Might be the greatest game ever made. I was raving like a lunatic about it to a friend in public once and a guy next to us turned around and interrupted me to say it’s the only game he’s ever played because he felt no other games could top it.

It's true, Warren Spector won PC gaming and it's just been downhill with snazzier graphics since.

Came here just to see comments like this. Still my favorite game by far and I wish I could forget about it so I could replay it without remembering :)

damn, for real? I still haven't played it -- I didn't have a Windows machine when it came out, and by the time I did have one, it slipped through the cracks.. it's really that good? That reminds me I do have one friend who says it's his top favorite game, actually, heh. It's especially strange I haven't played it since I generally love cyberpunk/dystopian stuff like that!

It is the best PC game ever made, but I don't think it hits the same in 2025... one of those things where you had to be there.

While I don’t agree with the best ever chorus, I’d say it holds up decently well with mods. The HD mod makes the graphics acceptable, and I replayed it in 2023 or something and it was still great.

Take a look into Prey (2017) too.

It works on Linux in Wine.

When I first played this game, I couldn’t speak english and just thought it was cool.
I still remember the exact moment I learned the word “surrender” from the terrorist leader at the statue, because I’ve replayed the first level hundreds of times, since my pirated version of the game would crash around one of the first levels.
When I was a late teenager I learned english and my mind was blown that the game actually had deep meaning behind it.
I wonder how the themes of the original game hit today, in 2025, the world being what it is now.

I recall watching a review in 2020/2021 where the reviewer stated how awkward he felt about the way it just took every conspiracy theory and just asked “what if it were true?”
Bear in mind that, at this time, people genuinely believed there was some nutjob conspiracies being revealed by QAnon. Ironically, half of them seemed to come directly from Deus Ex…

Just tested Deus Ex - Revision mod. It's pretty good so far.

This is giving me another reason to play DX again.
