The original Deus Ex is one of my favorite games of all time, like top 3 for sure. I heard of the PS2 port being drastically different from the PC port and that got me very interested in the game. So you can imagine my happiness finding the game on the PAL PSN shop (I have an account for PAL regions and JP regions to play games that aren't on the US store)

I ended up buying it and god damn it is very impressive. There's a lot of tiny differences that make it very unique for a person very much acquainted with the PC port. This port has a handful of issues that are mainly technical related. Such as the framerate dipping constantly. However, the game is still entirely beatable.

I like small things like the UI differences and the character models being different. The game looks a lot darker too which, I oddly enjoy? It definitely isn't better than the PC port but it's still worth checking out!
