When Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was first announced I'll be honest, I didn't really bat an eyelid at it partly due to the fact that I didn't really play the first game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. So like F1 2016, it came as a bit of a "eh, why not situation" when I decided to buy Mankind Divided and boy, am I glad that I bought it. So, what is the story about? Well, it centres around everybody's favourite gravelly voiced augmented human Adam Jensen as he tries to uncover the reason behind an influx of terrorist attacks and how he received some mystery augments that he never realised he had. The story reflects some modern day worries like terrorism and discrimination very effectively with one scene in the opening act almost reducing me to tears. So, how does the gameplay stand up against other first person shooters out there? The answer is that the shooting feels good and each gun feels very nicely weighted and realised however, in the early stages of the game there seems to be a lack of assault rifle ammunition which bothers me due to the assault rifle being one of my preferred weapons in FPS games so that was slightly frustrating. The stealth elements of the game are nicely done however I don't really know how doing takedowns saps your biocell meter due to it not requiring you to really use any augments. The side missions are also pretty intriguing and don't feel like filler at all instead they feel like they add to the bustling hub world of Prague and also add to the narrative. All in all, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided feels pretty fresh in a world where most FPS's are more or less the same thing repeated over and over again and I can't wait to review the whole thing when I complete it.
