I feel the same way about the prequels, but I think the original game is the best game ever made.

I only played the two “new” ones. They were both good, fairly interesting, but not amazing. It’s hard to say, but it just felt like something was missing from them. Maybe it was a lack of things to do between missions beyond finding my way into a few random apartments for no real reason?
Out of the two human revolution was a bit better but there wasn’t much between them.
I still would have played the next one if it hadn’t been cancelled sadly.

Make sure you apply the GMDX PC mod

I would suggest against GMDX for a first time playthrough, it changes A LOT. From the aesthetics, to the gameplay, to the sounds, the mood, the feel of the game, and the viable approaches in each level, there’s so much that’s changed it just isn’t the same game anymore.
You’re much better off with the Vanilla Fixer tool, Transcended, or Zero Rando (I’m the dev). You could also use Revision and toggle every setting to vanilla, but make sure you also disable the HDTP models, and disable Shifter and Biomod too.

I will add that New Vision completely changes the game a lot as well. I avoided that one

Thank you! Was just about to ask if there were any suggestions for someone who had never played the original.
