Comment on Now that Deus Ex has been cancelled, what other games scratch the Deus Ex itch?

Ctrl Alt Ego is new, but is a fantastic immersive sim. If you want pre-2010 though, you’re limited to System Shock 1 and 2, Thief Gold/2: The Metal Age, Hitman: Blood Money, and the original Deus Ex.
Immersive Sims are coming back, but pre-2010 cuts you to essentially the formative classics of the Immersive Sim genre.
If you want to branch out of the strict boundaries of Immersive Sims, Fallout: New Vegas and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines are both incredible.

Added Ctrl Alt Ego to my Steam Wishlist - never heard of it, great tip!

Indies are absolutely crushing it, especially in the ImSim scene. Not an ImSim, but In Stars and Time recently blew me away with how much I loved the characters, even if it was cheesy.
I’m a half-patient gamer, I play older AAA and AA games, and newer and older indies. It’s a good mix!
