This is an overall cool game and a very important one in video game history but it is unlikely to feel like Jesus Christ himself descended to deliver this adventure despite what the usual nostalgia battalion says.
Story wise it is decent and maybe doesn’t hit as hard now with how saturated many of the topics it covers now are. It is definitely a product of its time but can still have some unique worthwhile moments. Most characters are pretty bland and forgettable if not a bit of a meme but they’re not really the focus. The big draw is choices in how you approach things and how npcs react to what you have done in the world space. You can miss certain characters entirely, kill many of them off and the game will hold together. If you’re expecting some mind-blowing weave here by modern standards you might be a bit disappointed but for it’s time I can see why it was praised.
Gameplay is going to be pain point for many players who are not used to some old school jank. Weapons in general feel pretty floaty and not very satisfying to use. Now many fans will immediately cry out “guns should never be the focus in deus ex” but for players who wish to use them it is important to note. Melee weapons feel like they don’t hit what you think they should be hitting and can lead to many of them coming across as unresponsive but not a dealbreaker. Gadgets and grenades are also at your disposal and those feel fine enough aside from you have the most weenie hut jr arm. The actual act of exploring all the different avenues around each of the maps to approach your objectives is the real draw of the gameplay, however. Guns blazing, creeping through vents, going under to the sewer, stealthing in the open shadows, its all available to you. Levels can be a little bit of a pain to navigate because everything looks very samey but you should be able to get through it without too much trouble. AI is very basic and won’t be difficult to outsmart. Lastly, dialogue will change slightly if you kill rather than use non lethal approaches but don’t worry because it has to real affect on the story.
Visually it’s…. an old ass game. Characters are low poly, environments are very empty looking, lighting is bad, cityscapes are low res, and the actual area buildings are like 1/10th the size they should be (almost like you’re playing on a tableset). But if you don’t mind the usual late 90s early 2000s games look you have nothing to worry about.
Technically it has some problems. You are going to want to at bare minimum use the alternate launcher from kentie to add some modern options. I had some initial problems with certain renders that had to be sorted out but never quite got it to work flawless. The biggest issue I ran into was audio bugs. Constant audio glitches and distortion/cracking that got worse as I got further into the game. They would resolve on game restart but then reappear within minutes. Also you need to rebind some of the keys because the default layout is terrible.
This is one of those games from that era that is instrumental in how video games developed from then on and it is important to recognize and respect that. However, it clearly falls behind compared to modern renditions in many areas and that’s okay. This does not need to be mindlessly propped up as a depression inducing ride that will destroy your want to play any other games. That kind of discourse is so hyperbolic and ridiculous. This is an oldschool game that has a lot of charm and is absolutely worth experiencing despite the jank, just don’t go in expecting the key to life being presented to you by the end.
Played and finished this game quite a while ago. Great game if you like immersive sims.
Feels a bit outdated, low resolution,
had a few issues with the controls.
Its playable though,
probably only interesting to people who played it back when it came out.
Luckily the rest of the series is great modern cyberpunk RPG fun.
game is based. the GEP gun is truly the best way to do a silent takedown
I used to spend the early 2000's firing my GEP at the pigeons on Liberty Island. I've beat the whole thing now and the fun factor hasn't diminished a bit.
I hate when game becomes reality with politics
It is an older game but has a great story line allowing for many alternative paths of discovery.
I haven't done much yet, but I already adore this game. I don't think anyone in my friend group would take the time to set this game up, but there's just one person I know who would probably do it with me. I might add more to this review the more I play the game
8/10 Awesome !!
Good story, cool characters (JC mah man) and nice gameplay.
WHAT A SHAME we don't see more of deus ex in recent years
best game ever, best level design i've seen, and the benchmark which I still judge other games by. cyberpunk 2077 is a boomer shooter compared to this game (no offense to boomer shooters)
One of, if not, the greatest game ever made. It hits its trade in all categories, and the story is a modern day mythology with elements that are more relevant than ever. Shit, it predicted 9/11 and the aftermath of such an attack. There really is no other game like this.
P.S. use Deus Exe for a quick and easy fix on widescreen support, at least that's what I used (Prior, the revision mod, which is on Steam, I just disabled all HD models, yet there were some things gameplay wise changed, so only do that if you're a lazy bum like the ones in Battery Park.)
Incredible how well this game has held up over time. It's not a game, it's a prophecy.

Deus Ex is not without its problems but definitely earns its place among the classics. Some really iconic moments present for sure in both the gameplay and narrative. For those looking to buy, Kentie's Launcher is a requirement. And I played the whole game (vanilla, no mods) on Linux with no issues, and played through it in 23 hours at a leisurely pace.
The bad:
Takes a while to really learn the gameplay and get going.
Skills are insanely unbalanced (Medical and Swimming skills for instance, are useless in the second half)
Many augmentations offer no practical advantage and are irreversible once committed to a slot.
Combat is really janky, to the point the outcome is a roll of the dice at times
Boss fights are also janky by extension, but have some fun mechanics, especially the Simons fight.
No replayability really. At least not for my level of patience.
The good:
The story is highly engaging, like a very good novel. This is where the artistry of the game really shines. The writers here did their homework on information tech and geopolitics.
The environments are atmospheric and cool, especially urban settings like Hell's Kitchen and Hong Kong. The ancient graphics make it even better in a nostalgic sort of way.
You have complete control in choosing how to handle a situation with a litany of branching paths.
The combat is really extremely fun once it "clicks"
The story adapts to the choices you make, with decisions cascading into consequences down the line
The music kicks absolute ass. Personal favorite being the drum n' bass combat track in area 51.
Overall: do yourself a favor and play it once if you're even vaguely interested in stealth shooters.
mhmmm yes i heart emoji ancient video games mmmm its so so good the level design is fantastic and there's so mamy ways to approach each mission and aaaaaaha i love the janky combat thank you so much its actually so peak
This is my favorite game of all time and the dystopian reality it enumerates is becoming more and more real every day nearly 25 years later.
Oh, and did I mention Elon Musk basically used it as a blueprint for global takeover?
I feel like 'game of the year' isn't quite strong enough of a descriptor
This is my new number 1 game I have ever played. Deus ex has one of the greatest stories in a video game and also great gameplay, this game does need some modding to help the game run but you can beat the game without modding it, because my first run of the game i had no mods on the game so you dont need to mod it, but I would still say that you should get a few mods to help it run well. I have one last thing to say why is this not overwhelmingly positive. this is one of the greatest video games ever. now, very positive is really good but I think it should get a overwhelmingly positive.
simply in a league of its own Dues Ex is one of the greatest of all time.
this game caused me to unintentionally make over 100 screenshots
10/10
"This crackdown is the work of Majestic 12."
"You mean the European Union."
"They are a group of conspirators who have been seizing governments all over the world."
"I don't care what they call themselves. I have seen it since I was a girl, the plotting and scheming of corporations to make Europe into one big country with no separate languages, cultures, or tastes."
GODLY GAME!
My favorite PC game of all time! Thank you Eidos and Warren Spector👍
it good. but tech/engine issues. mods recommended
Old game still up there with the best in my opinion.
Classic!
Even now, after all these years, this itteration of the unreal engine is still cool. Some fo the level design is fantastic and detailed. This engine still has some cool lighting and effects. (mirrors!)
Voice acting is pretty bad in some places, but I love the gameplay, multiple approaches to a problem, crawling thnrough vents, picking locks, overriding security systems, etc.
Love this game!
Deus Ex: A Majestic 5
TL;DR: Deus Ex is just as, if not even more, relevant today as it was 24 years ago. It’s a classic that is both timeless and incredibly relevant to the times. Its story, while rooted in the fantasies of yesteryear, feels more real than ever, and my god, it’s evenstill fun to play. Don’t let the dated visuals, archaic gameplay, and frankly prehistoric writing push you away. There’s never been a better time to play Deus Ex, except for, maybe, tomorrow.
Steam Deck Performance: Although this game was primarily designed for keyboard and mouse, I managed, with a lot of tinkering, to get the game playable on handheld. Lo and behold, it was somehow even more enjoyable than KBM that way. Make use of the programmable touch menus, back pads, and mode shifts, and you’ll be golden. (or download my control scheme :P)

Full Review:
Dynamic but Deprecated Software
Deus Ex is a game all of my friends love to talk about, so I was surprised when I discovered none of them have played it. I can understand why, as I was one of those people for the longest time. Old games are clunky, confusing, hard on the eyes and harder to control. It’s putting it mildly to say they tend to not run well,and that’s if the devs have even bothered putting them on something like Steam. Although we see the past through rose-tinted glasses and are quick to sweep obvious issues under the rug, when playing something as old as Deus Ex you can really see how far the entire medium has come. Playing old games is bloody hard work, and Deus Ex is no different.
Deus Ex has a breathtaking amount of serious issues with its core gameplay, that I need to go over as part of a “modern-perspective” review. Firstly, your ability to explore gets off to a rocky start, especially for an immersive sim. Your navigation tools are costly:even the luxury of having a torch on rapidly drains your valuable energy, while others might just not show up. For example, you won’t be able to upgrade your paraplegic-tier jump until you find an easily missable augment. Sneaking, without the blessing of other rare augments, feels like a joke. Consequently, the path of least resistance is usually just ridding the level of enemies. “Peaceful” combat options were particularly finicky, especially the dreaded cattle prod, so without the game rewarding my pacifism enough I quickly chose violence. This was disappointing when coming from the modern deus ex games, where pacifism was a fun and rewarding way of stepping up the difficulty. Too often, it felt like the keys to the way forward were hidden so arbitrarily that I had to kill everything to even have a chance of finding them, when I really wanted a chance to sneak through instead. Even with enemies out of the picture, exploring the empty map can still be a chore. The rarest resource in the game are also the very tools that allow you to explore (lockpicks and multitools), and I was often so low on these I had to resort to lugging around an RPGas a replacement. With a significant chunk of inventory space taken up by a rocket-powered doorknob – and no ability to upgrade my inventory – I spent a little too much time rationing my dwindling storage space.
With the pain points out of the way, the rest of my experience was still marvelous. Although some maps were definitely linear, others were wonderfully complex. The game gets off to a rough start, but once you have your character, equipment and augmentations set up, the possibilities begin to multiply in front of you. Each mission blossoms from a nasty corridor full of buggy AI to an enormous, intricate puzzle box. Learning how to abuse strange cocktails of augments and equipment to get where you want really scratched my cyberpunk itch, especially given how overtuned the augments become as they are upgraded. I absolutely adore the fact that you can’t have all the augments either. It makes one JC Denton – along with his path through each mission – completely different to the next. Although it was initially a source of pain, I loved how little Deus Ex babies you. You are a trained UNATCO agent, you don’t need to be told what to do. Just figure it out yourself. The game can be enormously unforgiving, and while I didn’t like this at first, I grew to love how little resourcing decisions made early on in missions came back to bite me in the face later on, forcing me to make tough decisions. I just wish they hadn’t made save scumming so easy, because without any kind of autosave, there was a lot of that happening too. At least I didn’t feel encouraged to do that with the story.
My Future Vision is Augmented
What can I say about this game’s story and setting that hasn’t already been said? “Ahead of its time” doesn’t do it justice. This game featured terrorists destroying a New York landmark one year before the actual thing happened in 2001. It predicted a global pandemic causing worldwide panic and lockdown. A good political piece feels relevant to everyone as it is made. A great political piece somehow still feels relevant decades after its creation. The game still rocks that old sexy, refined and educated approach to covering global conspiracy theories that has been ruined by today’s basement-dwelling mouth-frothers. Deus Ex has a way of planting a scarily convincing seed in your brain that asks you “What if the Illuminati WAS real”. Hell, it even makes the prospect of that reality kind of cool.
The setting itself is just awesome too. The sun doesn’t exist in Deus Ex’s world; it’s probably just another unproven conspiracy. Everything needs to be dark, sleek, and mysterious. The game has two moods: Seedy and Sterile. Either you’re crawling through the sewer of an Asian red-light district, or the outflow-pipe of a secret facility’s manufacturing plant. It’s found the middle of the sci-fi, film-noir and James Bond Venn diagram and it wears that tonal perfection with smug pride. And the music… God, the music. Alex Brandon cooked up the darkest, synthiest, most brooding continuous eargasm known to man (at least until 198XAD by Mega Drive released), and turned the immersion up to eleven. I can practically feel the nanobots booting up in my blood whenever I play.
The actual story of Deus Ex isn’t bad either, although it definitely isn’t the pure perfection found elsewhere. The story had me repeatedly caught and lost like a greasy fishing hook: some parts had me turning up to work late the next morning, while others just had me plain confused. The stilted, unsure voice acting, and seriously dated writing didn’t help, and I was surprised that the series’ dubious practice of springing the ending choice on you only five minutes before you have to make it started with this game. Sometimes, it felt like the team had come up with this incredible, detailed and diabolical world, and then had to quickly write and shove a story that somewhat worked into it. It definitely felt like an afterthought, at certain points. Still, it had its surprises, and if I learned anything, it’s to stay out of the ladies’ restroom.
The last thing I need to mention is that I was lucky enough to come at Deus Ex with a fresh perspective, unswayed by memories or nostalgia. I can genuinely confirm that this game stood the test of time way better than many of its compatriots, and that it’s Zoomer brain-certified™. Although, like any old low-poly game, it has more than a few rough edges. It’s a shockingly relevant masterpiece that is genuinely a blast to play (at least most of the time). Grab your GEP gun, invisibility augment, and surprisingly lethal cigarettes and smash down that secret door you know is hidden in the women’s bathroom. You never know what kind of secrets that might uncover...
5/6: Excellent
More of my reviews here!
This is a classic masterpiece. A groundbreaking title for the genre. My favorite game of all time.
After beating the game I can safely say that this is one of the greatest games of all time and it absolutely deserved the GOTY award. Some things still don't hold up like aiming being extremely slow in the early game but it gets a lot better. But the story is probably one of the best I have ever played with some of the things in game actually happening in real life.
By far one of the best conspiracy games and it is definitely worth your money.
Deus Ex is the a fantastic game that deserved more time to really shine, but all that it has set up will forever be cherished in gaming history.
One random great thing worth mentioning: The actual number of locations in the world you go to is pretty crazy. Modern Immersive SIms can't deliver the variety of locations this one has. They have varying degrees of accuracy but who cares.
One random bad thing: I think modern machines can mess with the AI some causing them to re-position faster than was intended. Just check up for mods or tweaks to configs.
It's good but I accidentally autosaved instead of autoloaded just before a death, and I ONLY used autosave so uh.. not beating it unfortunantly
Almost 25 years ago, I first stepped into the dystopian cyberpunk world of Deus Ex. As JC Denton, a rookie UNATCO agent, I was trying to stop terrorist organisations and investigate a nano-virus that is plaguing the planet. The story is profound, with many plot twists, while providing observations of themes such as social class divisions, capitalism, transhumanism and conspiracy theories. Deus Ex is a mix of first person shooter and RPG elements with in depth character customisation options and technological upgrades. Weapons are likewise customisable and numerous electronic systems can be hacked and used to your advantage. The level design is great, and there are multiple ways that one can complete an objective. Player choices matter as well, and will influence how some events play out in the story. The visual style and atmospheric soundtrack are an intricate part of the experience as we explore the various environments offered. To say I was immersed was an understatement, the storytelling is some of the best I've experienced, in any medium. Technically there are issues with launching this game on modern day PC rigs as well as crashes. There are some mods available that can improve the experience in this regard. Several aspects of the game certainly show their age now, as would be expected, but Deus Ex at its core is one of my top videogames of all time, an experience I will never forget and one that has become increasingly rare in this day and age.
Dated, but still an incredible game. Great story, great characters, and an amazing protagonist. The only thing that brings the game down is the fact that the prequels exist.
An essential for those who are fans of the System Shock/Ghost in the Shell genre. Has a certain quality which the later Deus Ex games just lack.
Legendary game. It's quite dated in some gameplay aspects but it's story and dialogues are like no other, one of the most unique experiences in gaming.
2 minute TLDR:
Can't recommend the game enough, Deus Ex is a gem in today's gaming landscape. Sure, it's a bit clunky, and it took me a bunch of attempts to "get into it" but once I crossed that barrier, I was hooked.
The sheer level of gameplay you can experiment with here is, frankly, insane. The game's narrative accounts for a lot of your choices too, unlike a lot of other games that may have trouble with the player taking certain unexpected actions to solve problems, Deus Ex really tries to think of everything. The story feels tight and gripped me once I got past the first mission. There's a lot going on with the story so I won't spoil it but I highly recommend the game for that aspect alone, but if you really like experimenting with mechanics in immersive sims you *have* to try this one.
I played this for the first time in 2024, after only playing Human Revolution years ago and not remembering much from it. I have to say, after seeing this so high on GOAT games lists, I can now see why. This must have been absolutely mind blowing if played back in the day. Even today it was extremely enjoyable. With that being said, it doesn't run the greatest on my modern system so I ran into crazy FPS drops fairly often but no crashes. I'm sure there may be fixes to this but I was too lazy and just dealt with it when it happened.
Buy and play it before MJ12 takes it away!
it's one of those games that left me speechless. How can a 24 year old game be so good!
Never seen anything like this and probably never will. Great soundtrack, atmosphere and game play and superb story. it's so good you feel like reading a very good novel that you can immerse yourself in, it's just unbelievable! when i opened it my expectations were very low but as soon as i started it i realized how much this game was ahead of its time, since i had experience with games from that era. Most games still haven't achieved the silky smooth game play it has. needless to say, it's filled with truth bombs so get it ASAP before democracy falls :'(
i wanna have deus sex with jc denton
(i only have .1 hours because i play with a bugfix mod)
While it is clunky in its controls and mechanics, Deus Ex is an awesome game. The premise is unique, the devs quite literally thought; "What if all the conspiracy theories you see in the tabloids were true?". Many of the events in the game ring true in today's world, funnily enough. It's quite entertaining, and a good blast to the past for those who enjoy older games.
One of the best games in world. Played through it like 8 times before buying it on steam.
If you still haven't played this, it's a true gem of gaming history. The level design, immersion, dialog, plot, characters, atmosphere, and reactivity to player choice are still utterly incredible to this day. So many fantastic moments and emotional highs in this story that I won't soon forget. It has aged like a fine wine, and it was a smooth and refreshing experience that reminded me once again of the heights games can aspire to. It is also perhaps the most quotable game I've ever played. I would easily rate this among the top ten games I've ever played or higher. and this is all backed by a stunning soundtrack that had me totally entranced. As a final note, the themes and dilemmas this game focuses on are extremely relevant to this day.
This is one of the greatest PC games ever made. It's fun, it's clever, and if you know to pay attention, you'll find it's also profound. It is foundational for many games that follow the Immersive Sim design philosophy, such as Dishonored and it's sequels. In some areas it shows it's age, but that adds to the charm. This one's a certified classic.
The running is still so funny. This game is an OG classic. So many ways to play it. Multiple approaches to every mission and a lot of choices mattering before then was really a thing. Great level design, weapons, skills and combat. A must play.
True Cyberpunk classic from the golden age of gaming, with countless followers but there can only be one!
Amazing game! Great story, great gameplay, great fun!
Outdated in places but overall a great game.
Since the game came out, I never had the patience to complete it. I always gave up somewhere in the middle.
But when I play on Steam Deck, I can grind without any problems. And I must say that the game (after installing mods) works great on the device.
For the first time since the game came out, I finally finished it, and what a great game it is. I liked it so much that immediately after completing the vanilla version, I installed the GMDX mod and completed the game for the second time.
The story is still relevant and interesting. The music is simply gorgeous. The atmosphere of the world, despite the outdated graphics, looks believable. And with the GMDX mod, this is my go-to version of the game.
P.S. I tried the Revision mod, but I didn't like how the developers remade the maps.
One of the greatest computer experiences ever envisioned... and it also predicted 9/11
Not only was this game impressive for its time, it was also *really* ahead of it as well.
Seriously, this game unintentionally predicted both 9/11 and Covid. Just to name a few.
In Steam version I mostly played Revision, but I have 2008 edition licensed disk.
Replayed it a TON of times.
Best Deus Ex. A gem released ahead of it's time
