Yes but it really took me out of the game. I'm an OG Deus Ex fan but that game played and felt different from HR.

It's easier and more fun to stealth around, hack, and go invisible then slit someone's throat quietly and drag them into an air duct.

Steath wasnt done all so well. Felt unnatural compared to games who did it well like Splinter Cell and Hitman.

MD plot:

The sequel to Human Revolution, titled Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which is set two years after the events of Human Revolution, was revealed on April 8, 2015. The labyrinthine plot of the upcoming game shows that after the Panchaea Incident, augmentations were heavily opposed by the public and augmented people are being forcibly segregated by the non-augmented, which has led in a divided world. Adam Jensen collaborates with an INTERPOL-funded task force to deal with the threat of augmented terrorists who have sprung up in response to this backlash. His new-found allegiance is to eventually become tested when he meets a mysterious global hacktivist group which is holding its very own set of shadowy interests. Following his discovery of the Illuminati in the year 2027, Jensen is determined to bring down the shadowy group by almost any means possible. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was originally set for a release date of February 23, 2016, but was delayed until August 23, 2016,[126] exactly 5 years after the release of Human Revolution.

It has been so long since I played the original Deus Ex or its sequel, but I felt like Human Revolution missed the boat on what Deus Ex was supposed to be. The game advertises the ability to play how you want yet the deck is heavily stacked against any other play style aside from stealth then you have pretty significant XP bonuses associated with finishing a mission without killing anyone which seems to clearly favor one style of play over another.

Then you have PS2-era animations which I won't go into

I agree about the game being slanted towards stealth but the kills were sick in that game.

I played the original deus ex and replayed it about 10-15 times. I loved it.

HR was amazing to me. It reminded me of the original in tone while completely refreshing game play.

If they improve on a couple of things (ie make it feel like it's not a square enix game) this will be GOTY to a lot of people. Myself included.

I haven't played any of the games in this series and will probably pass on this till it's on sale.

I am intrigued by the stealth gameplay though

This is not what I'm talking about.

Sadly, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

If it's anything like splinter cell or MSG, I'm sure I will
