What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players consistently praise Deus Ex's exceptional storytelling, world-building, and prescient themes that remain relevant decades later, with many citing its innovative player choice systems and level design as ahead of its time. However, nearly all reviewers note significant technical and control issues stemming from its age—dated gameplay mechanics, clunky keybinds, and janky systems that can frustrate modern players—though most feel the narrative quality makes these frustrations worthwhile if you can push through them.
good
Extremely difficult to get running in my experience with just as jank controls and systems mostly due to its age. Perhaps this is my age showing but I could not get into how everything flowed in gameplay when I wasn't fighting the game to keep it functioning. HOWEVER, the writing is genuinely just that good you should try to play it and if you can't due to modern system setups then please watch some youtube on the story.
TL;DR: Worthy. Took my "definitely-on-the-spectrum-ass" 84 hrs to complete my first ever playthrough of a game I keep hearing about for decades, while exploring every door, every dark corner, every secret, every book/newspaper/email/datapad, every dialogue option and all endings. Besides hearing about it being a "masterpiece", I started without expectations for a game from the year 00 and I kept getting surprised and immersed. Had an urge to "experience everything". The flavor/theme of the story is right up my alley. I imagine that in the year 00' many things depicted in the story sounded so weird and fictional... oh how times have changed ;-) Just shows how this game was ahead of its time. Gameplay itself and the settings (especially keybinds) are a bit dated, but it never ones broke on me (and I tried). Not a single crash. That says a lot. Patching the game to support modern resolutions and framerate was simple as dropping few files into the game directory, and I recommend everyone to do that.
UNATCO???
I mean come on, it's Deus Ex.
一款千禧年比我岁数还大的游戏，玩完却怅然若失。纵使26年过去，深邃的剧情和优异的玩法仍然毫不过时 deus ex 是一首近未来的寓言诗歌，预言了911，预言了疫情，预言了AI，以及在他们的冲击下社会与政治态势的可能演化，并且与科幻和阴谋论结合紧密 剧情方面： 游戏有高质量文本，其中对社会政治的评述与哲学相关的思辨尤为精彩，也有不少令人忍俊不禁的搞笑桥段 同赫利俄斯与墨菲斯的谈话发人深省，同时也与拉丁词组deus ex machina中截取的标题的deus ex非常契合，直接点题 Deus Ex这个标题同样很精妙，可以有不少解读 它可以是讽刺一切试图用“更高力量”简单解决复杂问题的叙事，也可以象征游戏内容 page、光明会和JC都可以通过控制全球的通讯网络和AI系统，成为凌驾于人类的“神”， 用科技实现永生、思想控制和社会重塑等等手段发挥神的职能——这正是“Deus ex machina”的现代版，也对应了融合结局末尾引用伏尔泰自己造神的名言 游玩方面： 作为最早提出IS理念的游戏，依旧强调玩家选择与反馈，系统化多路径多选择的玩法 选择会影响任务、NPC态度、世界状态和故事走向 各种Augmentations、技能与道具允许玩家尝试许多花样 但是AUG有RPG系统里常见的毛病，鸡肋升级陷阱。增强二选一也是个错误设计，这部分应该由玩家自行选择使用，而不是直接卡死一半，有多周目解锁的话会好很多 地图关卡巧妙，垂直设计丰富，宁做一尺深，不做一丈宽 优秀的故事构建通过邮件、书籍和对话自然传递大量信息，让探索本身成为乐趣 资源溢出是个问题，玩了SSRE和DX才明白掠食的回收系统有多先进，变废为宝，把游戏资源往自己的游玩方向转化 战斗和潜行又老又糙，敌人的AI也很简陋，不过没有什么非常影响体验的缺陷 qol一般，操作和按键上都有不少问题，还偶有BUG
