When you sit back and really take in the ambience of Raccoon City, you can really sense the true depression and misery this city is suffering from. The unrelenting cries from the undead, the strong winds, the crows (likely infected) restless calls. The chaos and destruction that this awful virus has caused is unbelievable. This ambience amalgamated with the detailed scenery really kept you as the player constantly unnerved with fear and paranoia of what could occur at any moment. A true horror masterpiece and my personal favourite.

THE REMAKE COULD NEVER.

TOUCH ME. FEEL ME. HIT ME. HELP ME.

a world that’s dominated by kink and run by perverts, trying to figure out traumatic desires in the middle of suburbia hell, violence against human rendered so vivid it turns into a cyclic nightmare. as gorgeous and as entrancing as the first time i ever saw it. this is it, it’s dark now

"you're among wolves now... And these are our woods"

Holy shit this so fucking badass!

2021

The soviet-era gigantic sculptures, brutalist buildings, and the world constituted of bleak low-poly and low-res textures, set in
1986 Czechoslovakia, seamlessly merging soviet bleakness with the otherworldly nightmarish feel of Quake .

literally GONCHAROV.

hollllly fvckin shitttt. this game is raw af.

it rains a lot in this game

I’m glad I chose the right ending, I just can’t lose Roman.

It's not about Raytracing, its about this. THIS PARTICULAR VIBE.
While a game like Cyberpunk 2077 creates its world to surprise and bombard you with things you have not seen before, Deus Ex's toolbox is much more limited. Its main colours are black and gold, it. It's dark, dingy, grimy and seedy. You live between these quiet moments of looking at a puddle of water or observing the alley from 2nd Floor. Its a tech noir.
But when it comes to the gameplay and level design, Deus Ex is so much better. The impact of the augments are a lot more visible and substantial, the gameplay is much more fluid and Adam has been contextualized in this dystopia perfectly.
Its not perfect. Its funny how the NPCs know about all your activities. The construction of the buildings, the fashion of the people is a little more fantastical and less grounded. This game has a world wide news caster wearing Elizabethian collar, and a black lingerie top with lace stockings with high heeled boots. xD
We need a new Deus Ex game in this gen with the gameplay and level design of the newer games and the world building of the first one. Maybe with a more interactable and bigger world while still maintaining the hub structure.

And... oh, I got to tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details

the design is very german, sir
