Great game! Almost captured the feeling I got playing the original Deus Ex that I pirated off Hotwire 25 years ago. But after watching a YouTube video of the OG Deus Ex, I think some of that feeling was just being a kid and seeing something that kind of amazing for the first time.

If you can look past the dated graphics, the OG Deus EX is by far the better game and one of the best games of all time. The writing and philosophy alone elevates the game to masterpiece status. They dumbed down down these core elements in sequels to focus on better graphics and simpler mechanics and these games are far worse for it.
