Now that Deus Ex has been cancelled, what other games scratch the Deus Ex itch?

Now that Deus Ex has been cancelled, what other games scratch the Deus Ex itch? - lemm.ee

It’s kind of sad that one of the greates video game series is on hold for now. Conspiracy theories, multiple ways of solving a mission, game lore hidden in computer inboxes… Are there any (pre-2010) games that gave you the same feeling or do a similar thing?

Well, it is from 2010. But I will still recommend Alpha Protocol.

AP is one of the greatest RPGs of all time with amazing mechanics, your choices really matter and the dialogues are amazing. But at the same time the mechanics are janky AF, some skills are bonkers and the graphics are mediocre even for the era.

A must play in my book!

I thought it reviewed badly? Or is it one of those games that bombs on release and then it grows on people?

It reviewed badly, but there’s actually a gem of a game hiding in there. A lot of the gameplay feels clunky, but the RPG aspects are really well done (it’s Obsidian, they’re kind of good at that). It’s a spy game that lets you decide whether you’re James Bond, Jason Bourne, or Jack Bauer, and really respects those choices in the way the story plays out.
