But I don’t play Deus Ex that way, and you probably don’t either. Players who like to solve problems by shooting them can use Focus Enhancement to briefly slow time, or Titan to cover themselves in thick armour for a few seconds. There are seven new augmentations to play with. At least until you find a certain item in an optional mission. But there’s a catch: to activate one of these new augs you have to sacrifice an existing one, otherwise Jensen’s systems will become unstable. I like this because it gives you the opportunity to recreate your character from Human Revolution, even though there’s no save transfer option, or create a new one. He also performs a convenient factory reset, giving you a generous pool of Praxis points to spend on reconfiguring your augmentations from scratch. Koller activates them, which is a neat way of giving you a bunch of new toys to play with. It’s during your repairs that a range of experimental new augs are found lying dormant in Jensen’s body. Getting to him is your first real test, as his lab-which is hidden under a bookshop-is crawling with gangsters who you need to either take out or sneak past.įor stealth fans, the new Remote Hacking tool (which has been lifted straight from BioShock 2) is a must-have. So he has to visit a new ally called Václav Koller, an eccentric underground augmentation expert, to get himself fixed. You can see the remains of one in the city, but it’s boarded up and covered in anti-aug graffiti. Before the Aug Event he could have strolled into a LIMB clinic for repairs, but there aren’t any in Prague for obvious reasons. In Prague Jensen is caught up in a terrorist bombing at a train station and his augmentations are damaged.

What gives? That’s a series tradition! It makes no sense, of course, for Jensen to wander around his office nicking stuff and crawling around in the ventilation system unchallenged. But no one told me off for going into the ladies’ bathroom. I spent a good hour in here sneaking through vents into people’s offices, reading their emails, stealing credit chips off their desks and talking to my colleagues. I love Task Force 29’s HQ as well, which is Mankind Divided’s equivalent of UNATCO or Sarif Industries, and looks like CTU from 24. Even so, it’s a remarkable feat of world-building, evocatively illustrating just how hard and hopeless life is for augmented people in this grim vision of the future. When I first arrived I thought I’d be spending a lot more time there, that it would be much bigger, but it’s really just an elaborate introduction to one of the main story missions. It’s one of my favourite locations in the Deus Ex series so far, inspired by Hong Kong’s infamous Kowloon Walled City, but it’s not a proper hub. Jensen briefly visits Golem City, a ghetto built on the outskirts of the Czech capital to house augmented people. Perhaps they just didn’t have the time or resources to create another location as detailed as Prague, which is understandable. It takes the sting out of there only being one city, but I would still have liked to see more of this world. A new district opens up, and extra missions become available.
This gives it a very different look and feel. In the first act you explore it during daylight hours, but later you get to see it at night.
Jensen will embark on a mission, returning home to find a different spin on the city. To make up for the single hub, Prague is remixed several times over the course of the game. Seconds later the entire police force was hunting me down and trying to kill me. I had a strange moment where I tasered a guy robbing a store at gunpoint, thinking I was doing a good deed, and a cop saw me. Although they will react to any crimes you commit. A scene will play where they demand to see your papers, but that’s it. For example, entering a metro station through the naturals-only entrance, or getting on the wrong train carriage. The police presence in Prague is never a real obstacle, but there are certain situations where they’ll bother you.
