Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Always buy this game on sale if you are going to buy it, never at full price. Game is really the definition of mid. does really good in some areas but then falls on its face in many areas. Supposedly the second game in the idea of a trilogy, this games intentions are to set up the sequel that never came out. Game-play is fun though, no complaints on that end.

Turned off all the hud stuff so I'd be constantly lost, which is how i prefer my deus ex experience. Super fun game

Almost a decade later, yet this game is still amazing. It's a shame both SE and now EG have nothing but deny fans of this series for an absurd amount of time.

This version of the game is still very buggy and some levels will simply not load if you have MSAA turned on. If you're doing both a pacifist or FoH, having the achievement tracker is a must, since there are a lot of places that trigger a silent alarm and never even bother to inform you.

Extremely polished game on 2025 (to the point that I can't believe this game is from 2017) I liked this a bit more than Cyberpunk 2077 & Starfield those games are awesome, but this one is far more enjoyable, the trick? "immersion" this is the game that has been the closest to what I look for in terms of exploration/hacking/stealth/storytelling/multiple ways of completing things.

- Tip1: You don't need to play the other games
- Tip2: Explore, everywhere you go you will find something
- Tip3: The bank has a parking lot and the parking lot a hidden place that is simple/small yet awesome discovery

I remember having fun breaking into apartments and stealth killing people. I remember playing cyberpunk and then remembering this game more fun. Now this franchise dead and on sale for 5 bucks. My poor deus ex on display like cheap wh0re while that bastard cyberpunk strutting around at 60 :'(

Most important part of the game is pressing f5. (if u play non-lethal)

Disliked going back and forth for the side missions time to time.

Liked graphics, skill types, environment. If u like to sneak around , do your thing , i would say after 5-6hours of playing you understand what you can and cant do.

Non lethal scenario is cool , tho i encourage you to check some videos before you go in for last boss , after 15 min struggle i was surprised on the results :d

Imo well spent 20h
As for price if u get it on discount , def would recommend.

Game itself is fun, port is awful, i spent more time tinkering with settings and reading PCGamingWiki than i did actually playing the game.

60 FPS feels like 30 FPS, higher frame rates feel decent-ish but are unstable frame times, even if i drop down to 1280x720 the game struggles to hold over 100 FPS for seemingly no reason.
There is constant mouse lag and weird graphical issues such as puddles cutting off about 5 meters from the player and the only anti aliasing options being MSAA that kills FPS even more or TAA that blurs way more than other games.
The game also crashed early on forcing me to replay an entire section that i already beat with no auto save nor option of saving due to the crash happening during a cutscene.

Will more than likely never get fixed, shame too, the stealth combat was actually really really good and the 1 moral choice i got to was decent.

Not a bad followup to the smash hit that was Human Revolution, however, the main story was ENTIRELY too short. Deus Ex needs an open world game.

I found this game searching "cyberpunk genre" , I just completed the main story and I can say it's very cool ! I also have Cyberpunk 2077 and it's like a precursor using the best technology available at the time. The result is fantastic and the graphic is still fantastic now (2025) . I hope in a sequel.

extremely immersive world. the gameplay is very "catburgler" style which appeals to me, finding ways around obstacles, etc. good story, much better than the previous deus ex.

Great game but it crashes fairly often when run on more than 8 cores.

One of my all-time favorite games. Criminally underrated. I feel sorry for the developers that they created this absolute gem of a game and it wasn't widely recognised. The Prague hub world is probably my favorite location in any game ever - it's just a beautiful immersive world full of hidden areas and secrets to explore.

Feels like they split a game into 2-3 pieces, but you only get that first piece. Gameplay is 10/10, but story falls flat and ends exactly when it feels like its about to ramp up. Amazing game though, shame we will never see where the story was leading up to.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided took what Human Revolution did and improved on it immensely. The level design and environmental story telling are some of the best all around and graphics look freaking incredible for a almost 10 year old game. However, it is definitely in need of a remaster or an update to fix some of its numerous graphical and technical bugs. Only negatives is that the game was too short for its own good and that the progression is a tad bit slow. With its exhilarating story and plot, it's shame that it will never get the sequel that it truly deserves.

9/10

BRILLIANT GAME... but a bit gutted to an extent by its rushed ending.

Nonetheless, this is still worth your time if you know what kind of game you're getting yourself into.
Human Revolution still has the superior ending and core message, but I think Mankind Divided comes close enough and even improves the gameplay a ton.

I guess we don't live in an ideal world after all, and, with that, there comes the acceptance that we might never get a proper follow-up to these two games... and, all things considered, maybe that's alright.

Excellent game that just kinda ends. It has a beginning, a middle, and the end (with a boss fight and everything), and the run-time is fairly decent, especially when you factor in side quests, but it's clear this game was setting up a sequel. A sequel that might never see the light of day.

More augments, more tools, more guns, more side-quests, great story and characterization. You owe yourself to play through these games (HR and MD).

Eidos, I hope you get to make the third game some day!

The graphics and gameplay are so much better than HR. And thank the gods for mods.

Thing is....the story gets BORING! Getting nowhere and all over the place! The stealth mechanics become tedious.

This game runs surprisingly well on steam deck, and it's really fun to play. it's a deus ex game, definetly not one i'd recommend to start off with, especially since it starts with the events of the last game (human revolution), and it's also the game with the worst story from all of them, however it's still a very good game

good game. mechanically better than human revolution. feels like devs were in rush, world feels a bit empty, but still good enjoyable game

The worst part is finishing this game knowing you're never going to play a game like this again.
Should be a crime for this much talent to stop making such games, and more importantly for Adam Jensen to disappear into the ether :'[

It's very pretty and fun. It might not be the best immersive sim or Deus Ex game, and it's a bummer that they won't get to finish their story, but it's cool. So much outdated tie in to second screen experiences.

This game is awesome, it is Cyberpunk 2077 before Cyberpunk 2077. I love it but given how the sequel was cancelled and it ends on a cliffhanger I can see many getting really annoyed over it.

Ahhh, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided! A glorious techno-noir playground of shadows, sunglasses, and more cybernetic implants than Beast Man has brain cells! This is what happens when you give a spy too many gadgets, a trench coat, and unresolved philosophical angst. And you know what? I liked it!

Let’s start with the obvious: the aesthetics are deliciously dystopian. Prague never looked so moody, so metallic, so ready to collapse into complete chaos! Wandering its rain-soaked alleys made me feel right at home. If Castle Grayskull had more LED panels and biometric scanners, it would look exactly like this place!

The graphics, for their time, were impressive—full of little details and shiny robot limbs. Everyone in the future apparently wears leather, even when grocery shopping. And the music? Oh, the music! Haunting, synth-heavy, and perfect for brooding on a rooftop while pretending you're deeper than you actually are. Which I do. Often.

Now, let's talk about gameplay. Ah yes, the varied mission paths! Sneak through vents like a metal raccoon, hack your way past every locked door, or just barge in and punch everyone in the face with your retractable robo-fists. It’s all viable! The game says, “Do whatever you want, you beautiful augmented disaster,” and I respect that.

But… alas!

The story—oh, the story! Bland! Predictable! I could see the plot twists coming from the Eye of Eternia! It felt like reading a conspiracy theory pamphlet written by a toaster. “Aug discrimination! Secret organizations! Maybe the Illuminati, maybe just a cranky old man in a chair!” Yes, yes, very serious. But where’s the drama? Where’s the betrayal that makes me yell “NOOOOOOOO!” in theatrical villain agony? Bah! I expect more from a game where half the cast has Bluetooth in their skulls!

Still, credit where it's due. The easter eggs and side challenges are delightful. Secret rooms, ridiculous hidden content, and clever nods galore! It’s as if the devs knew players like me—evil geniuses with far too much time—would hunt every pixel for hidden nonsense. I found a vent that led to a guy who rants about toast. That alone deserves a skull.

Final Verdict: 💀💀💀💀⬜
An atmospheric, stylish, choice-driven spy fantasy with punchy arms and cooler coats than He-Man could ever pull off. It may fall short in storytelling, but its depth, ambiance, and variety make it well worth your time.

And now, I vanish into the shadows like a cybernetic ninja-philosopher... but remember this, mortals: I never asked for this! NYEHHH!

Although the story is rightfully criticised, the game more than makes up for it with gameplay. It is one of the best immersive sims I've ever played.

Good for scratching that Cyberpunk itch if you fancy a change of scenery from Night City.

Beautyfull game. It is quite short and has some technical issues, but it's absolutelly wort spending time on it.

Main game is an alright continuation from Human Revolution, while the DLC A Criminal Past is really great. If you don't know if you have much time to play the whole game, give the DLC's a try as they are standalone.

I don't even know where to start with this game... between the unstable glitchiness to the generic cliche plot and abrupt ending, i can not recommended this game...

This game hard crashed my PC 6 times, after doing research i found running it in DX11 and locking the frame rate at 120hz made it playable but it still had several soft crashes.
The game has bad collision detection i was constantly getting hung up curbs, ledges and vent openings.
The menus and item switching was also very slow and glitchy, sometimes the menu would pop up randomly and wouldnt exit, i found that hitting the menu key and then esc got that to stop.
I also had an issue where the sprint would get stuck on and i had sprint again to stop it.

Now about the story.. unlike the 2nd Deus Ex game where the devs decided to integrate all the endings from the first game the devs of MD decided to just do whatever they wanted, Jensen wakes up 2 years later after being fished out of the ocean, doesn't question anything and then decides to be an Interpol agent. you spend the next 20-30 hours playing detective simulator in a town full of Nazis mostly doing side quests with some Deus Ex references sprinkled in.

This is a pretty good game, it is well designed and setups a very compelling history into a cyber-punk universe. Excellent stealth game to play nowadays. Unhappily, a sequel is still missing for this game.

The game doesn't feel nearly as smooth to play as Human Revolution. Weapon models are very big and block much of your screen, while the movement system lacks inertia, making exploration very stiff and snappy feeling. Sometimes I also felt like there were *too many* ways to reach certain locations, to the point where putting points into hacking (for example) felt wasteful because there was often a free ventilation shaft nearby.

Lastly, the story and tone failed to grab me the way HR did. These were my biggest gripes with Mankind Divided. However, it's still a good game that overall stays true to the Deus Ex formula, and is worth a playthrough. The core of the game is great, and the combat is more expressive than before thanks to new augmentations.

I just keep coming back to this game. Yes, it's single player only. Yes, the main plot is basically linear. Yes, it's the same world every, single, time. But the variety of play and interactions that are possible with each of those things according to how you build your augments keeps it alive. Having finished it multiple times on Xbox, now running it on PC for the first time and it's just as good.

Very detailed world. This game is very good at telling stories through the environment.
You will find many secrets, even the intro in Ruzicka Station also has characters related to the bombing and the story. You can find them in the background.
The opening sequence and cutscene of this game are very cinematic, and they will definitely immerse you in the world.
The soundtrack is really awesome. I think it is even better than the Human Revolution one.
I want the sequel right now.
Give me Deus Ex!!!

The most engaging stealth game besides splinter cell. They really nailed the music and atmosphere for both human revolution and Mankind Divided. The act of physically playing and living through the experience is just something you have to do. Now if only they make a sequel and conclude Jensen's Story and also clear doubts whether Jensen is a clone or not and is if yes then is he the sleeper cell to trap Janus!

At first I was very dissatisfied with performance but looking on the internet I found the culprit and upon disactivation the game ran smoothly.

The game is story rich, has many paths to complete missions, has cool mechanics. Guns lack a little umph but notting mayor against it. It's a great game.

One of the most enjoyable immersive sims ever made, this story-rich sci-fi titan of a trilogy was cut down in its prime and never given the final game it deserved, but damn if it doesn't go down swinging. I first played this nine years ago and I'm still discovering new secrets in its story to this day. Prague is a joy to explore, what it lacks in total size it makes up for in rich density and storytelling. You'll need to play Human Revolution to have any hope of understanding what's going on, but once you have you're in for a hell of a ride.

Good sequel that was somewhat botched by the developers at the end, but it still definitely a must-play is you enjoyed Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Game crashed more than I died on "Give me Deus EX" difficulty playing on an almost brand new gaming computer. Games not long enough compared to the last one, but it would still be fun IF it didn't crash so often. I got about 80% of the way just replaying parts through crashes, but I've had enough. Finishing the story isn't worth dealing with it, and I'm honestly getting pretty sick of how commonplace this is in steam gaming. It's hard to say how many crashes are individual game's fault and how many are because steam forces you to run games through their platform even after you download them onto your drive and then the sync gets messed up, but to me it seems like a highly unnecessary second operation running in the background. They want triple A money for almost every new title and near full price for 5+ year old games, but they are actually selling are a bunch of broken half finished games. Unethical at best, but the fact that it's been an across the board issue for years now with zero improvements that I've noticed tells me its a lot worse than just unethical. It's greed and they clearly don't care. I would be far too ashamed to put my name on something like this and try to sell it as a finished product.

Just finished the story, I'd say it's a solid 8/10 game, extremely gutted about the cancelation of the sequel, this game deserved it.

In short : An masterpiece of an action/stealth FPS, still worth it in 2025. Surpassing all modern games in many aspects (environments, scenario, versatility of gameplay and multiple choices to complete the missions)

In detail : This is the first time I played a Deus Ex game, and I was astonished. There are many ways to play the game (I chose stealth for both playthroughs and I liked it). The environments are gorgeous and complex (my god Golem city surpasses even Night City in term of environment design. It has an amazing Akira vibe that gave me the chills). The NPCs in the cities are alive like in no other game, with many little scenes that makes the world very alive, I was baffled. The scenario is pretty dark and the side missions are impactful and cleverly written. There are dozens of way to complete each mission, so the replay value is definitely there.

As it was my first time playing a Deus EX game, it took some time for me to adapt and understand the philosophy of the game, as it is quite unique. As such, I would advise for a newcomer to the serie to start their first playthrough in Normal difficulty.

Conclusion : A true work of art and passion, kudos to the developpers, writters, artists, and everyone involved.

PS : Very sad of all the hate the game got in the Steam reviews, even if I understand the reasons. But only the publisher is to blame, so it is trully saddening for the developpers who clearly put their soul into this life changing experience.

They put a cash shop in a single player game that died several years ago. They don't like the idea of free will or freedom like the original Deus Ex. I don't think I will ever see another game like it ever again that gave the player that much agency to do whatever they want. The story was dumb as hell and i hated every plot point.

I basically played this to get some sort of extension from HR but it wasn't even as good as HR was with no real story ties at all. The OG Deus Ex, which is 25 years old now, still is the best Deus Ex and HR is like a quarter of it's greatness (if that) with MD being little more than a sad afterthought.

As a massive fan of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, this game was an exceptional sequel to the events following. At the same time, it delivers the same experience for new players to the series. As a fan of the Dishonored series as well, these types of games are a dying breed. For me, the make or break for a good game is the replayability. Options for both routes, approaches (via. stealth and lethal), and significant decision making are the characteristics such. Though your decisions do not have much of an impact beyond dialogue options, this is made up in the multiple different approaches that can be made to EVERY mission, optional or main. If you enjoy philosophical endeavors into the themes and morality of transhumanism through a complex platform of both combat and stealth mechanics, this game is an absolute must play.

It's a great game in its own right but riddled with tons of bugs even if you have a high end system.

Just turn off MXAA or any AA, and don't use DX12.

The story compared to the original is a bit lacking but still good. The dialog can be a bit too much as in terms of so much talking, and there are very hard choices you have to make compared to the first one, which will decided how the story plays out. The political treatment of Augs and the world itself feels oddly familiar in today's times.

You also have access to more augmentations/skills than the first game. With more abilities, you have more options to plan your missions.

The setting is also really nice and looks alive, but the way they segmented the 2 hub maps is annoying. The only way is to use the metro/train. This can be especially annoying for quests/side quests that involve going to 1 map to the other.

The stealth system has been revamped and is more intuitive. You can see and plan your stealth run routes and there's multiple ways or paths to take on a quest. The hacking mini-game is still the same but I would say harder until you get the upgrades, compared to the first one.

There's also a micro-transaction system that was implemented but I never used and you should never use either. You can pay for more upgrades and thats it. It's pretty worthless since you can get an immediate 12 upgrade points once you start the game in your apartment storage locker.

Either way, this game was pretty good with some flaws. I hope they make a Deus Ex 3 and see where Jensen goes.

The story was a bit short and felt like more of a build up to a third game that never came unfortunately, but the game is a worthy sequel to the critically acclaimed Human Revolution, it's worth the playthrough as the gameplay is pretty fun especially stealth, and the RPG elements while limited, provide an immersive experience of Aug-Apartheid Prague.

Amazing story line and also the graphics are pretty neat. It feels very immersive and the OST that are developed for the game also sound pretty nice. I'd say that I feel sad that the "Secret Project Deus Ex" was discontinued because the mother company of the developer's studio said so. Deus Ex is an amazing game and the story line feel realistic. It now takes place among my all time favorite games like Half Life.

Really good so far. A little sad it's different from the previous game.

This is a pretty good game. It leans heavily into its stealth mechanics while on missions and while im not used to playing stealth shooters (having played Destiny and Warframe) i learned to adapt. Id reccomend researching your energy consumption and battery life and the Icarus fall stuff, helps a ton.

It's a great action role-playing game with first-person shooter and stealth mechanics with beautiful world design, personally, I don't think it quite reaches the heights of HR but it's still a phenomenal game. I grew up playing HR so I'm incredibly bias.

Gorgeous futuristic game from the environment to the characters. Visually impressive and fun to play.

I didn't ask for this, but I would.

Played all things Deus Ex and it is criminal that we aren't getting anymore anytime soon.

Embracer Group cancelled the in-development deus ex game after they bought the devstudio from Square Enix.
Sadge

The sequel isn't quite as mind-blowing as the first, yet it still stands a worthy successor. There are unfortunately certain sections where it gets repetitive. Don't expect it to make you feel the same way that Human revolution did, but it's almost there. Still a must-play for anyone who played Human Revolution or looking for a good stealth action game. I played this 7 years ago, and sadly it isn't as memorable as Human Revolution but is still a pretty good game.
