Human Revolution Director's Cut is the best choice for compromise between graphics and story.
Mankind Divided has the best looking and best tech, lots of cool cyberware, but you a) really need to play it after HR and b) it's really only 1/3 of a whole story. Thanks, Square Enix. But what -is- there is great fun.
So Human Revolution DC. Story is great, you can sneak everywhere or shoot or even -gasp- talk your way out of trouble. Have fun!
The watershed original is some of the most creative & stunningly subtle designwork ever implemented into an FPS RPG. It's also archaic, so that impact can be lost on newer blood who might not even realize what they're missing.
The prequel series is barely even cyberpunk in comparison to CP2077.
It's 'cybertech' at its core, and the setting might as well be modern Eastern Europe with some flashy signs.
Its artiness divides it sharply from the tone, themes, and ethos of cyberpunk.
The Deus Ex games are incredible. They have a good story and good character development.
Skip the original because even though it's an incredible game the graphics are too outdated, and it takes some work to get it running on a modern pc. So start with Deus Ex Human Revolution which is a really fun game with great replay value. A very good story with pretty good side missions.
When you finish that, you can play Deus Ex Mankind divided. It picks up and continues the story and will give you one heck of a ride.
Take advantage of the sale price and get the 2 mentioned deus ex games for only $7.50. You can't beat that.
Mandkind Divided though feels like a half of the game. Story is quite short and just ends. Also last time I checked had performance issues. Never replayed it.

The modern sequels for DE were everything I wanted in the experience today until I played Cyberpunk 2077, but currently I'm torn. CP2077 has great fluid gun play and facial animations and Deus Ex is janky. CP2077 is everything I wanted the modern DE to be, however, DE is not Far Cry with cybernetics, but a stealth shooter; as someone above claimed, like the original Thief. Although DE claims you can go guns blazing that really isn't true. That said, I never felt there were any game play imbalances with combat or challenge. OTOH, I find CP2077 wildly imbalanced and I'm getting used to that.
PS I should add that I prefer stealth anyway, it's just that when you do enter gun combat I felt it was very ... unnatural feeling whereas CP2077 is frantic and intense and fun. I think many DE players prefer to quietly achieve their goals wo ever being detected or by taking out enemies one at a time from the shadows. When that fails though, it's just - to me - an unsatisfying gun play experience. I played CP2077 the same way, but when I blew my cover, or had missions where combat was unavoidable, I had intense gun battles that were incredibly fun.
(Like, bear in mind DE1 was more concurrent with Half Life 1... its pretty old.)
DE2 was very "consolified" (literally), but the overall story was ."ok".
DE:HR was a huge technical improvement over the previous ones, but the story was not as "full" as DE1 in my opinion. (Still worth it though.)
Some years later, thousands of people start to shill about the company "finally" adding plain white sugar on top of the peanut butter crackers, dispatching most of the plastic pieces, and putting television on how swedish tables are prepared in reality next to those tables full with crackers, thus sending a strong message that this is indeed what was promised back in the day.
This is exactly what it means to compare Deus Ex to Cyberskunk 2077
Meh......you are comparing Dues Ex to the pre-launch Cyberpunk game. What about comparing Dues Ex to Cyberpunk 2077 that it is now. I get that you are still disgruntled about the game ( CP 2077 ) that was released. But anybody who has not played either game would want to know what they would be getting NOW if they went out and purchased either game and played it.
Deus Ex is literal perfection in capturing the true core what is cyberpunk - singularity of man and machine. Perfected with amazing story, characters and decisions, with troubled protagonist, namely JC Denton and Adam Jensen, who are just rogue tools in illusionary world.
For me, when it comes to cyberpunk work there is no better than Deus Ex. From the first momement I turned the game on, I was hooked.
Multiple ways to play, a wicked story and a whole lot of things that looking back, were nothing less than predictions of the future.
The others though, IMO it was a downward slide that has most likely ended the franchise.
If we're talking modern DE vs CP i would choose CP every time.
