For my first entry in a series of short, admittedly lower effort game recommendations, I can't think of a better candidate than the original Deus Ex. To this day, when somebody asks you what an immersive sim is, this is the game you should point to. Every little detail is important, and every decision is impactful. You guys gotta get this one.
The music in this video is from the Deus Ex soundtrack by Alexander Brandon, Michiel van den Bos, Dan Gardopée, and Reeves Gabrels

Years ago, I was screwing around in Deus Ex. I decided to mess with Walton Simons' interrogation of the NSF prisoners. I followed him into the room and threw a mine into the cell. What followed was a hilarious symphony of emergent gameplay. The prisoners' AI saw a mine and ran to the cell door to escape. The door's AI saw NPCs that wanted to pass, so it opened. The hallway guard's AI saw enemy NPCs, so he shot them to death. Then Simons turned to me and said: "Jesus Christ, Denton!"

Am not native speak, so sorry if I'm not making myself understood, but... I think Deus Ex has it's mystery. I do not know 'bout others but when I was playing it I didn't notice when and how I got goddamn huge interest about what do I see on the screen. I have been IMMERSED! I wanted to check every possible corner of these masterpiecefully designed locations. I felt myself like I was solving problems instead of just runnin' through the plot by clicking buttons on keyboard. So many times I've frowned by thinking how to enter the building, how to bypass guards (was playn' unlethally), or what to say to the character. Newspapers, books, articles from public access-terminals are fantastically written. I was spending 3-5 hours on every mission. When you give creative freedom and enough resources to talented crew with ideas and will to create something good... a brilliant borns. Not everytime, but Deus ex this "time"

The biggest thing that makes this game special is that it's like a literal TV series, with multiple seasons, and you play through each episode. It's not just a one-off experience like a movie, like how they seem to structure games nowadays. The story evolves and evolves again, and again, and relationships get more personal. The people you interact with seem like real people, with the exception of a few cheesy accents. All the other aspects of the game, although revolutionary at the time, have in most cases been largely improved apon and are a bit silly to go on about as some sort of special feature, except for the music which is phenomenal. The level design is another huge aspect too. Sewers and underground dwellings, secret labs, night clubs, offices, it's all very interesting and cleverly interconnected. The story, although excellent in hindsight, is a bit heavy and it isn't required that you understand half of it to enjoy the game. The gameplay is pretty ruthless but ultimately it serves to add weight and moments of relief/reward that would otherwise be lacking in a run out a kill everything (and be awesome) kind of game. I think the gaming industry made a BIG mistake not making a seroor study of this game and using it to help make better games. The problem is that it's not popular enough because most people judge it on face value for what they hope/expect it to be without giving it a chance to see how good it ultimately is.

Im currently halfway through the game after several failed attempts to get into the game. An issue for beginners is that there are many playstyles you can try out but they aren't all equally fun or easy. My advice is that you should probably kill every single enemy you find. You can either upgrade your stealth and or your ability with guns but not both. Also, there's explosive barrels everywhere that you can use as free lockpicks for almost any door so try to use them effectively. If you hate running out of ammo lockpicking and electronics are invaluable. Also the box carrying augmentation is the best in the game since the meme is real: you can solve almost any puzzle in the game by stacking boxes.

Deuxs Ex has always been that game in my steam library that I played the tutorial of, stopped my session somewhere in the tutorial, and never ended up playing more. Definitely going to be put back on my radar of ever growing must-plays. I really love the idea of this series because so many times i'll want to watch a video but will be nervous about spoilers, excited to be introduced into more games spoiler free this way. Also have you ever heard of The Travelers Online? The community is really small and I've always thought it was underrated.

On my most recent run, when I came across the hostage situation in the subway station, I snuck around the back of the room using the vents, snuck up, stole the explosive crates by the hostages, and stashed them in the vent I came from (specifically, in a junction because there was no room otherwise). From there, I shot the remaining crates, killing a few NSF, and the remaining gunfight felt like it was equal parts John Wick and Benny Hill.

At th start of the pandemic, a friend of mine bought the game for me so I wouldn't go crazy during quarantine. It has been one of my favorite games ever since, crazy to think that was a year ago!

Kids growing up today and playing the mindless, creatively bankrupt tripe designed to turn them into cash cows will likely never develop the patience or imagination required to appreciate games like Deus Ex. And that really is a crying fucking shame.

Amen, ImBarry...amen to that... Same goes for film, music, and so on. I often think the world has lost so much -- beauty, creativity, heart and soul -- in its media and art; it truly is a stone cold shame to see. Not even being forty myself, I still remember a magical world full of utterly fantastic (pc) games, movies,... Then megacorporations took over -- guys in suits as expensive as the cars you or I probably drive -- with no feeling, understanding or care for what made (for example) games like Deus Ex so great; so magical. Most of our modern-day media and art is stale, unimaginative tripe indeed; creatively bankrupt; tailored from the get-go to a new generation of people with the attention spans and imaginative capacities of fruitflies. One feeds the other, and vice versa. Games like Deus Ex were, hard as it is to imagine now, only twenty years later, rather "the norm" in terms of complexity, gameplay mechanics and creative merit. Granted, DE was an exceptional title that stood above many (or most) others even then, but looking at the rest of the scene back then, you had your Wing Commanders and X-Wings, your Thiefs, your complex strategy games, your classic Rpgs, not to mention massive amounts of point & click adventures that were wildly imaginative, endlessly creative, hilarious, and just plain fun. Unforgettable times. Thing is, whenever I might feel that this is mostly rose-tinted nostalgia that colours my rear-view perception, all I have to do is boot up one of these classics again, and presto! I'm immersed in the kind of gameplay, complexity, world-building, atmosphere, ruthlessly clever design, and (last but not least) the sort of engaging experience that demands something of the player, that almost no modern game offers anymore. Playing throughout my teenage years and into my twenties and beyond, there's --still-- a massive amount of titles that have been on my to-play list from back then that I still need to get around to, while occasionally replaying favourites. The gargantuan irony is that back in the eighties and nineties I remember we used to talk about and imagine how future games might be -- "imagine the technology in twenty years time, by 2020 or so, in the hands of game designers such as LucasArts, or Sierra, or Origin, or Looking Glass, and so forth!" Sad to think the technology is finally here, but the designers aren't anymore, for the most part. Deep, thoughtful and carefully and meticulously crafted gameplay seems a thing of the past; usurped by stale, on-rails arcade experiences where the player is never to be truly challenged, never put in danger of being frustrated or hampered, never truly invited into the game world even, as massive, floating 3d arrows or blips on the 'radar' screen forever lead the way. Along convenient quest markers, eternally aided by regenerating health and variations on instinct- or insight-mode that show the locations of items, objectives, enemies, and even the fixed paths the latter trace along the map. None (and I mean *none*) of these things in Deus Ex or other classic titles. How utterly baffling to think so much can change (up to and including the demise of entire genres) in a good fifteen years... To at least end on a slightly more upbeat note: for those who have never played Deus Ex before; install it, and prepare yourselves for an immersive experience in a game, world and story that'll stay with you for the rest of your days. It still is and forever will be one of my all-time favourites, and deservedly one of the greatest classics of all time.

I think you might not be giving the kids enough credit. I think it's the fact that games like Deus ex just aren't being made or marketed anymore since the gaming industry is owned by corporate investors who just want profit and predictability. The kids play that shit because that's what's being sold to them

Deus Ex was an incredible game. One thing I still remember nearly a quarter century later is how in my efforts to see it all, I had killed an NPC and moved on, only to later have someone ask me to refrain from killing his staff in the future. This was at a time where consequences for your actions just wasn't really a thing in games, even today it's not so much a thing aside from locking out quests. Also the speech about how the wealthy are fighting a class war partly through regressive taxes (eg, you pay a higher rate than any billiionaire has) was an unexpected truthbomb.

I love Deus Ex because of the well polished floors, no one talks about it, but the moment you start a new game, and you see that mirror finish on the floor reflecting everything, you just get sucked in.

I only played the very beginning of the game so I don’t know much about it, but it gives me major Matrix, Blade movie vibes (late 90’s early 2000’s)

When I was younger and played it, I knew it was an important benchmark that would stand the test of time. Half Life too. I thought the same about Dungeon Keeper. I was half right when it comes to their places in respective genres and the way they are looked upon now; but not about the futures of the IP's themselves.
