Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Reviews
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is solid proof of what can be done with a franchise if you take the ideas that worked so well with its return in Human Revolution, and build upon them with great care. There are times the missions can run a little tiring (particularly with certain boss fights), as well as wishing the voice acting was better. Still, it tells one hell of a story, and watching it play out with so many possibilities is a great part of the fun. This is one world you won't get enough of – even if you're tired of issues in the current one.
More akin to a great part one of a television two-parter – awesome, but not the whole story.
She's a bit rough around the edges on the technical side, but it's that classic Deus Ex action that you can't really find anywhere else
Here's hoping that we don't have to wait another five years to see find out what happens next.
In a game that needs to balance so much, it finds a way so nearly every feature meets a high-quality standard in this action-RPG
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has a firm grasp on what made the original title so iconic- providing some of the best variety in how a player could approach every objective and making each of them feel just as fun and satisfying as the other.
I imagine the Internet will be abuzz with discussion on the "Mechanical Apartheid" issue, debating whether it was offensive, or if Eidos Montreal did enough to warrant the comparison, but aside from that, there is a very solid effort here. The new augments combined with better level design makes exploration more satisfying, and the little upgrades to hacking make that whole system more tense. While it's over a little too soon, if you enjoyed Human Revolution, there is a lot to like here.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's politics aren't the hot mess the ad material suggests. Heck it barely has politics
The ending makes it feel like this story just isn't finished, that it's simply a midway marker to a larger, more weighty tale with a full and satisfying ending. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided takes us only part way there, and we still want to get to those enemies in the shadows.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is one of the best games of 2016, featuring an astonishing artistic design, a detailed universe and marvellous gameplay mechanics. However, its plot could have been more intense and less conservative.

Mankind Divided's cybernetic playground feels fresh, even if it doesn't go as far as expected
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is another outstanding entry in the series containing many viable gameplay options, framed around a fascinating—if not thoroughly conclusive—narrative.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an excellent continuation of the series. It has a deep and balanced story with additions that might seem trivial to some but are highly effective in transforming the gameplay experience. The graphics on the PS4 need to be upgraded for players on the console to have a better time with the game.

Mankind Divided works from almost every point of view, from the excellent narrative to the solid gameplay. The title is essential for those who have just Human Revolution, and for cyberpunk lovers.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an impressive sequel to the brilliant Human Revolution. In the grand scheme of things, there are very few monumental changes, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? And everything that was broken in Human Revolution? It's all fixed. Held back from true greatness by the odd grumble here and there, Mankind Divided is worthy of anyone's time and money.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided isn't a revolutionary experience, but it is a high-quality one in just about every way. If you're a fan of the genre or the series you'll love it, and it's worth a look even for those new to this kind of game (though prepare to wade through hip-deep lore as you go).
A beautiful, smartly designed game set in a gorgeous futuristic city, but with a story that doesn't quite do it justice.
I’d have to say, I never expected to enjoy Mankind Divided as much as I did. I had my reservations since playing Human Revolution with its less than stellar animations and horrendous boss fights. I was expecting much of the same and I’m glad I was wrong. With a sprawling hub environment at its heart, Mankind Divided has plenty of off beaten paths to lose countless hours on.
Lovingly crafted, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided essentially takes Metal Gear Solid and drops it into a Blade Runner-esque transhumanist world full of complexities, oddities, and deception. The result is an engaging adventure with great feel and a few surprises up its sleeve. Definitely one to look into.
Once again Eidos Montreal has managed to craft a game that even people who dislike FPS, should play, since this game's focus is clearly Stealth and Tactics and not so much combat. The choices we make actually do have impact the further we go into the story, and you'll want to replay the game in order to know what would've happened if you had acted differently.
