"I speel my drink!" Deus Ex has set an example to the industry.
I find the game to be both entertaining and challenging. Rewarding you for unique styles of play and methods of completing a mission.
this offers the player a true sense of freedom and non-linearity that not many games have in the industry these days.
It's no secret that the game's graphics haven't aged well, but that doesn't matter.
The game makes up for this in both having a simply astounding story, intuitive controls and sound.
the game's music is absolutely amazing, as well as iconic to the loyal fans. It really sets the scene and the mood of the game, some players (including myself!) may find themselves completely immersed in the game's atmosphere.
Deus Ex has rich dialogue and story driven player choices that change your situation as you go on.
The RPG elements, in my opinion, do sometimes seem rather tacky.
you have a list of skills from the start and you upgrade those with skill points that you obtain on your en-devours. It is however very rewarding when you finally reach the required amount of skill points to upgrade yourself.
The augmentations are the star of the show, game-play wise.
as you play you will come across augmentation canisters, and with the use of a bot, you can give Denton augmentation that allow you to easily overpass obstacles that you will come across, according to your play style.
If you want to be stealthy, get yourself a cloak aug. Want to be a killing machine? suit yourself up with armor augs.
there are very many unique Augmentation for you to play around with.
Deus Ex is a game that you should absolutely everyone should at least try.
Once you get over the graphics (which can easily be improved through the use of mods!), the game itself will be one that you will remember for years to come.
