They say that every time someone mentions Deus Ex, someone somewhere will reinstall and play it. While graphics have not held up, they were bad when it was released, the story is what makes Deus Ex still stand out. Its story telling, level design, and sense of humor, have created benchmarks that modern games try to emulate. Back in 2001, I received a free copy of it with a purchase of a nVidia Geforce 3 Ti500. I spent hours exploring and finding new ways to do things. In my opinion, despite its age, this game is still the best PC game ever made. SGT (Join to see) SrA Edward Vong SN Greg Wright

If you like story-driven games like that, check out Dragon Age or Mass Effect series (Fantasy and sci-fi rpg's, respectively). They're awesome. For now, I'm working my way through xcom 2.

I still have yet to play any of the Deus Ex games. I should definitely try it out.

SrA Edward Vong Definitely missing out. They are awesome. The first one was so ground breaking, that the rest of the series has not measured up. 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution comes close. I can't give an opinion on the newest one yet. I just got it for Christmas and have not played it yet.

I tried to start the game once, and was immediately confused by the mechanics. As I recall, I wasn't really sure what I was doing. A very uncommon problem for me. I enjoy figuring out complex games when it feels rewarding to do so. Maybe I should give it another shot.

SPC (Join to see) Of course I am biased, but I would definitely give it another shot. Since this game is from the "early days". the first thing I do is rebind the keys into something that makes sense. One of the things that I suggest for modern gamers when playing a retro game for the first time is Youtube and do not be afraid to start over.
I personally like the Revision mod. It gave the game just a touch of modernity while keeping true to the original.
