    Playing Deus Ex:Mankind Divided. Good shit, even if it’s finally starting to show its age (weird mocap animations)

      It’s a great game. In some ways I might even prefer it to Human Revolution. Also, make sure you do the DLCs after. A Criminal Past is some of the best “new Deus Ex” they ever produced.

        The only problems with MD are its length and lack of followup, and how silly and on the nose the apartheid thing seems at first, but it’s a massive upgrade from HR otherwise. In a lot of ways that are subtle, but they matter. For example how the majority of enemies are just regular people (police, security guards, people in an anti-apartheid organisation), so kills really feel like they matter and you will seriously debate yourself if you should do it or not. HR had a lot of scary masked mooks

        I never played Criminal Past but I’ve heard a lot of good thjngs about it.
