I understand the bad things people have mentioned about this game, and despite being a huge fan of the game, I agree on some levels. Story itself is a little one dimensional. While certain missions give you more than one way to complete them, there is no significant impact on the story, aside from which factions support you, and what dialogue you get from certain characters.
Still, it's pretty fun to play when you look at it like a comedic walk through a dystopian future.
just a fucking absolute pain in the ass to get to work then just stops working altogether fucking steam games man.
so i do like this game but GOOD LORD will it mess with your PC's display resolution SUPER HARD, every time i start it up things get super big and zoomed in on my home screen plus even tho it says is has some controller support it really doesn't so be ready to play only on key-bored and mouse and for those reasons i can't recommend this game, at least not this port
Installed the Visible Upgrade mod to make this mess somewhat tolerable, but every single cutscene crashes the game and forces a full PC restart. I haven’t even gotten past the character creation screen without my computer begging for mercy. They took everything that made the original great, ripped it out, and slapped together this dumpster fire. If you want to waste hours troubleshooting and rage rebooting, go ahead. Otherwise, just play the original.
Just a console rip-off of the series. Everything is dumbed down to the max. Story is all over the place. Progression is really bad as you get all the gear and augments right from the start. It's a VERY bad shooter. You won't miss much by not playing this. Only positive thing is that it runs almost flawlessly on Linux, you just have to edit resolution and FOV manually.
Deus Ex: Invisible War review
Completed this game once years ago and I actually liked it for the most part. Sure there are problems but the story, atmosphere and setting all work well. The bigger problem was with trying to complete it the second time, for some reason I got bored with it very quickly when I knew what was around the corner.
It's been so long that I decided to just play it once more, while I will return to this review with having experienced this for the second time fully, I will review thatI remember are the pros and cons of this game.
Pros:
+Visual style is pretty good
+Soundtrack is good even though not as standout as the first one
+Sound effects are quite ok
+Story was good and actually finished the series (in a way that would be very difficult to write a sequel to)
Cons:
-Very bad replayability for me
-It isn't challenging enough
-Some enhancements feel useless and some important ones lock eachother out (as far as I remember)
-Though you can get over it, this game has always felt like a poor port of a Xbox-game
-Lighting is fun and in real time but I remember the stealth mechanics being wonky at times because of it
Few people can actually get this game to run, if you do, it's honestly an alright experience. It's barely like the original Deus Ex, it kind of feels like it, but with more or less every mechanic and gameplay element downgraded.
The world is a lot smaller, and levels feel linear and very gamey since this game was made for consoles, but despite all of that, I believe it still captures the feeling of the original Deus Ex better than some of the later games. The guns are generally fun to shoot, and there are some fun gadgets to mess around with and that's pretty much %80 of the game. I'm giving it a positive rating as a action sci-fi shooter, less so immersive sim.
DONT WORK. audio glitches, stuck on black screen and it stinks
What a shame.
One of the worst sequels of all time. Would have been a completely forgettable xbox shooter that never got played again, but the deus ex branding is there. Bad shooting, bad stealth, bad ammo system, bad augs, bad combat in general, bad story, bad voice acting, bad writing.
Super underrated game. A lot of fans of the original hate on it because it's much shorter than the first game, but that doesn't make it bad. It's a very solid game. The powers are interesting, the locations are cool, and it ties into the first game well enough while being able to stand on its own. Is it better than Deus Ex? No, but not many games are.
8.5/10 imo.
All 4 endings suck.
"Good citizens, paladins, we have won! Allow me this allegory: Our forebears would say that we have at last reached the delectable mountains. Yes, well, we have conquered these mountains. And soon not one hill will have a name other than clear. We have burned the land clean. What cells of disease remain are few in number and short on time. But friends, citizens, I tell you today that we have a new enemy. The enemy's name is error, and it stands tall against the horizon. This new enemy, this new enemy is all too human. But we will act now, before these traitors spread their disease to other susceptible minds!"
He that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
A good game in it's own right that could've never lived up to the original but invites comparison by being such a direct sequel in story but a massive departure in gameplay. Still worth playing but Alex is no JC and this game is no match for the GOAT.
First playthrough review time.
Deus Ex: Invisible War is a game that mixes shooting and role-playing. It lets the player choose between a male or female character in this game. The missions can be done in more than one way. A player can go quietly or use weapons to fight. This gives the player some control over how to finish tasks.
There are many problems in the game. The enemies do not act smart and are easy to beat. All weapons use the same ammo, so there is not much difference between them. The story is not strong and may not keep the players very interested. Some bugs can stop the game from working correctly, and also the Steam overlay isn’t working for this game.
Overall, this game's plot is not as strong as the first Deus Ex game. The older game had a better story, smarter enemies, and fewer problems. Invisible War has some good parts, but it does not match the quality of the first game in most areas.
Note: To avoid certain bugs in Deus Ex: Invisible War, you should install the Visible Upgrade Mod. First, run the game at least once on Steam or the mod won't be installed. Afterward, download and install the mod from the link below.
Mod Description and Link:
The patch includes various bug fixes and game improvements, such as widescreen support, and offers some tweaks to enhance the game. It also optionally bundles the Unified Texture Pack. This mod works with both the GOG and Steam versions of the game.

If you can't trust your favorite coffee company, who can you trust?
Meh, a simplified Deus Ex 1 with a more coherent flow, lose out on that original gritty fee though. Whole game screams Xbox.
The first game was great for what it was at the time.
I won't comment on the story or gameplay, as I couldn't manage to get through the first level before setting it down.
I managed to get a manageable setup in the first Deus Ex after fiddling with the graphics and rendering settings for a few minutes, no such luck here. The resolution is locked to a square regardless of what you set in game, and the game itself changes my computer's resolution settings.
My biggest issue is that apparently the game seems to close and re-open itself whenever going through a loading screen, as if the program needs to restart entirely just to load the next area.
To be expected with such an old game I suppose but its predecessor gave me no issues after tweaking some settings given to me clearly.
For decades now I've heard that Deus Ex: Invisible War is some awful game. And now that I've finally played it, I thought it was... fine. A big step down from the original, without question, but nowhere near as bad as some claim it to be. Honestly the biggest issue I had with it, I just found it boring. Which in many ways is worse than a bad game, sure, but it's certainly not a steaming turd. It goes for £5.99? There are worse things you can buy for £5.99. Don't let this be your only Deus Ex game though! I assure you, the other main 3 are far better.
(Last note, I'm only hitting "recommend" because my choices are just yes or no. I feel like there should be an in-between option here)
With games I don't like, I usually say that fans of the series should get it on sale. But this game just isn't good. It's not _bad_ per se, I've still played it through, but I've never really felt immersed, the story is poorly written and some design choices are quite questionable. There's no reason to buy this, if you don't care about DX. And if you do care about DX, you shouldn't buy it either. It's set in the distant future, you're not missing out on anything in the DX timeline, so even as a completionist you're good (/better off) without it.
Worst of Deus Ex? Maybe. I haven't played the latest ones.
Crashes? Sometimes.
Takes time to load? Yes.
I finished the game. You need to run it from a different .exe file for improved graphics, unfortunately. But overall, this game gives off really positive vibes. The story is a continuation of the first Deus Ex and it's quite interesting.
You just need to get used to the game and be a little patient. Yes, it may have some performance issues, so either go for a refund or take the time to look for fixes to get it running properly on your PC.
If you’ve played the first Deus Ex and plan to go through the rest of the series, I think you shouldn’t skip this one.
technical issues running the game aside, this game is a mockery of everything immersive sims stand for an i cannot recommend it to anyone. the goals of streamlining the dx formula have significantly reduced all of the things that made the series great to begin with: player freedom, experimentation and emergent gameplay. just a few examples of poor design:
-) ammo is now universal between all weapons and reloading doesnt exist. no alternate ammo types or anything, you just get a "gun" metre
-) the 9 augmentation slots of the original game have been reduced to six, each containing 2 standard and one black market augmentation. biomods can only be upgraded twice as opposed to the original 3 times, and the augments are either returning from the first game with severely limited usability, or their usefulness extends to "you can hack vending machines"
-) no matter how you spec out your character, combat is 90% of the time the only solution to any given problem. with how limited the augmentation options are, no matter what character you build youll end up speccing somewhat into combat
-) movement is awful, weapon feel is somehow worse than the original game. and this is especially sinful considering this games much heavier combat focus
-) main objectives follow the same formula of having two slightly different objectives for whatever two factions are begging for your attention at the time, i.e: break into a hangar and either kill or revive the frozen body there. minor objectives still required for progression tend to have but one solution, usually depending on the user having equipment to handle it, and supplying the equipment in the room prior for this express purpose
-) writing and voicework isnt great like the first game, but this game also loses all of the appeal of the writing of the original. everyone speaks in a stilted tone with unnatural language and im pretty sure one of the major characters literally uses a text to speech voice
-) plot makes no sense and attempts to make every ending of the original game canon in the most unsatisfying and confusing way possible. characters have no depth, your decisions have only the impact of what minor deviation you make in your current objective and what enemies you will be fighting in the next map (even then, the first 2/3rds of the game wont even alter enemy types based on your choices because they havent gotten to the "cool" twist yet). your ending is essentially decided the moment you complete the second to last objective, where the game gives you a list of the active factions and you just buddy up with whoever you wanted
-) i completed the game in under an hour. yes its that short. that was also my FIRST playthrough. this is compared to the original deus ex which lasts about 30 hours on a first playthrough and offers near endless replay value
past how poorly the game is designed, it doesnt even function properly on modern windows. it took me 3 weeks to get this game to run on my machine and it required a fanmade patch, the dgvoodoo wrapper, installing process lasso to limit the game to only two cores else it would crash on every single loading screen, running the game in windows 95 compatability mode for some reason, AND it requires being run as an administrator meaning the steam overlay wouldnt function.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
Option to play as either Male or Female and ability to choose endings.
If you like the old games and want a trip down memory lane you should try this set of games and enjoy the fun of this futuristic game.
I played this game on xbox to d-e-a-t-h.
Running Win 10, I installed this to the C drive and it worked with 0 major hitches and 2 minor hitches.
Minor hitch 1 - The resolution in the unmodified game seems to top out at 1280x1024.
Minor hitch 2 - The game minimizes to the de-rezzed desktop between levels.
There MAY be mods to deal with these - I don't care - it works. Might not be elegant - but neither am I.
Other than that, the game is ported over intact... derpiness, insane physics engine, and the lolstealth at 100% of original. It has a bad case of "thinks it's tough game" when it will will shower one with items if they peek around a level at all (and you will because it is a Deus Ex game), but it is a fun romp for those who like options in fps more than just gun selection.
Right now it is .97 USD. I have nostalgia glasses, but it certainly worth a dollar (if the code gremlins don't get you I guess from other people's posts).
the game changes my system resolution every time i boot it up and it tabs out for every single loading screen
Kirkland brand Deus Ex.
crashed my whole pc after playing for 5 minutes 10/10 better than the og and human revolution
GAME NEEDS TO BE OPTIMIZED CAUSE IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK! This game is trash anyway!
Deus Ex: Invisible War is an immersive sim that blends RPG and FPS mechanics, offering players multiple ways to tackle missions.
The ability to choose between a male and female protagonist was quite impressive for a game released in 2003.
Gameplay variety is excellent, allowing both stealth and direct combat approaches.
However, enemy AI is weak, and the game suffers from noticeable graphical issues.
The universal ammo system, combined with more bugs and a less engaging story, makes this game weaker compared to the previous Deus Ex.
It's worth playing once, but the previous Deus Ex was undoubtedly better.
6/10
Do not buy this game on Steam. It is extremely unstable and barely runs without having to troubleshoot constantly. I was able to finish the game but it was such an annoyance dealing with issues such as the game not loading in, creating new processes with each time you load a save.
Amazing experience - was able to remind myself how to close down NVIDIA Shadowplay, Steam Overlay, set single core, set up different compatibility modes (INCLUDING Win 98 OMG THAT WAS a NOSTALGIC MOMENT Y'ALL!!!!);
Also, realized how cool to Google around and download different mods, patches, and fixes all across GitHub and the internet - literally felt like a true JC Denton hacker!
Ow, what about the game? Sorry, completely forgot to mention - It's just doesn't work after character creation. Cheers!
I personally think this is the best one, by far.
I just love the vibe.
Best story. First thing that stands out to me is the story. The dialogue and quality of the voice actors is way ahead of it's time.
I just remember all those years ago on the OG Xbox how this one just felt right. Human Revolution felt too stiff, Mankind Divided lacked a lot of challenge and story. This one feels right at home.
Kidneythieves in the soundtrack, Bruce Somers on musical composition if memory serves right.
If you're cool with a 'retro' game....for .97 cents, I'd say you have nothing to lose.
Help 5 4 3 2 1
Wish I could play this game with my controller but even resorting to keyboard and mouse, this game is just as good now as when i first played it in 2004. Brilliant game. Again, wish I could play it with my controller!!!!
This is a dumbed down version of the first Deus Ex. The story isn't as good and the game is broken on Steam. If it's on sale or part of a bundle, you might want to pick it up but I wouldn't pay full price.
[To fix the black screen during loading screen error, open Task Manager > Details > DX2Main.exe > Analyze Wait Chain and stop or uninstall whatever is causing the problem. You might need to install the Visible Upgrade mod first and switch to windowed mode in order to switch windows during the black screen.]
50/100
Short & Simple
A downgrade of the original in all but graphics
Positives
- 404
Negatives
- The game lacks challenge and feels simplistic in its mechanics. Money is useless and so are most of the guns, weapon mods and biomods.
- Your character can eat several bullets in Realistic difficulty. In Deus Ex, a stray headshot would kill you even in full health.
- Interaction with NPCs is limited. Guards won't always stop you from getting into places you shouldn't be in. Even the NPCs know that money is useless as you can steal it in front of them with no consequences.
- Loading a save after opening the game would freeze my PC roughly 30% of the time.
- Highest available resolution is 1024p
[*]16 hours of gameplay, less if you are not a completionist. This could be a positive if you don't enjoy wasting your time
I have no enemies, merely topographies of ignorance
sigma only game
I've been trying to get this game to run properly ever since I got it and I just can't do it. I've tried the Visual Patch but there are still bugs that need fixing like having my mouse stuttering in certain areas and somehow messing up my brightness on the computer. I've tried GOG and it did the same thing, plus messing up my resolution.
This has been a game I've been wanting to play for so long and I can't get it to work without permanently messing up my PC. I don't think I'll play this game again unless there's some super cool mod that fixes the entire game instead of just the visuals.
Una lástima no poder jugarlo ahora mismo por lo incompatible que es con los sistemas actuales. Tal vez en el futuro vuelva a intentarlo con algún otro parche o solución que encuentre por ahi, pero por ahora, lamentablemente mi reseña tendrá que ser negativa, .

Crashed my entire pc after the first cutscene lmao

does NOT work for steam, running in 1600x1200 made it change my base resolution on my main monitor to the same res, and my both monitors went black like the pc is dead but i can hear everything going on, this does not seem too work as it should on steam, what a shame.
=absolute cinema=
So, the first one took me four tries to get through it because I didn't understand the game well enough. This one, well I played it in two days. Suffice it to say, I liked it a lot. The decisions you make now align you with more than one faction, and there are four different endings you can get. Very good game, made lots of improvements on the first one. Don't know why it gets so much hate.
There is a very large con though. The games graphical and coding problems are kinda crazy. To get this game to work correctly takes a lot of googling, file shifting, and mod installations. Good luck figuring it out in under a couple hours, but it's such a great game once you get it to work.
One of my most controversial gaming opinions is that I like this game. It's not good, but I liked it. That being said, I will never play it again and it's the worst game in the series (besides the mobile game of course)
It felt like I was larping with 40 year olds on Second Life
The game brings you back to the desktop for every loading screen LOL
Do not buy this on Steam!! No matter what fixes I had tried nothing ever worked. In fact, things only got worse, until it got to the point where the game just wouldn't open at all. Buy this on GOG, or emulate it on xemu, or just play it on an OG Xbox.
I gave a thunbs up because this game is in the DEU. I woud've liked the areas to have been bigger and more open. I liked playing Alex D, but it would've been nice to have had a few more augs for him to choose and modify. Storyline was ok. Some characters backstories could've been expanded. And maybe an extra side quest or two. I liked playing the game but I felt it could have been a whole lot more, especially after playing Revision and TNM.

6.5 \ 10
It’s a lot worse than I remember. This was one of my most anticipated sequels and it ended up being such a downgrade from the original in every way. I also recently replayed Deus Ex and it held up flawlessly. Still one of the greatest games of all time. However, replaying Invisible War right after just bums me out. Maybe one day we will get a proper sequal to this classic series.
Invisible war is not a bad game , infact i'd argue it was a good game for 2003 standards however due to the fact that it was an inferior sequel to Deus ex 1 at release it hasn't aged well and feels like a chore to complete unlike Deus ex 1(Revision) which is still fun to play .
