  I’d like to imagine I’m responsible for the first!

  You were indeed! You’re convincing me, I’ll pencil this in as a palate cleanser at some point this year!

  Yeah, I believe Warren Spector has said before that the premise of Deus Ex was literally “what it every conspiracy theory was true”, and not really anything deeper than that.

  I just finished Mankind Divided earlier this month. I think it has higher highs than Human Revolution but suffers from being the planned “middle game” in the trilogy. It has better gameplay than HR, some great levels and some really good side quests. Also a really well executed apartheid theme that played out really well.

  I definitely recommend you playing it. It’s not gonna be OG Deus Ex, but it’s a good game.

  First your regular articles, and now an in-depth interview. And you dare suggested your not a proper gaming journalist?

  Love your work as always.

  I had no idea that existed but that looks absolutely fantastic. It’ll wishlist that one for certain.

  Thank you, I’ll keep it in mind! I might slot it in as a palate cleanser between longer games.

  Well, there is time to lose. 7ish hours main story and 20+ completionist is a pretty wide range. How many hours did it take for you?

  This is the second really positive review of the game I’ve read the past few days. I might actually slot it into my backlog now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘There Isn’t Much Sway Held by Past Success’: Baldur’s Gate 3 actors reveal it hasn’t boosted their careers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Samantha Béart (who plays Karlach in the game), Theo Solomon (Wyll) and Dave Jones (Halsin) were asked how the success of the game had changed their lives and careers.

  Okay listen I don’t want to sound rude, but I’m not that surprised. Maybe Karlach deserves a bit more recognition but while both Wyll and Halsin were both fine and perfectly adequate, I can’t say that either was the kind of memorable performance that gets you tons of new roles. Though it’s also in part due to the script and direction of course.
