Spoiler Free Final Review For Mankind Divided

[GordanFreeman23]

Well atfer 38 hours I have finished Mankind Divided and have to say...it was a good game.

The story was good and kept me wanting to find out more the whole time. The game was great looking, good lighting, fantastic tesslation and great all around. The augs were great just like Human Revolution, the experimental ones were a great addition to the game as well. The hacking mini-game was a nice redux, but I prefer Human Revolution hacking more. All the side missions were awesome and fun, except for the last two for which I was unable to complete due to a crash I was having (already pointed it out over on the Tech Support sub forum). There was a lot to see and explore and was interesting reading all the side stories there was to read about people.


But.....I felt like this game was rushed and didn't have a lot of time put into it. To me Human Revolution felt like a major step forward for the Deus Ex franchise, where as Mankind Divided seemed like a small step back.

Human Revolution had better immersion with the different open areas. Prague was very cool and detailed, as well as Golem City. But to me Detroit and Hengsha were way better places to do things in. Hengsha was so amazing to look at and it was very detailed.

The character models in Mankind Divided were good and detailed but the lipsync was off and the voice overs were okay but they could have been better. The takedown system seemed more fluid and faster in HR than Mankind Divided. The takedowns took a little longer than they should have and didn't look as cool like they did in HR.


As I said the game was good and I enjoyed every minute that I played. I think Eidos and Nixxes did a good job and I hope to see another game to tie in better to the Original Deus Ex game.

Final verdict: 8/10

You should do another play thru as you will see that different choices in dialog will give you different circumstances in the future. Also, In case you missed it, there is more than one ending. Spoiler dont read further if you done want to know. Save the Diplormats in London first then kill Marchenko.

seriously.. deus ex mankind is fantastic...the 9 it is getting everywhere but here, is more correct...awesome game....i think your gamed out...you are growning tired of playing them.

you are going to rate it on lip-sync...lmfao and then tell me about the character models looking great, in reality, the character models look dated but this games sounds,story,combat/stealth, etc is awesome to play thru. thats why it warrents a 9 or better in my book.

Not to mention the nodding dog syndrome and excess gesticulation...
