I won’t go too in-depth with the actual theme of the story as it is pretty much an entire review on its own but I have written a piece about it entitled: The mechanical apartheid of Deux go read it once you are done reading this review.
#Deus ex mankind divided shooting range crash series#
Deus Ex is a series that has always tackled themes like racism, apartheid, terrorism, transhumanism, conspiracy theories, you name it and never shied away from controversial topics. This has segregated the world into two groups, the normal’s people without robotic augmentation and the augmented.Īugmented people are now treated as second-class citizens, as they are segregated and separated from normal people and sent to Golem City heights a slum for those augmented people who are viewed as being unfit to be part of normal society. It’s easy to spot the parallels between this “mechanical apartheid” and the apartheid experienced in South Africa pre 1994. The events that happened at the end of Human Revolution is now being referred to as the “The Aug Incident” were augmented people went on a rampage due to a virus infection killing millions of people. Now after a long 5 year hiatus Adam Jensen is back, and if you were worried that Eidos Montreal could not deliver on Human Revolution do not worry. Mankind Divided not only does the original justice, but it actually surpasses it in every way. Mankind Divided takes place two years after the events of Human Revolution. All the way back in 2011 Square Enix published Deus Ex: Human Revolution a new game in the long-running franchise to great fanfare and reception from gamer’s and reviewers.
