Deus Ex: Invisible War

The sequel to Deus Ex doesn’t live up to the legendary status of the original, especially with it being developed for consoles, however I believe that it is still a good game. Good atmosphere. Dark and sci-fi. Has the 2003 vibe in its visuals and environments that I really dig. Side quests are pretty good. Most are pretty short but have multiple stages that progress throughout the story. They also offer many choices along the way with who you want to side with. The story revolves around many different factions. It starts with the WTO and the Order but more factions start to come into play as you progress and more is revealed to the player. You will be given missions from each and can choose who you want to side with. Aside from your choice at the end of the game, you aren’t punished from choosing one side or the other. One of the factions might be upset with you and one time they actually sent a squad of goons after me, but I was never kicked out of a faction or had any long las...

Deus Ex: Invisible War is first and foremost a science-fiction RPG focused on character development and story progression rather than mindless shooting. Like its predecessor, the game shifts based on player decisions, creating a world of logical consequences where your choices genuinely matter. Story & Gameplay Set 20 years after the original, you play as Alex D, a student caught in a conspiracy involving capitalists, spiritualists, and various factions. The game excels at moral ambiguity - there are no clear "good" or "evil" choices, only shades of gray that force genuinely difficult decisions. Nearly every objective can be achieved multiple ways: stealth, hacking, violence, or clever manipulation. This flexibility extends to the narrative itself, where your actions have real consequences that affect later story developments. The physics system adds another layer of tactical options, though it can be inconsistent. Streamlined Design The game simplifies some RPG elements fro...

On it's own? I wouldn't say that it's an AWFUL game, but when it's taken how it is supposed to be taken, which is as a direct sequel to Deus Ex... Yeah it's worse in almost every single way

Great game of its time, definatly deserves a remake.

Every aspect of this game pales in comparison to the original Deus Ex, but it's still a decent game for its time.

Warning, this game doesn't play well with windows 11 even with the Visible Upgrade fan patch from my experience (three different computers including my ROG Ally it has the same weird black screen and opening multiple windows on game load issue, sometimes alt tabbing lets it load, sometimes it just locks up) I loaded it up on win10 and it works fine. From what I can see a lot of people have this issue.

Gotta Jump through hoops to get this piece of $#@! to work.

Putting the occasional crashes aside when you change level (and you will change level a lot) Invisible War is a good game but it's really bland compared to the first instalment. I'd say it's like "a cheap bottle of wine. Drink it at your own risk".

Very great game, almost 200 hours of fun!

Very dated graphics and kind of glitchy but playable
