Quietly sitting at an 88 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. Built around not being seen. Ghost it or go loud, but ghosting is the real game. Come for the campaign, stay because your friends won't let you leave the lobby.

About this game

The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. The Game of the Year edition contains the latest game updates and a software development kit, a separate soundtrack CD, and a page from a fictional newspaper featured prominently in Deus Ex titled The Midnight Sun, which recounts recent events in the game's world.

Set in a dystopian world during the 2050s, the central plot follows the story of JC Denton, an anti-terrorist agent employed by the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition (UNATCO), as he uncovers a deep conspiracy, encountering fictional re-creations of organizations such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati, and the Hong Kong Triads throughout his journey.
