The value story

The value story

Across all 97 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is less well reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided ($29.99, scores 34) outscores it, and so does Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut ($19.99, scores 86). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

if you love the other deus ex games, please play through this even though you might hate it. It feels like it has been converted from a mobile phone game to a pc game but it is good.

Honestly this game isn't actually as bad as people say it is... if you can get it on sale. Not a game I would recommend picking up at full price, but still a game i would recommend. Little sad it does end off on a cliffhanger but was a fun game to play for. A playthrough will give you 3-4hrs of fun.

I love Deus Ex but this is a massive downgrade from the other entries in the series. I ran into too many bugs to even be worth playing.

About the game
