Deus Ex is a series that has always prided itself on big, branching narrative paths that deal with significant societal issues. In this episode of Writing on Games (consider it a narrative review rather than a review of the gameplay systems), I examine why the main story of Mankind Divided just doesn't work on any level. With that in mind though, I also discuss why the side missions almost perfectly remedy the issues I have with the main quest.

As stated in the video, the PC version running poorly combined with my capture software bugging out meant I had to rely on other people's footage to illustrate my points unfortunately. That said, a massive, massive thank you to Tetraninja, Centrestrain01 and JayShockBlast for facilitating this. Hope I've done it justice!
