While there is some creativity here, and while it is certainly Deus Ex, this expansion felt a little too much like more of the same from Mankind Divided. The opening plays out just like most missions in the main story – arrive at a subway stop, explore a small but dense neighborhood block, experience a poorly thought out stand-in for racism, then break into a heavily fortified office building. The character dynamics between current series protagonist Jensen and Pritchard (a returning character from Human Revolution) are fun – it’s better for Jensen when he has a character with which he has a little history, and their spiky infolink back and forths are well-scripted. And at least the last two areas have some new ideas for the series in terms of managing Jensen’s heat signature and some Portal-inspired puzzles. Unfortunately, that’s all saved for the very end. I would have liked more fresh ideas throughout, especially in the flabby middle section in the offices.
