The level design and gameplay of Mankind Divided is leaps and bounds ahead of Human Revolution, but it's the story that lets it down. Discounting the fact the game is essentially only half of the whole planned story, it's thoughtless use of BLM imagery and it's less coherent yet somehow more straight forward conspiracy tale pales in comparison to the plot and themes from just one game ago. It's still a titan of the immersive sim genre, but if Square Enix Europe had gotten their act together it could've been so much more.
