In the game you control basically a cyber agent “augmentations” biomechanics, responsible for resolving various scenarios by infiltration or direct combat. With the perspective of years, these decisions are good and make sense, although they were certainly a slight setback for freedom and amazing open character of the original. In almost every way, Mankind Divided follows the mold created by Human Revolution, great delivery revitalized a franchise of excellence that had fallen into disgrace. As usual, Jensen will soon be in the center of the conspiracy: the authorities seek to attribute both to activism rights increased, but the tracks cyber vigilantes point to an invisible hand behind these events … what would you choose? You shall gather a divided humanity?

In this context, Adam Jensen, star of the previous title who now works for Interpol, to investigate a mysterious series of attempts on his own team: an ambush in Saudi Arabia by a team of mysterious murderers with golden masks and an explosion in Prague. Now, augmented are victims of a “mechanical Apartheid” systematically excluded and considered a danger to the world population.
The game is set in 2029, after the so-called “Incident of the Augments”, in which the systems of all those humans who installed cybernetic enhancements on their bodies out of control, turned violent and resulted in mass killings. Hence we cause a mixed impression: a sequel that should have come two years after the original and not 5, but is enjoyable despite its shorter duration, much weaker and unsatisfactory less ambitious scenario and history than its predecessor. However, the old elements of the franchise are here: conspiracies, moral dilemmas, multiple elections, secrecy and freedom of choice as to the completion of levels. It’s been 5 years since the last adventure of Adam Jensen, but, in terms of design, the latest installment is virtually identical to the previous one: in an industry that increasingly has given us more complex, immersive and open worlds, Mankind Divided commitment a formula which, although still effective, is clearly exceeded.
Sequel to the hit title of 2011 and fourth installment in a franchise of worship in gaming, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a continuation arriving too late to do so little novel over its predecessor.
