Deus Ex PC Games

When this game was released back in 2000, the RPS (Role Playing Shooter) genre was in it's infancy. This game was brought to you by some of the brilliant minds that also brought you the System Shock games (of which Bioshock was a supposed 'spiritual successor' to). Deus Ex offered you mind blowing choice long before nearly every other FPS available. The game was crafted around a player approach system; you play this game the way you want to without feeling like these choices are even present. The games subtle but extremely varied approach to each given objective allows for some of the most immersive gameplay I have ever experienced. The game's soundtrack is the audio essence of Cyberpunk, and deepens the sense immsersion as you rapidly become embroiled in a world-wide conspiracy of which you become one of the pivotal roles. After loosing count of the number of times I have completed this game, I can still play through again and find something I had previously missed. The map areas are large but not so big you get lost in, the routes you can take are numerous but not obvious (allowing for great satisfaction when you find a hidden route), the voice acting is on par with AAA blockbusters, the RPG system is rock solid and encourages and rewards exploration, the locations take you all over the globe as each area sucks you deeper into the conspiring storyline, the story itself is brilliantly written, extremely engrossing and even tangible as the games 'near future' setting puts you in the middle of what may eventually happen in our own future. After a decade since its release, Deus Ex remains a pillar in the gaming world. It's formula often iterated but rarely imitated.
