![]() many attribute the faults to Making the game for both pc and xbox (the only thing this changes is how big levels are, which are super small), but its more so the devs making mistakes. so many of the games faults either lie with misunderstanding what made the original good, and poor execution. I Think if i had to summarize Invisible war in two words it would be: Lost Potential. maybe lock some endings behind who you sided with, with both the WTO and Order (which the order shouldn't be a conglomerate of multiple religions, and instead should be baptist, since most religions originate from the bible, and work well the the Templars gimmick), and the illuminati/Templars/Apostlecorp. and beyond continuity issues (like how the world recovered from the "Collapse", and why the Collapse happened), this could've been just as good, if not better than the first game. its the same idea the first game had, but with way worse execution. there is a fourth ending, which is kill everyone (the Omar Ending), which a lot of people ended up choosing, because everyone else basically talks down to you, instead of providing convincing arguments. siding with anyone wont give you any reason to go alongside them, not Apostlecorp, not Illuminati, and especially not the Templars. the main problem with invisible war, is the fact it doesnt flesh out any of them. different reviews of the game reflect this, some saying Morgan Everetts ending is better, others going Helios, and some out there people side with tracer tong. this made the choice for which ending to do first harder, because instead of relying on blank moral choices, you have to evaluate your own philosophy on the topic. what made deus ex 1 so good was that towards the end, instead of (like every game) giving you a good, bad or neutral option, it presents 3 different sides, all with unique and specific ideals. the biggest problem with the story, beyond the pacing in that regard, is its lack of focus on characters and individual philosophies. there are plenty of videos that go into all its fault, so i may or may not repeat things others have said. ![]() This is the big thing people criticize the game for, and for mostly good reason. The Story: oh dear god i have to talk about this help me the big the biggest offender to all of this is how characters look, between Alex Dentons hairline, eyes that look either glued on or on crack, or some characters not getting shades like they deserve, one of the best aspects of the older game, the characters, feel like a step down, which leeds into the next section The art direction leans way more into Sci-Fi than the previous game, which is a double edged sword, it makes things look either way cooler, or way dumber, and it varies from person to person. Honestly i think the lighting in invisible war is better than most modern games by a landslide. Something easily gleamed from videos/screenshots is the amazing art direction and lighting. Graphics: the Environments are still amazing looking, the character models are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. the gunplay is fun, but universal ammo complicates choices and situations, the bio-mod system is a step up from augmentations, but between the removal of skills, to the overabundance of biomods, it makes the choice of how to build your character less fulfilling. TL DR, the gameplay is 1 step forward, two steps back in every area. you get 3 canisters in the first 30 minutes of the game, and by the time your halfway through, you might've maxed out all your bio-mods. even further than that, there are way too many canisters around. ![]() on top of that, every third option for bio-mods is tied to harder to get ones like the Black Market Canisters. where this system fails, however, is the fact you can replace any bio-mod at any time, so long as you have the canisters for it. on top of that, some bio-mods are entirely passive, like neural uplink, strength, and bot domination, meaning you dont need to sort through keybinds and menus to activate, and THEN use an ability. this inherently means every slot is, to some extent useful. almost all slots have 2 amazing abilities, and a third more niche ability. that said, the overall balance of bio-mods is far better than the first. but it makes it feel like the character you build isnt as unique as other peoples build (something guaranteed in Deus Ex 1). in some ways this is good, less to worry about. the bio-mods system replaces both augmentations AND skills from the previous game. where this falls apart is everything else. the gunplay in general is solid, with each weapon filling in the typical role you expect. Its a mixed bag overall, especially coming off of Deus Ex 1. i found myself playing it more than mankind divided, which should go against all the claims people make about the game. its considered the worst game in the series, yet. Deus Ex: Invisible War isnt a bad game, but it is heavily flawed Deus Ex Invisible war is a very.
