The value story

The value story

It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut ($19.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Deus Ex: Invisible War ($6.99, scores 5).

More about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 2,308 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, currency); the score docks it lightly for that.

16.1 hours to finish it, 53 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.3 times the campaign.

What players say

feels really half-baked and outdated with a lot of really questionable level-design choices and serious problems with pacing and progression. A lot of interesting choices and some great quests and overall nice presentation - that work so good you don't want to erase it from the series canon, but overall extremely dissapointing. step-down from HR in a lot of ways with a lof of truly amazing content still, yet my own...

Just beat this game for the third time, this time with the DLC, right after Human Revolution. These two DE games by Eidos will probably be remembered as cult classics and we will be mad that they never got the ending that they deserved. MD specifically has a great (but incomplete) story, amazing sidequests, fantastic music, fun gameplay and stunning graphics that look good even 10 years after release. If you somehow...

I Never Asked for This. A weak storyline, a bunch of visual glitches, and uninteresting side missions.
