Played recently over a Xbox Series X using FPS boost mode and absolutely loved it. As expected from a Deus Ex, it excels in giving you many options for achieving your goals, engaging characters and thrilling situations. Regarding upgrades I felt that those could impact how far you would reach to all the secrets in the environment (the conversation upgrade is very interesting). You have a main city hub which lots of interactions, side and main quests with some traditional visits to other places. I enjoyed pretty much all of them, but there are some side-quests which will stick with you. Normally I prefer a stealth approach in this type of game, but the combat is so good with a variety of weapons and mods, that I spent like 50% stealth and the rest in combat. You will get the expected achievements if you prefer a non-lethal and stealth approaches and more I understand that some people won't like the ending as this fits as a big part in the middle of the main character story. Personally I really liked it as I tend to prefer the middle of the journey instead of the end, and enjoying all the connections to the other Deus Ex games stories. This game delivers and found the ending (which changes based on you actions) satisfying. Looking forward to more Deus Ex games. Well done Eidos Montreal

I was thinking to give it 4 stars because of the glitches. But frankly thinking about how much I enjoyed/still enjoy the game (Playing on XboxSeriesX) and that rarely I got immersion-breaking bugs that forced me to reload, I must confess that this game has been my secret pleasure for the last month. It has many elements from Deux Ex/Vampire Bloodlines and games of that sort, in a open world where you can jump from vehicles to the roof of buildings and much more options to tackle the missions. I like that the character progression is organic in a way that you don't have to add points in a category, but instead you need to think about a combination of them (E.g. Cool, Body & Handguns for an stealth assassin with silenced pistol. The graphics/art are very good, and you can play in performance mode. There are a lot of missions with different resolutions, and the game encourages free-roam exploration instead of following markers in the map. For example if something important is happening near you, you will get NPC dialog/call from a fixer...or something else. The game might not have the finesse in certain aspects as other existing games. I would say some mechanics might be broken, but as a whole there isn't anything like Cyberpunk and it is uber-fun. Looking forward to additional content.

It was mind-blowing. Truly recommended.
