At some point, Pritchard even seemed to have come to care for Adam. So, no change there.īut, remember Francis “Frank” Pritchard, chief of cyber security at Sarif Industries, that nagging little voice in Adam’s head that used to accompany him on his missions in Deus Ex: Human Revolution? I loved how their relationship developed and changed over the course of the game. But then, he’s been a loner ever since we’ve known him. As the only augmented member of the team he’s an outsider. When we first meet him it becomes clear that he’s joined an anti-terrorism-unit of Interpol, though how and why is left unclear at first. And so he submits to the segregation, to my mind, all too willingly. As a cop, he realises that Augmented, especially ones as capable as he is, are seen as threats. What caught my attention is that he has apparently accepted the Aug-Natural conflict and its consequences. “This” being military-grade augmentations that turned him into a stealthy killing-machine. “I once thought I could save the world…” Adam Jensen’s opening line perfectly fits his character at the beginning of this latest adventure and I think it’s almost as good a line as the iconic “I never asked for this.”. Not for the cause of the Augmented, that is… And Adam Jensen? Does not really fight at all. So, after the world-changing events that ended Deus Ex: Human Revolution on an incredibly bitter-sweet note, the Augmented are fighting a losing battle for keeping their rights. And since we all know that both Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are set before the original Deus Ex, it isn’t necessarily getting any better.įor those who haven’t played it, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided offers a well-done recap of the previous game, right before we literally dive into the tutorial mission in Dubai.Īdam Jensen, plunging head-first into his latest adventure…
Now, after the Aug Incident initiated by Hugh Darrows, Augmented people find themselves victims of a paranoid society that condems them all as potential terrorists. “Oh, how the mighty have fallen.” Two years ago the Augmented were the spearhead of self-controlled evolution, augments themselves served as status symbols for the rich. I have just finished my third playthrough on “Give me Deus Ex” and here are some of my thoughts on this game, which I have been very much looking forward to these past few months. And while I swore to myself that I would wait until summer’s end before I played the sequel, I, of course, ended up playing on August 23rd already… On Twitter, someone recently mentioned that they bought a PS4 just to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and I found myself smiling in sympathy, because I bought a PS3 just to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution, one of my most favorite games ever.
