Deus Ex: Human Revolution and its sequel Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was a great reboot of the series, but what do you think of the original Deus Ex?

It was a Game of the Year contender in 2000, but what about in 2024? Is it still worth playing? Or are the gameplay and graphics a bit too… dated.

If it’s still worth playing, are there any mods to help make the game more tolerable for today’s standards?

    I throw a few hi res textures on Morrowind and oblivion and play them through every couple of years. If the game is good, then it’s good.

        I haven’t tried to play hl1 again, but Morrowind is amazing and the modding community is amazing, I clock a good 200 hours every time, and I still went over a hundred thirty on a vanilla playthrough four years ago.

          Just so I can say this as many times as possible since I’m still crazy about Morrowind, the modding community adds things in Morrowind like fantasy setting lamp posts between cities with ambient gradient light, high res night sky, or even just distance relative water sounds from rivers and waterfalls, small touches that make the entire game seem new.
