These aren’t without purpose, so keep an eye out for them and I highly recommend you pay attention to finishing them. Similar to Human Revolution, a person may ask you to help them find an item, a friend, an enemy, or something else along those lines. They change the game completely and help form a unique experience that each of us will have. Like any Deus Ex title, there are no shortage of side missions that force you to make hard decisions and it’s what makes every Deus Ex game great. The supporting cast of characters really did a fantastic job of driving this feeling home even when they were being a friend, you could feel Jensen’s loneliness. There was a tangible sense of distrust early on that made it hard not to feel like Jensen was alone. Even though there were side characters to build the story around you, I didn’t have the same relationship with these new people. Unlike Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I didn’t feel like I had friends in my ear like Frank Pritchard and Faridah. Each location had me go, “W ow, this is Deus Ex.” It was truly breathtaking to see how the Dawn Engine could change how I saw Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.Įven as each location furthers the central plot and brings more things to light for Jensen, the game made me feel isolated and alone. With the way the stage was set by the music and atmosphere in each location, I knew this game was, yet again, going to be a masterpiece. Golem City, for instance, sets a very dark and sombre tone of helplessness I was met with aggression, and discrimination.īut I have to take a moment to acknowledge the art and music design here as well, because it could not have been any better. When traveling to these locations, I felt that the team at Eidos Montreal truly captured what it feels to be in an Aug’s shoes and the brutality of their world. Through the main story missions, you’ll travel to new and beautifully designed parts of the world, like the aforementioned Prague or Golem City, which I’ll focus on here as I don’t want to spoil a thing. It will, of course, have you guessing about what’s real, who to trust, and “Should I do this mission/side quest?” the whole damn time. In Mankind Divided, Jensen’s goal is to unravel a global conspiracy introduced quite early in the game. This is what I love about Deus Ex: you could walk anywhere in the game and be met with a story whether through eavesdropping on people talking about current events or yourself. Walking through the chaos of the floor, I overheard an agent embedded in an Aug terrorist group and witnessed the tense situation as it reached its grim end. It felt like home, except it wasn’t the same yellow and grey contrast. After an incident in Prague, Jensen, now an agent for Interpol as part an anti-terror group fighting Aug terrorists known as Task Force 29, finds himself back at the front line of the actionĪfter joining TF29 I was immediately thrown back to my feelings of being in Detroit. Jensen, as we know from our experience in Human Revolution, is attracted to trouble. This is our where our boy Jensen comes in. People are now afraid of Augs more than ever, with tensions at an all-time high and seemingly at the breaking point. Thanks to Jensen’s quick actions, a kill switch was activated before the world could fall into total chaos. I wanted to see what was summed up for newcomers and I wasn’t disappointed it was fantastic!ĭeus Ex: Mankind Divided takes place two years after the Aug Incident of 2027, when augmented people were unwillingly driven to violent killing sprees via a biochip created by the Illuminati. Now with a terrorist attack seemingly committed by Augs, Jensen is thrown back into the fray of a gripping worldwide conspiracy.įor those of you who missed Deux Ex: Human Revolution, don’t worry: the game begins with the option to enjoy a quick twelve-minute summary of the previous game.
He’s grown into the role of an experienced covert operative living in Europe. No stranger to worldwide conspiracies, Adam Jensen - as much as he didn’t ask for them - is no longer the head of security at the defunct Sarif Industries.
The stage is set for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. With the world gripping their triggers closely, the United Nations is looking for ways to stop the violence and end the tension when all hell breaks loose. Outcasts in a world that once embraced the scientific renaissance they represented, augmented people are now met with disgust and bigotry - or worse, beaten in the streets and sometimes killed for who they are. The world has changed, the people have changed. Two years have passed since Deus Ex: Human Revolution‘s Aug Incident at Panchaea.
