How Long Is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided?
Related Content
Short and sweet (in parts)
Set-piece missions are great - tense and varied. Side-missions and shorter story missions in and around Prague not so much.
I found the aug system / skill tree a little uninspiring and the power system just annoying. I didn’t use the active augs very often because regular stealth gameplay works just fine.
Enemies not too smart - in a crisis, run, hide and kill everyone with the shotgun as they wander into your LOS.
Hacking mini game doesn’t really deliver on its promise but remote hacking is fun.
Good story, well realised world, smooth gameplay. Short, but I was pretty much done with it by the end anyway.
3.5 stars.
Something Not Entirely Unlike Fun
I enjoyed it. I did a stealth pacifist and did all the side quests.
The story is completely inscrutable at the start, but then it is very simplistic.
I was not into it at first because of how dopy and confusing the story was but once I got into the game mechanics and learned the systems it got good.
This is free in the Epic store this week:

DX4 is easily one of the best games ever given away by any store, despite it's two bigs flaws (hacking/instability). Read more about it in my review.
After finishing Cyberpunk 2077 and feeling shorted, let's try finishing this possibly comparable game.
It was really good, but I don't know... I missed the feel from Human Revolution in this one
Look, I get it. This game does a lot of dumb stuff (mostly where the story is involved). The whole aug bigotry thing doesn't hold up under any sort of scrutiny, the story feels half-baked at most, all of the security and Adam Jensen might have the most generic video game main character voice of all time.
But it's so fucking fun. Sneaking around is fun. Hacking into people's homes and their computers so you can read their dumb personal emails is fun. Knocking people out with ridiculous, over-the-top animations is fun. All of your augs are super cool and super fun. It's fun to just poke around the world and discover new pathways or bits of lore or secrets. It's just fun!
I hated this game at first but it grew on me and I ended up loving it.
Long story short, Mankind Divided is a good game, yet a very bad sequel. It pales in comparison with Human Revolution (especially in terms of story). However, its core gameplay mechanics are good enough to be enjoyable for the 10+ hours of the game.
I'm thinking about doing a New Game + but I'm not sure yet.
When I first started Human Revolution, its opening 30 minutes put me off so much that I moved it back to my backlog for a couple months. But when I eventually went back to the game and finished it, it became one of my all-time favorites. And now I'm having deja vu with Mankind Divided. God, the opening 30 minutes of Mankind Divided is even more boring than Human Revolution's. How can Eidos Montreal be so consistently bad at this?
Way to go, Sony, way to go! Mankind Divided will be free on January 2018 for PS Plus members. Human Revolution was one of the best games I've played in my life but I was kind of put off by the mediocre reviews of Mankind Divided. So I'm really happy that I'll finally get to play it. PS Plus free games lineups have been improving greatly. I hope Sony keeps it up.
I'm having the same exact reaction with this game as with Human Revolution. A great game gameplay-wise, but incredibly weak story-wise. I love exploring the world, hacking keypads, breaking walls and running through conveniently located ventilation systems. But the story is dumb beyond belief.
I've got to say, the voice acting and the dialogues in this game are beyond bad. It's embarrasing.
Enjoying so far. Quite a bit of hidden gear/goodies and stuff in the maps, which I like... Feels like real places.
