Sights up, Blam, Blam, Blam… Blam Blam Blam, the two men are now dead. Even early on it was starting to feel like the game didn’t want me to run through, all guns blazing, but I bumble through the hack and open the door. Tweet pictures of your imaginations to hacking mini-game prevented me from assaulting two guards I’d spotted through my Aug Vision. You play the game, look at that hole, then try to picture Jensen’s body position as he jumps through it. There’s no reason to be pondering this so much, but Eidos Montreal should have made the hole bigger so this line of thinking never occurred. I can’t see how due to the first-person perspective, but I imagine it was something similar to how sprinters tackle hurdles in the 110 metres while also ducking. It’s a small hole, though to my eyes too small for a big man like Jensen to fit through. It’s not long before I’m clear of the vent (although something tells me it won’t be the last time I enter one) and smashing a hole in a wall using my augmented fist. After countless save reloads and years later, I’m still stuck in that vent. I got flashbacks to the time I found myself stuck inside a toilet in Human Revolution, hidden in a vent blocked at both ends by an army of enemies. Within seconds I was crawling through a ventilation shaft. Armed with a Combat Rifle that fires proper bullets, I was ready to shoot everything. I scoffed at the initial option to go into battle with a non-lethal weapon and then jumped out of a combat chopper to reach my target zone. Taking cover is fine, but no ghosting or whatever stealth aficionados like to call it. I’d kill everyone who I deemed an enemy, using whatever means I had available – ideally a gun or grenade or knife attack, but a cone or large box if it came to it. I used the time to come up with some rules. I almost lost interest and abandoned the idea while watching the opening recap movie, but I stuck with it in order to bring you this report (it was probably skippable, but I didn’t look and had I skipped it I’d have had nothing to moan about to start this paragraph). Is Mankind Divided still a good game if you don’t care about being a pacifist? Is it still fun if you’d rather shoot first and think about hiding later? Can I shout offensive expletive-riddled cusses at people because it’s the internet and I can do anything on the internet? I was going to find out. But what if you hate stealth? Deus Ex: Mankind Divided includes a control preset that’s designed for traditional FPS fans, so I chose to play the game like I’d play Call of Duty (‘badly – ho ho ho ho, very funny). The game is sitting with a Metacritic in the mid 80s, with a lot of praise being given to the stealth gameplay. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has, on the whole, been well received by critics.
