But there's an intelligence to Mankind Divided's backdrop, a depth of insight that the twist-driven plot never really unearths, for all the cutscene moralising about human rights and tyranny, and there are times when the writing veers from passably sharp into woefully clumsy. There's nothing inherently objectionable about this setup, of course, and there's certainly nothing wrong with a more responsive, freeform take on Human Revolution's mix of hacking, acrobatics, gunplay and stealth, which puts much more emphasis on verticality and doles out seismic new "Overclock" augmentations to boot. If the components of Deus Ex appeal, Breach is a pleasing bonus offering. It also has an intriguing progression curve - the Palisade AI alters the odds over time to counter your playstyle. Breach mode ports over the bulk of weapons, augs and hazards from the campaign, but adds leaderboards, randomised reward packs and optional map modifiers. Held together by a grating but not entirely dissatisfying sidestory about hackers breaking into the Palisade Bank, it's a chance for the game's level designers to experiment without constraint.

Once you're done with Mankind Divided's main story, you might want to check out the online-only Breach mode, a set of arcade challenge maps dolled up to look like Tron movie sets. It is, however, often content to be something more comfortable and less subtle - a pulsing cyberpunk conspiracy thriller that transports you from the sand-trapped decadence of a crumbling Dubai to a base drilled into the belly of a glacier. There is, it turns out, an app for this, and it's built right into Jensen's cranium.ĭeus Ex: Mankind Divided is, then, a game with things to say about the politics and technology of perception, and it occasionally says those things through Jensen's very toolset. The ramifications of this filtering are addressed obliquely in one of the later side missions, when a cop declares that she can justify dragging augmented citizens from their homes because she perceives them to be "historical outliers", abstractions thrown under the wheels of progress, rather than sentient beings. You don't see the threatening graffiti, the holoscreens that blare ceaselessly about "augmented terrorism", the cheery ads for antidepressants or the fetishising of prosthetic limbs in the city's red light district - just shapes and surfaces, colour-coded for tactical gain.

You see ventilation ducts you can access to sneak behind a cluster of viewcones on your radar, terminals you can crack to assume control of an automated turret, walls you can breach to avoid a gas pocket or pool of electrified water. Thanks to smart vision, you no longer see the enforcers crushing skulls against riot vans at intersections, the blood on the cobblestones. It purges the game's bustling dystopia of the believably recreated exploitation and oppression other locals have no choice but to witness. In that context, using smart vision - an ability you must choose to unlock, after your augs are accidentally reset, Metroid-style, to factory default early in the game - comes to feel like a sort of class betrayal, a distancing of yourself from the suffering of fellow cyborgs. Jensen is now an Interpol agent based in Prague, running down terrorists and levelling himself up while pursuing a private vendetta against the Illuminati, a fat cat collective who want to bring the transhuman generation to heel. Mankind Divided is set in the midst of a global backlash against the mechanically augmented, following an outbreak of remotely-triggered mass psychosis at the conclusion of the previous game. It's possible to hack terminals using point-and-click Omni-Tools, but they can only be used once and take up inventory room.

If you want to explore the layouts in full and appreciate the backstory, invest in active camo and hacking augmentations early on. Most people have to see the world for what it is. Because most people in the Deus Ex universe aren't as fortunate as Adam Jensen. But if smart vision is a well-worn mechanic, and expressive of an old tension between the stories such worlds seek to tell and what you actually do in them, the narrative also charges the act of peeling away visual noise with unusual import. And as in many other games, it's a trick that somewhat undermines the art direction, letting you cut through heaps of evocative, storied detailing - the brutalist corporate sculptures that adorn the sinister Palisade Bank, or the crates of fruit and circuitboards that line the corridors of Golem City - at the touch of a button. It's a trick you're almost certainly familiar with from other stealth-oriented games, including 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
