The troubled protagonistįast-forward to Mankind Divided, As an augmented agent Adam Jensen with accompanying augmented powers, find’s himself working for Task Force 29, a team dedicated to stopping augmented terrorist threats which have occurred as retaliation for the mistreatment of augmented people. The owner of Sarif Industries, David Sarif took this opportunity to test out exactly how far they could augment a human being, using Jensen’s dismembered body. Serving under Sarif Industries as head of securities in Human Revolution, he was severely injured by a Black Ops team known as the Tyrants who were hired by a collective hell-bent on controlling the world, the Illuminati. NPC’s either whisper derogatory statements under their breath or straight up aim their hate speech at you, making you either dull to their slurs or constantly enraged, I was somewhere in-between.Īdam Jensen, the lead protagonist in the game, embodies the general stereotype of a badass soldier - quiet, ever serious, and highly-driven with an extreme sense of duty. The scenes you witness begin to give you a what if view on apartheid if it were dragged into the year 2031. Even the city of Prague, where most of the game takes place sees augmented segregated from the rest of society. These slums are filled with despair, hate and anger, all along the streets you can see augmented people littering the roads like trash on a sidewalk. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is set two years after the endings of Human Revolution New slums have been established in retaliation to the wrongful attacks for the sole purpose of dumping augmented humans or as they like to refer to them, clanks. Humankind has turned cold toward its augmented brothers after augmented people were forced to violently attack innocents around them due to hacked biochips. This arcade-style mode dispenses with the story and character elements of the campaign and focuses on speedrunning and perfecting different levels.Two years have gone by since the multiple endings to Human Revolution (no matter what ending you received, it doesn’t seem to affect this sequel). In addition to the main campaign, there is another mode called "Breach". Crafting parts can also be used to make special items such as mine templates and multitools, which can hack into any terminal. Guns can be customized on the fly using crafting materials gathered by exploring the game world. Some of the new augmentations offer additional weapons, including a blade projectile and an electric weapon which knocks out several enemies at once. There are many weapons available for the player to use, including several different types of guns and grenades. The game utilizes the same hybrid first/third-person combat system seen in Human Revolution, with the camera moving to third-person whenever Jensen is pressed against cover. Due to their untested and unauthorized nature, the player must deactivate one of Jensen's original augmentations in order to use one of these. In addition to most of the augmentations from Human Revolution, several new "experimental" augmentations are available. These augmentations give Jensen abilities such as turning invisible, strength to lift heavy objects, and hacking into higher-level terminals. Various actions, such as completing quests, finding alternate routes, hacking terminals, and neutralizing enemies earn the player Praxis points, which they can use to activate Jensen's mechanical augmentations. This division is known as the "mechanical apartheid".Īs with the previous game, players will investigate the bombing by speaking to characters, exploring the environment, and completing missions however they choose. The world is heavily divided between those with augmentations and those who do not, with the latter fearing the former following the ending of the previous game. Set two years after the events of Human Revolution, Mankind Divided follows that game's protagonist, Adam Jensen, on a new adventure as he investigates a subway bombing in Prague. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the fourth main entry in the Deus Ex series, and the direct sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
