And at night the entire city lights up with neon signs everywhere, the game just oozes style out of every pore with its stylish blending of both Blade Runner future-noir settings. The stylized golden hues from Human Revolution has now been replaced with a much broader color pallet, giving the city and it’s characters it’s own unique feel. Mankind Divided is so big that there is even an underground Metro system just to help you get from point A to point B. Outside the world of Deus Ex feels alive with busy city street and people going about their lives unaware of the struggles that are going on behind the scenes. Almost every item in the game can be manipulated in some way. And an insane amount of detail in all of them from well-organized apartments to a un-kept pigsty. It does not happen often that I can say that I get immersed in a video games world, but the amazingly crafted world of Mankind Divided sucked me right in, with it’s amazing visually crafted futuristic settings of both Prague were 90% of the game takes place to places like Dubai, London, and Alaska to mention a few. There is an incredible amount of detail hidden away within almost every apartment or building with plenty of digital notes and newspapers to read, pick up or doors to hack and unlock. Which I can only describe as a Hollywood-style conspiracy thriller, with Adam working missions from more than one angle to get closer to the Illuminati and to the eventual truth. And this pretty much sets the stage for the rest of the game as Adam plays double agent for both Task Force 29 and the Juggernaut Collective. He also collaborates with the hacker group known as the Juggernaut Collective,who shares the same desire as Adam to take down the Illuminati who they believe are responsible for much of the suffering going on in the world of Deus Ex. Jensen joins them in the hope that he would be able to track and find the powerful organization known as the Illuminati. As I believe it compliments this review nicely.Īfter the collapse of Sarif Industries, Adam now works for Interpol’s Task Force 29 which deals with augmented terrorism. I won’t go too in-depth with the actual theme of the story as it is pretty much an entire review on its own but I have written a piece about it entitled: The mechanical apartheid of Deux go read it once you are done reading this review.
#DEUS EX MANKIND DIVIDED HACKING SERIES#
Deus Ex is a series that has always tackled themes like racism, apartheid, terrorism, transhumanism, conspiracy theories, you name it and never shied away from controversial topics.
This has segregated the world into two groups, the normal’s people without robotic augmentation and the augmented.Īugmented people are now treated as second-class citizens, as they are segregated and separated from normal people and sent to Golem City heights a slum for those augmented people who are viewed as being unfit to be part of normal society. It’s easy to spot the parallels between this “mechanical apartheid” and the apartheid experienced in South Africa pre 1994. The events that happened at the end of Human Revolution is now being referred to as the “The Aug Incident” were augmented people went on a rampage due to a virus infection killing millions of people. Now after a long 5 year hiatus Adam Jensen is back, and if you were worried that Eidos Montreal could not deliver on Human Revolution do not worry. Mankind Divided not only does the original justice, but it actually surpasses it in every way. Mankind Divided takes place two years after the events of Human Revolution. All the way back in 2011 Square Enix published Deus Ex: Human Revolution a new game in the long-running franchise to great fanfare and reception from gamer’s and reviewers.
