This is mechanically a better expression of the same ideas that made Human Revolution great. If it ain't broke don't fix it, so the saying goes - the Deus Ex formula is good, so let's stick with it. Mankind Divided takes basically every system and mechanic it offered, adjusting and tweaking it for maximum fun and to give players a broader range of opportunity. Human Revolution is a hell of a game, and a great modern take on the ideas behind the original classic. It's confident in how it approaches this conundrum and makes a compelling case: the formula is so good that they don't need anything new and shiny - they just need to carefully refine. This legacy provides a great gameplay template to follow but also sets significant precedents that the game must also adhere to, thus making it sometimes difficult for Mankind Divided to find new things to bring to the table. Its greatest strength is also a weakness: it has a strong legacy thanks to two important predecessors, the original groundbreaking Deus Ex and the franchise-reviving Human Revolution. How exactly do you marry those two concepts? Worse, how do you score it?ĭevelopment on Mankind Divided must have been difficult for its team on two key fronts.
It pushed its way into my heart early on but later on takes a few difficult, stumbling steps that are hard to ignore.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the hardest type of game to review.
