Deus Ex: Mankind Divided review: 'An excellent addition to the series'

In 2011, Square Enix appeared to achieve the impossible, creating a new game in the Deus Ex canon that received both critical and public acclaim for a much lauded and iconic series. Human Revolution stayed true to the themes and gameplay mechanics of the original game and updated them for modern players without dumbing down. Mankind Divided is a direct sequel and certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel. If you loved Human Revolution, you'll love this, no question. Thematically the game excels, creating a near-future universe where advanced technology and poverty co-exist, against the backdrop of the threat of terrorism from a group representing'augs', humans with robotic limbs and implants. The display of segregation, paranoia and media-led hysteria is well framed, seemingly using current real world invents as inspiration.
