According to Steam, I've played it for... 91 minutes, and I don't recall particularly enjoying myself. IT played too much like a bad reskin of Assassin's Creed, and seemed more focused on the mechanics of the game than atmosphere or story. But it probably didn't help that I had just come off another huge open-world game (Witcher 3), so I think I should give it another chance. Which I will... some day. >Other than Shadow of Mordor, I played just a little Deus Ex Mankind >Divided. Started the previously pre-order exclusive "Desperate >Measures". Annoyingly you don't have much of augmentations or weapons so >it's sneak city. I'd at least like to have a choice on how to approach >this. DE:MD was added to my collection during the recent holiday-sales buying frenzy, but I've held off from playing it, largely because reviews indicated it had a lackluster story with a disappointing ending. I think I am waiting for the publishers to release the DLC that adds a proper conclusion to the tale before I play.
