There is also Dark Souls that I've only ever heard people rave about how 
difficult (in a good way) and rewarding it is - might be worth a look. 
Although I hear you really need an Xbox-type controller to get the most 
out of it, as the PC port mouse /keyboard controls are bad. (That does 
not sound encouraging, but the game itself does get mostly great reviews)

The original Deus Ex is looking better than ever these days with the New 
Vision mod. I need to find time to get into a replay of this! -

You can of course get the game on GOG, or Steam if you prefer, and you 
probably should, if you like the setting of dark futuristic conspiracy. 
One of the defining games of RPG/FPS crossovers. I'm also reminded of 
System Shock 2, which was recently released on GOG. (Both games have 
this eerie, lurking sentient AI which freaked me out at the time :-D )
