The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. The Game of the Year edition contains the latest game updates and a software development kit, a separate soundtrack CD, and a page from a fictional newspaper featured prominently in Deus Ex titled The Midnight Sun, which recounts recent events in the game's world.

I think I'm at the age where I just cannot retain heavy information. I love old games and genre-defining experiences, but I started Deus Ex at an unfortunate time when the game felt overwhelming and grinding. I hope to experience it again later on.
I enojoyed the little I played, will return when i have more freetime.
Deus Ex is a game way ahead of its time, with visions about the future that sadly nowadays make sense (at least some of them), from human-made diseases to economic imbalance. Between conspiracies and organizations that thirst for power, JC has to fight for what he thinks is right. In this timeline, human flesh and machinery can be as one (like a cyborg), and minds can merge with AIs. Who knows, maybe in 2052 we might reach that point. Only time can tell, and maybe we aren't that far from it.
This game is truly amazing, and the immersion is insane. Weirdly, it had a few frame drops, but nothing that affected the gameplay that much. The upgrades, augmentations, skills, and items are vast, you can even smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol just because! You have side missions and choices to make, and you'll end up choosing your side.
The real question is, how far can we go to get freedom? Or is humanity meant to be controlled?

Still, 24 years after release it remains the most influential and important both immersive sim and political cyberpunk thriller. The world is so quintessentially 90s and it feels like the time it was released in but still so relevant to today. The environment isn't flashy, the mundane everyday objects are still, mundane everyday objects which make the science fiction elements of the game stand out so much more.
Fantastic game all around, I recommend it now and forever. Timeless

While im dissapointed that theres only one path you can take storywise, Deus Ex remains a juggernaut of a simulation game. stealthy or guns blazing, whats it going to be denton?~
I'm different now.
