Deus Ex (PC/2000) Guessed by S.Peelman
Is it me or do people not talk about Deus Ex a lot? I hardly ever see it included in top 10 video game lists. Maybe that's why it took me so long to discover. When I signed up for Steam, Deus Ex was one of the first few games I purchased. So far it's been the best investment I've made there. It's hard to describe Deus Ex in detail because its story is so good it should never be spoiled, and because the game belongs to so many different genres. It's part stealth action game, part first-person shooter, part role-playing game. It's certainly one of the most transcendent video games of all time, one that goes beyond the limitations of any particular genre, indeed one that goes beyond the limitations of video games and charts a new course for interactive art. It's that good. And it's that important. Deus Ex is defined by choices, small and large, each of which determines one's reputation, one's abilities and items, and one's ultimate future in the game world. It's a game of ideas, first and foremost. Perhaps that's why it still shines so brightly today.
