I've found some areas like the city, way to linear and simple to navigate but I also had a similar issue to the original Deus Ex in that regard. It comes down to whether you can reliably choose different approaches to avoiding enemies and achieving your objectives. What makes or breaks the game is the level design, I've talked about the importance of this many times before. You won't even know these bad guys unless you read the Icarus Effect. Sneaking players can't even hack turrets or get passed. Bosses have no backstory & you are forced to kill them. Many things you can't interact with, emphasis on graphics means alot less objects with physics which hampers the realism. Readables are all about science & not the more interesting subjects like philosophy, theology, like transhumanism ect Allowing you to choose your own playstyle was crucial to the Deus Ex experience, but somehow they didn't figure out that assigning different amounts of XP to different playstyles encourages you to play a certain way. AI can behave stupidly on more than one occasion. It also makes the Stealth Enhancer aug useless. So you can see around corners without having to expose myself ie makes the game easier. No lean keys, instead you have to use a 3rd person cover system. Forced you with auto health regeneration & 25m radar. +A few different routes to take & ways to tackle the objectives, thus allowing you to play how you like, which is essential to Deus Ex. +Interesting story and many mini choices to make that can affect the storyline in various ways. +Exciting combat & very immersive experience Also get typhoon for boss if you want to save a shit load of inventory space by not having to carry around that huge rocket launcer and it's limited ammo.+Many different ways to augment yourself that are all viable In my opinion Hacking5/hacking stealth, cloak, and fast energy recharge is the best hands down and pretty much all you need to beat the game. It's even better than the rocket launcher which takes up 1/3 of your inventory. You also dont have to aim with typhoon, just spam it near the boss like 2 or 3 times and he's done, and if you're playing combat style, it takes out everyone near you in one blast. You can only carry 3 mines for every 2 inventory space, grenades take up 1 space each, Typhoon however, can stack 5 per 2 slot and does massive damage. Typhoon is by far not the worst aug, in fact it's one of the best. There was only 3 augmentations I didn't max (the 2 eyes and hacking anylze). I did takedowns on every thug, enemies, guards, and even all the cops in the police stations and hacked everything that could be hacked in the game and that was enough to nearly max out all my augmentations. Although you can get a few extra hidden items, it was no where near the amount I got from hacking. Jump, strength, and punch through walls I got but hardly used them until the last level. In every room or part of the game there's always a safe place to scope out the area and see where everyone is at and plan tactics accordingly. Radar 2 was completely useless to me and I beat the game on hard without it. Just save those praxis points for a more useful aug.Īlthough there's no wrong choices, everyone has their own preferred perks for their play style, I have to disagree with some of these. This trick even works on the hardest setting. Just toss three or four landmines and you will kill all but the last boss in seconds. A lot of people think it is great against bosses but landmines are far more useful. It costs you a battery and you need to carry ammo for it. Typhoon Explosive System - Probably the worst aug in the game. Jump Enhancement - Nice for helping you get to those out of each places. Move/Throw Heavy Objects - Extremely useful to help you get around without being spotted. It pays for itself and gives you a bonus. Punch Through Wall - I've gotten 2 praxis kits hidden in sewers because of this aug. Recharge Rate Upgrade 2 - The recharge rate is far to slow but this helps make it a little less painful. Hacking Stealth 3 - This makes hacking easier and will allow you to sell off most of your nukes and worms. Hacking Capture 5 - Hacking will will give you easy access to locations, exp, money, and items. Radar 2 - Very useful no matter what your style.
