Mediocre
I loved the first Deus Ex to pieces. I still have the box, and it still plays on my 266mhz G3 All-In-One. That said, heres how I feel about this latest installment:
It runs a tad poorly.
...forgets preferences, takes forever to load (which happens every time you die), cant seem to run at native Retina resolution.
TERRIBLE voice acting, generic story, forgettable chracters... and fun gameplay.
Lots of detail in the physical environments, but littered with poor attempts at worldbuilding — newspapaers, unlocked computers, and stray conversations — all repeat nearly identical tidbits of the most recent cinematic.
The same could be said of the first Deus Ex; but this third installment cant pull it off — it is completely devoid of charm or character.
I would happily have paid $5. Ive played for 3 hours and consider myself "done", and would like the rest of my money back.
