  I would have much preferred a sequel to Mankind Divided or a remaster of Human Revolution than that mistake of an Avengers game.

  As a Czech person I found the npcs of Mankind Divided very funny. Some of them talk perfect Czech while others talk in English with a THICC Russian accent.

  One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention is how Mankind Divided somewhat fixes one of your complaints of Human Revolution's story - why everyone got augmented. A big part of MD is how lots of poor workers got augmented in order to get/keep jobs, where augmented workers were needed for complicated tasks. That angle of augments being imposed on the poor in order to compete is actually quite interesting, IMO - basically that bodily autonomy is a privilege for the rich in a world of augments.

  You haven't played Deus Ex correctly unless you've turned on every faucet in every apartment.

  Fun fact, the voice actor for Adam Jensen, Elias Toufexis, used his normal speaking voice for the character of Jensen for the deus ex games. <br><br>So its not actually him putting on a batman voice, thats just how he speaks.

  I don&apos;t know what makes me more sad, &nbsp;how deus ex parallels with the modern world or we will probably never get a resolution to the tragic life of Adam Jensen

  Your idea of having contextual quest markers based on what your character actually knows is a great one and something I&apos;d love to see in games.

  Mankind Divided didn&apos;t grab me at release (I stopped about 2/3 of the way through), but I convinced myself to restart it this summer and ended up playing through it twice. It&apos;s.... so much better than I remembered or expected, and honestly, I think it may be the best immersive sim to date when it comes to moment to moment gameplay, exploration, and environmental detail. I liked the story more than I expected, but it&apos;s the way it shows you the world through its environments (one of many ways in which the game rewards exploration) that makes it truly special. I really hope Eidos Montreal gets to complete the story at some point.

  The defining factor of an immersive sim is having a keypad with 0451 in it, right?
