Comment on Now that Deus Ex has been cancelled, what other games scratch the Deus Ex itch?
burrito@sh.itjust.works 4 months agoOh did it get better? I tried it back in the day and had a hard time getting into it.

It was always a great game IMO, nothing fundamentally changed about it. But I also understand what you mean. I bounced off it once or twice because the combat system is very, very different and I wasn’t sure I was getting it. Didn’t quite find a flow.
Eventually I just sat down and beat it, because it’s actually not a very long game. Like 5 to 7 hours. And the story/music is just unbelievable.

Cool, thanks for the write up. Maybe I’ll install it and give it another try. I have tried it a couple of times and it has been quite a while since my last attempt. It definitely was the combat system I had difficulty with.

If you’re like me, just get over your pride and play on the easiest difficulty/use whatever cheese is effective. It’s a beautiful game worth experiencing and if it requires you to completely leapfrog the combat then so be it.

I wish I had done this for each of Supergiant’s games before Hades. They’ve always had the writing, voice acting, music, and especially aesthetic down pat, but I feel it took them a while to get to solid gameplay.
