Deus Ex is set in the year 2052 and we follow JC Denton, as he uncovers many conspiracies. Some of the choices that you make can have consequences later on in the game.
What separates Deus Ex from other games of its era is the emphasis on player choice. There are lots of different ways to complete each mission. You can play stealthy, shoot enemies with a variety of different weapons or hack the security systems to turn the turrets against your enemies.
Deus Ex blends first-person shooter, stealth and RPG elements exceptionally well. At the start of the game you barely have any skills but you can spend skill points to level up computer, weapons, lock-picking, hacking skills among others. Augmentations play a big role in the game. These are abilities that can be upgraded to regenerate health, increase mobility, reduce damage to name a few.
One of the best qualities of the game is the soundtrack. Each mission has 5 tracks, ambient, combat, death, conversation and outro. Some personal favourites include UNATCO - Ambient, NYC Streets - Ambient and The Synapse - Ambient. These really give the game an immersive and great atmosphere.
One of the very few drawbacks is the lip syncing, it rarely matches what the character is saying but doesn't take anything away from the experience.
Easily one of the all-time greats of gaming.
