зависания меньше. Но потом я нашел лучшее решение! перекрасил худ через настройки и о чудо! It's Work! Всем кто любит такой жанр игр и глубокие сюжеты, пройдите это обязательно

Really Good. I technically didn't "kill" anything either. Complete non-lethal not counting the stupid animals and how they are named animal carcass even if you used tranq and baton. Forced to explode a little number but I mean, they were a TERRIBLE person and they are the ONLY person in the game that is not tranq-able so whatevs. Robots I did explode but they are robits so whatever. In the end I did a lowest kill/one/two kill run of the game. And the best part, I still had a lot of fun while doing it.

This was great for its time and the story IS interesting but I would much rather just watch the 90 minute story summary instead of playing the game. I quit after I ran around looking for the solution of a level only to find out I ran into a bug making it so the necessary sequence doesn't trigger and made me stuck forever until I restart. Noped out.

A true classic in video game history.

A truly important game, ahead of its time in many ways when it was released.

Its virtues are several:

Its story, which deals with conspiracy themes of organizations controlling the world and scheming for their own interests, even if it costs millions of lives. It has a good philosophical and political background, rare to touch on in a video game from the year 2000, which leaves you not indifferent. It also has several endings, personally the one I chose I liked a lot and seemed, in a global context like that, the most appropriate (the game also puts you in that dilemma of choice when you reach that point).

Its soundtrack is absolutely incredible, an electronic genre somewhat synthwave and eighties that personally drives me crazy.

Its gameplay (with nuances) is very good. When I talk about gameplay, I particularly refer to the options the game gives you to complete the levels. This is undoubtedly what surprised me the most, since you can pass it in stealth in many ways, killing them all, gaining access to various areas or not, etc. It gives you many opportunities. However, the "action" option is somewhat regular leaning towards bad. The gunplay in this game is absolutely deplorable, and time is no excuse because in 1998 Half-Life had come out with magnificent gunplay. I think it's done on purpose to force you to be a true efficient agent and not a crazed Rambo. However, in my opinion, if you gave good killer gameplay and maintained the possibility for the player to choose how to overcome obstacles, it would be much better. In the end, it is true that the levels felt long to me, there was a lot of "searching for a hidden key who knows where." Very convoluted and even more considering that it is extremely easy to get lost, since there are no maps (and the ones they give you in "image" format do not make an effort to be clear). This last point is worth noting because it can easily become frustrating.

However, if you don't have a dislike for classic games, this is probably one of the most important titles in history. Just for that, I totally recommend at least trying it out.

I'm torn on this game, on one hand I liked the story and world this game presented, but on the other hand the performance was ass, it was very hard to see, it's annoying how you can't quick save while someone is interfacing with you, your choices don't matter that much, some levels were way too long and way too big, and all 3 endings are really unsatisfying. There's so much potential here but I feel like for every two good things, there's one really annoying thing.

It may be old, but still does things so much better than a lot of games to this day. I wish other games could be able to replicate its level design genius, and freedom of actions. In my opinion, it's a little too long

What a weird old game. The difficulty is all over the place, sequence breaks are everywhere, and specific enemy types are a fucking nightmare. They randomly and casually drop that aliens are a thing. It is a quality only found in games of this era where you simultaneously feel like a god and like glass surrounded by hammers. It's a whole lot of fun if you have the stomach for this kind of antiquated jank.

An historical game that has spawned so many copycats, successors, and spiritual successors. A true piece of gaming history that holds up very well (though can be enhanced with mods). Completed with GMDX as the original copy is far too dark. Level design is still fantastic by today's standards.

One of the original "duct hunt" games (i.e. immersive sims) where one solution to nearly every puzzle is to find the right air duct. Has a handful of cool ideas but simply isn't fun to play in modern day. I much prefer a more streamlined (some would say arcadey) game with very similar tropes and set pieces that released in the same month: Perfect Dark.

Notes on the PS2 version: Aiming is fine, looks OK, loading screens are a bummer but the worst part is the loading screens will show you images of the area you're about to enter killing some suspense and surprise. Also makes using augs on the fly difficult.

- Gunplay is never satisfying (except stealth one shotting)
- Going back to completed areas
- Environments are very ugly
- Level design in the early levels is terribly bland, boring and spread out (picks up after Hong Kong)
- Unclear where to go to a fault since sometimes the only way to progress is to find that one datapad or button you missed 12 rooms ago so you'll be stuck often (which was intentional)

+ Excellent soundtrack
+ "Bob Page" is a hilarious supervillain name
+ Gibbing guys with the rocket launcher
+ Good story and fun ending

Deus Ex feels like a complete knock off of half life, with even worse graphics and mechanics. Unfortunately, the graphics are so bad that i can't bring myself to continue. Perhaps i will install a mod later. It's worth mentioning that i really enjoyed Deus Ex Human Revolution.

100%PC

If 1999's The Matrix is genre-defining for movies, then 2000's Deus Ex is genre-defining in gaming.

For a 2000 game, this is a masterpiece. They worked and poured everything they had into the game with what technology was available at the time (I was still playing floppy disk games and didn't know about CD!). Prophetic, philosophical, engaging story and yet at the same time very comedic, mixed with bad voice acting and clumsy mechanic. The NPCs are unique and full of characteristic dialogue. A mix of everything that blends in and works together. Don't even think about graphics, just enjoy it.

Play if you want to laugh, and to think (but mostly to laugh). It's like watching a good comedy movie but it leaves you thinking. You also can choose how it will end.

The music is beautiful, I am in AWE of the title screen's theme every time I opened the game, almost on par with MGS3.

This game really is the Deus Ex Machina for gaming, in a time when PC gaming was still in its early stage.

Even despite it's age, it still holds up as a classic pioneer in the "Immersive Sim" genre. One of the greatest experiences I ever had, stealth is rewarding and challenging. If you like games like "Prey (2017)" or the Metal Gear series then this is perfect for you.

If graphics are holding you up, then there exist mods like GMDX and others which enhance visuals and fix some bugs and generally enhance user experience without modifying the magnificent story of this game.

Excellent immersive sim. Gameplay can be a little clunky given its age and mods are required to get the game running on modern hardware. But the story is engaging and the different approaches to each level (stealth, shooting, hacking, etc.) are what make this game great.

This game is so ahead of its time it even felt innovative when I played it in 2022. The game's story, world, and its approach to level design and combat make JC Denton really feel like a cybernetically enhanced version of the player. It feels so grand, yet the world is packed with so many small details. A must play!

alexa's backlog review #15 - Deus Ex - 7/10
RETIRED
This was clearly a very good game on release that innovated in many areas, but by current standards it has very little remaining novelty and is left to smoulder in mediocrity. It does a lot of things decently, like shooting, stealth, and branching story paths, but none of these excel anymore, given how much they've been outdone over the years, leaving the game unfortunately feeling generic, dull and dated. If I had less games with similar mechanics and ideas to play that were just better and more fun than Deus Ex I probably would have continued, but as it stands the game just doesn't hold up enough in design to the modern alternatives to be worth my time.

100%PC

I went into Deus Ex with huge expectations, and they were mostly fulfilled. The beginning of the game, up until the end of Hong Kong, Deus Ex is an absolutely perfect, unmatchable game - perhaps the best WRPG of the many I've played (although to be fair I have a serious commitment problem with finishing games). However, once you get near the end of the game, most of the momentum begins to slow down, and it isn't really until Area 51 that things start to pick up again. I still think Deus Ex is a must-play for any PC gamer or RPG fan, and I have very high expectations going into the rest of the series.
