Every time you have to use the metro to navigate to different areas of Prague, the militarized police will constantly be stopping you to check your papers. Prague isn’t as big or as sprawling as Detroit or Hengsha was in Human Revolution, but the confined and oppressed feeling is almost reminiscent of City 17 from Half-Life 2. These terms are used often and reinforce the segregation between normals and augments. Walking around, you’ll see a fair amount of graffiti with derogatory terms for augmented humans such as “clanks” or “wrenches”. So by the end of the video, you’ll be brought up to speed, even if you haven’t played the game prior to.Īfter the introduction of events that unfold in Dubai, you’ll be taken back to your new home in Prague, the center of the Czech Republic as a Counter-Terrorist Agent within Interpol. Before you start the game proper, you can watch a video package highly detailing those events – all 12 minutes of it. Fears were realized after the “Aug Incident” that cemented what normal people thought of augmented humans, these are people who either were born with defects or suffered catastrophic limb loss, could be repaired by technologically advanced prosthetics. Since the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, things have gone from bad to worse. This is where the action becomes the vehicle that carries you through this compelling story of “Naturals” vs “Augs”. Despite the lessons being taught here, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has some wonderfully slick gameplay that lets you be loud or stealthy, and lethal or non-lethal. The game carefully dilutes this allegory of modern context into something entertaining, and while there’s not much to really gain from what transpires, it does shed some light on how these fears can lead to racial tension. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a darker game to that of Deus Ex: Human Revolution where fear, hatred, and paranoia of augmented humans has reached new heights whereby segregation has returned, and is a low-point in human history once more.
