A mysterious third party gets involved, and a conspiracy is born. He’s a lone operative, a specialist called on for the most sensitive tasks, able to cut through the bureaucracy and get results. The game opens in medias res, with stoic protagonist Adam Jensen about to drop into a high-tension mission in a foreign land. In so many ways, Mankind Divided seeks to fill the quota of Deus Ex proper. Throughout my time with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, I couldn’t help but think back on Patrick Lindsey’s statement that sequels should be interpretive rather than mimetic endeavors.
The whole of Mankind Divided is a truncated version of the series, an entertaining romp instead of an introspective experience. It foresaw the rise of the Patriot Act, the growth of constitutional liberalism and the repercussions of a state turned to paranoia.ĭeus Ex: Mankind Divided is the serialization of these concepts, a game willing to evoke contention without a desire to act on it. The original 2000 game was a milestone for many, and spoke in a manner that still resonates today. Deus Ex has rarely shied away from controversy.
