The recent Deus Ex games aren't fun and are overly reliant on praxis kits and leveling in a specific way

I would argue that it probably is the best representation of discrimination in any game so far. IMO one of the best games ever, a masterpiece.
I'm struggling OP. In Human Revolution I never needed to buy any ammo and easily had enough more than enough money to buy all the praxis kits for sale, let alone 1,000 for that quest.
I also never, ever was unable to complete a quest because I didn't have a particular upgrade. The game is deliberately designed to make that impossible.
Are you just running and gunning your way through the main questline?

The Wii U controller is quite clunky for that type of game. I like the touchscreen menus in that version but I hate how the hardest setting removes the aiming reticle. On PC, you can turn it on and off regardless of difficulty.
I always felt like there were various ways of approaching things. In MD, I remember jumping over movable crates in order to avoid getting electrocuted to cross an area, and the whole thing put a smile across my face.
Mankind Divided made me want to play the original Deus Ex, and I loved that too. I wish they'd remaster it and port Human Revolution to PS4.

That's a serious recommendation. Thank you. The franchise has clearly come a long way since Letitia, the ill-considered stereotype in Human Revolution. In a sense, she was also representative of discrimination, but in the wrong way, Anyway, I've downloaded the game and I'm ready to go. Can't wait :)
The voice actress is black so I doubt she was trying to portray the character negatively. She was just bad at putting on an accent.
Nah man. When they attack the capsule hotel it is definitely time to kill everyone.
The point of immersive sims is usually to give you multiple ways to access a mission.
If its a password you need, there's usually notes with it around the level for those with low hacking skill (or you can get it through NPC dialogue outside the mission area), for example. Secret vents can take you to a lot of rooms too. There's almost always another way, even if its creative and "breaking" the game, that's kind of the point.

Is this the whole completionist mentality issue? Because I don't understand how somebody who wants to do everything wouldn't have enough money and supplies.
It's the only time I choose to be violent, but you can still totally sneak out, if that's your thing.
If you have the ILS aug, you can drop right down and book it to the laundry exit, too.
I haven't played Human Revolution in a very long time, and I don't remember having that issue, so I can't comment on that. But I'm playing through Mankind Divided and I'd disagree.
If anything, I went around with unspent praxis points for a very long time (9-15 of them) since I never really needed any abilities besides hacking up to level 3 or so. I'm swimming in omnitools and can craft more. I've been saving and reloading to try all the different ways to approach some of the scenarios because there's a lot of flexibility. I've had fun moving heavy objects out of the way by wedging small objects and jiggling them.
I finally have a bunch of abilities, and they mostly feel like extras that make the game more fun, but are definitely not required. I also have way too much of everything.

It's not the colour of the voice actor that troubled me, it's the writing and delivery. I'd be surprised if a black person wrote her lines or directed her performance. Letitia is an anachronism, a ludicrous Mammy figure. I winced every time she spoke.
I watched this yesterday thanks to your post, and I really loved this review. Deus Ex is my all-time favourite game and I hold it up with almost unfair reverence. This video helped me see that yeah, a good bunch of it is nonsensical and silly, but what's special about Deus Ex, what I liked about it 18 years ago - is still something no other game has matched.
Human Revolution was one of the most inventive gaming experiences I'd had in a long long while. The only shortcoming I can recall were that the boss fights felt too cheap. Masterpiece of a game, one of my all time favorites.
Mankind Divided felt like Human Revolution but with prettier graphics and less fun factor. Still solid.
I have no idea what OP os talking about, but I also loved Invisible War so what do I know

I mean, you're right, but who plays Deus Ex for the gunplay and enemy AI? :P
Human Revolution gave multiple options, the problem is you end up solving every mission the same 1-2 ways.
Mankind Divided was much better than Human Revolution but both games are still trillions of light years behind the original and I'd prefer they just stop making them since they will never come close to the original.
