Deus Ex Games You Asked For
It’s confusing times for Ex-lovers everywhere. The Cyberpunk series is still in limbo, with 2016’s controversial Mankind Divided being the last major release in a franchise that received more critical acclaim than it achieved commercial success.
However, it’s not clear what the future holds for the Swedish giants after the sale of Deus Ex as well as many other properties to Embracer Group in connection with Square Enix’s three major Western studios (Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montreal) and the acquisition of Square Enix Montreal’s Square Enix Montreal.
Embracer will need to decide how to play with their new toys. This means there may be some delay before Adam Jensen puts on his shades and sets off for another adventure. Here are ten games similar to Deus Ex to keep series fans happy.
Dishonoured
Few games give you more freedom than Deus Ex: Human Revolution or Arkane Studios’ flagship game Dishonored.
Dishonoured is more than just a game. It’s a way to enjoy the game and learn new skills. YouTube videos confirm that Dishonored is a fun sandbox game in which you can create your own experience. Dishonored treats Corvo like a big boy, offering many routes to traverse and entry, the possibility for different playstyles and the ability to use Corvo’s deadly abilities.
Games like Dishonored and Deus Ex will remain famous and culturally important for a long time. Too often, games give the illusion of choice by forcing players to play a certain way or follow a predetermined path. While pre-rendered results are great for the Uncharted’s, games should still be explored, pushed, and ultimately played with.
System Shock 2
System Shock 2 was released in 1999 at the dawn of a new Millenium. It was the beginning of a mini-gaming revolution that saw games creating stories with more depth, vision, and nuance than ever before. System Shock 2 is set aboard a cyberpunk starship, 2114. It sees players take on the role of an anonymous soldier to stop an infection from spreading through the vessel.
System Shock 2 is a fantastic storytelling masterpiece that shows Ken Levine at his best. System Shock 2 is an RPG survival horror game that allows players to immerse themselves in the eerie sci-fi world. This was back when computer graphics were still primitive.
System Shock 2 is the spiritual predecessor of the BioShock saga. The franchise helped put immersive sims on the map for a new generation. System Shock 2 is an excellent game for those who want to be engrossed in its world of engaging storytelling and big ideas.
Game dev
Cyberpunk dystopias are like isometric RPGs and cyber pets. As proof, see Disco Elysium, Citizen Sleeper and The Ascent.
Game dev is a lesser-known game on this list, but it doesn’t mean it’s less good. Your role as a “game detective” is to solve crimes in a simulated reality. You will gather evidence and interrogate witnesses and suspects until you discover the truth. Although it sounds strange, this is cyberpunk role-playing — that’s all the point.
Gamedec’s purpose is to show that your decisions and choices have consequences. This is an excellent indicator of whether a role-playing game succeeds or fails. Game dev, like Deus Ex, is about giving players choices and letting them shape the world in their way.
