It pains me that this game will almost certainly never receive the true sequel it deserved. Art being malformed by development hell is always a tragedy.

the whole thing, pretty much
I played the og Deus Ex at a pretty pivotal time for me, and it really helped give me the tools to look at institutions I took for granted in new ways

But HR, like, doesn't even really know what it wants to be about at its core
DX was specifically about govt structures, IW was about societal structures, and HR is about "augmentation" but that's everything from abortion metaphors to poverty to racism to [societal ill]
