I couldn't resist the leaked press build, I'm a sucker for anything Deus Ex and this is what they're demoing at E3 anyway so I will sleep fine tonight.

It is really good, for all that we mock the french these guys sure can make a fucking Deus Ex game. Bigger levels than I thought, good deal of NPC interaction, both stealth and combat approaches to what little I did see. The story seems mature and its well told, the voice actors are very good, the music itself is amazing and nails the Deus Ex universe. I am very excited, I haven't seen this kind of gameplay since the original. It's almost like the best elements of Mass Effect and Deus Ex collided. I stopped playing because I don't want to spoil everything for myself so I don't know if the way you play out missions factors into the story like the original.

It is a bit rough around the edges technically. DX11 mode is broken, DX9 has some stuttering and the game has mouse smoothing on. That's all to be expected from an alpha state press build though. The game was pushed back for polish so I expect most of this stuff will be ironed out. Someone finally made the Deus Ex game I've been waiting over a decade for. I think this will be one of three games I've ever preordered in my life.
