“I love the music, but I hate this scene.” Spoilers for Deus Ex may ensue by accident, but they don’t matter because you already know the game inside-out. Spoilers are almost guaranteed to ensure, but really, they don’t matter because they’re for a game that doesn’t exist. Sadly, these are by no means everything that is wrong with Invisible War. So here follow, in no particular order, a number of gripes. It was that bad, and there was no editor. “Somebody will have modded it to be like the real Deus Ex,” I thought. “It can’t be that bad,” I thought in the shop. So why did I feel the urge to replay Invisible War, and finally give in to it? It’s hard to imagine how one could go so wrong after the triumph that was Deus Ex, and next to the very solid continuation of the Thief franchise in Deadly Shadows.
It might, might just have a prequel in a little while.
